Krsna, slayer of demons,{{#tag:ref|Murá (মুরা) was the general of King Narakasura, who attacked Dvaraka, the capital of Krśńa's kingdom. According to legend, on the day before Diipavali (the new-moon day of the month of Karttik, roughly mid-October to mid-November), Krśńa's wife, Satyabhámá, defeated and killed Narakasura. However, Krśńa is credited with the slaying of Narakasura's general, Murá. Hence, Krśńa is sometimes referred to as Murári (মুরারি), the enemy of killer of Murá. According to mythology, both Narakasura and Murá were demons. So, ''murári'' may be loosely translated as "slayer of demons".|group="nb"}}, Your flute | |||
