This book presents an analytical study of selected narratives of the tenth skandha of the Bhagavata Purana with the framework of Narratology. It checks the possibilities of interpretation of some popular narratives from Krsna saga. Book gives an exhaustive introduction dealing with Puranas, the growth of Vaisnnavism and Narratology with special reference to Bhagavata Purana which sets precursor to the further analysis. It undertakes hermeneutic interpretation of episodes – Lord Krsna’s birth story, Lifting of Govardhana Mountain, Syamantaka jewel, exploits of Putana and other demons, uprooting of Arjuna trees, the expulsion of Kaliya, Gopiciraharanam, Rasapaηcadhyayi, story of Kubja, story of Sridaman and Rukmini Svayamvara. All these narratives are categorised into three themes – 1) Assimilation and acculturation 2) Exploits of demons and 3) Bhakti Narratives.
