Out of them, Kadara, Bharati-bandha, Gandhaveda and other servants are called vita[1]<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Servants called ceta<\/span><\/h3>\n

Bhangura, Bhringara, Sandhika, Grahila, Raktaka, Patraka, Patri, Madhukantha, Madhuvrata, Salika, Talika, Mali, Mana, Maladhara and others are cetas[2]<\/a>.

They present red ochre and other minerals to Sri Krishna.<\/span><\/p>\n

[1]<\/a> Vitas are assistants talented in making dresses and other similar tasks; they are cunning; they are skilled in conversation; and they are experts in subjugating others and in other tasks (Jaiva-dharma, Chapter 32).<\/span><\/p>\n

[2]<\/a> The cetas are assistants who can cleverly find out anything. They perform secret tasks and are bold-minded.<\/span><\/p>\n

[3]<\/a> The venu is a small flute that is nine inches long, is as wide as one’s thumb, and has six holes.<\/span><\/p>\n

[4]<\/a> The murali is a flute which is thirty-six inches long, has a mouthpiece at the end, and has four holes on its body.<\/span><\/p>\n
