Theft of a Tree, by the sixteenth-century poet Nandi Timmana, recounts how Krishna stole the pārijāta, a wish-granting tree, from the king of the gods. Krishna gifts the tree to his wife Satyabhama--who must temporarily relinquish it to enjoy endless happiness. The text is presented in the Telugu script alongside the first English translation.
