How does the song text relate to an instrumental performance of a kriti section such as the kriti “Sarasiruha” section that you hear from 8:25-14:45, and in which the actual words to the song are not sung?

What will be an ideal response?

• "Although the words of the song are not audible in an instrumental performance, the musicians and knowledgeable members of the audience know the song text well."
• This situation is similar to a Westerner hearing an instrumental version of, say, a familiar pop song or ballad from the Western music culture.
