English translation
Description of Mohinis stotra Radhika said- O lord what an astonishing tale has been heard by me. Now I would like to know the curse of Brahma.
Who happens to be the creator of the three worlds and is also the bestower of the reward for the tap as. How could he become unadorable with the curse of a wicked women.
Sri Krsna said- O my beloved, in the Raivata Manvantara, Sucandra, the best of the kings was a great Vaisnava and was devoted to the gods.
He was quite knowledgeable and extremely religious, He while performing tapas arrived in Bharata and reached the pleasant valley of Malayacala. He perforated tapas here for a thousand years. Because of the hard tapas his body was shattered. When his body was covered with white-ants, the compassionate lord Brahma arrived there in the secluded place, where he was performing tapas in order to bestow a boon or Brahma who is well-versed in the yogic- practices, took out water from his kamandalu which had emerged from my body and he sprinkled the same on the ascetic reciting the mantra which was given by me to him.
TOR TOTO TORt Wit ^ With the touch of the water of kamandalu the king at once stood before Brahma, the creator of the universe and started adoring him with devotion. Brahma on the other hand who had been bom out of the lotus, bowed in reverence to the king and said, 'O best of the kings you asked for the desired boon.
Hearing the words of Brahma, the king asked for the best of the boons saying, "Let my mind remain always devoted at the feet of the lord and I should also achieve his slavehood."
