GITA GOVINDA is a lyrical poetry organised in 12 chapters. Each chapter into 24 divisions{prabhandas}. The PRABHANDAS contain COUPLETS grouped into eights called ASHTAPADIS {Ashta means EIGHT}.In this lyrical treatise, Saint Jideva has shown his mastery in music and dance along with his dauntless devotion to LORD VISHNU.It lends itself to be adapted to the different musical versions and dance performance.It is because of its religious fervour , that it was adapted by the temple dancers.JAIDEVA was instrumental in popularising DASAVATHARAM , the TEN incarantions of Lord Vishnu in another compositiion DASAKRITIKRITA. The classic "TRIBHANGI" {three-fold} posture of KRISHNA playing the flute gained popularity due to him.
