["The Gopala is certainly not a great work of art, which it could not possily have been. Composed as it was for an autumnal performance (probably as a puppet or shadow-play [.,.] given before an assembly of Vaisnava devotees, it had to deal with all the traditional themes of the Radha-Krsna legend, some of which could only sketchily be treated. There was little room for originality and the composition is, like that of the Krsna-plays in general, inevitably weak. Since however, the language is comparatively natural and simple, the Gopakla has, on the whole, a certain freshness and charm which recompenses its study" - Preface] Minor rubbing. VG., dustwrapper.
