English translation
Rajasuya Yajna of Vasudeva Narada said- O lord, after the adoration of Ganesa and the rec'^ing of Radhd-stotra what happened thereafter you please tell me.
Narayana said- At the Ganesa-pujana-tirtha, the gods, the yogis and the ascetics had arrived and all were seated under the shade of the banyan tree. Out of them, Vasudeva and Devakl enquired from Siva, Brahma, Sesa and other | ascetics respectfully, "O virtuous one, you j people are graceful to the down-trodden therefore how can the degraded people like us achieve the best position? How shall we cross the ocean of universe? you kindly tell me.
You, people indeed serve as the sailors for crossing the boat of the ocean of the universe, because the holy places are not always in the water and the gods never emerge from the earth.
The auspicious vrata, fasting, performing of tapas, giving away charities in many ways, the adoration of the Brahmanas and the gods, purify j the performer for a long time but the Vaisnavas purify people with their very presence, with the touch of the dust of the feet of the devotees of Visnu, the entire universe gets purified at once.
The holy places, the ocean as well as the mountains also get purified.
wPnTT wi I 11 The gods also get desirous of meeting of a Vaisnava for the destruction of their sins like the fire burning the wood. Such of the person who is unable to achieve the knowledge by keeping the company of the Vaisnavas, indeed is a fool. The knowledge otherwise is tasteful like the milk and the curd. Therefore, O teacher of the great intellectuals, I happen to be the father of Krsna and have kept his company for long. Similarly Devakr too happens to be his mother. Listening to the words of Vasudeva, Siva himself who happens to be well-versed in all the Vedas laughed aloud and said.
Mahadeva said- To live with the intellectuals sometimes becomes disgraceful to them, as the people who get purified with the water of Gahga still go to the other holy places. The father of Krs na is quite a well-read person and his father was the form of Vasu and was descendants of the race of Kasyapa.
iTwr ^ly-TT5r(iii i 11 They have a clear and auspicious approach towards Krsna and they seek knowledge from us, who are unaware of the personality of Krsna.
The illusion of Visnu is Durga. Mahamaya and overpowers even the intellectuals. The illusion of Visnu is beyond the reach of all the people in the three worlds. We people always get influenced with the same, influences with the same illusion, Brahma the creator of the Vedas, performed tapas for his whole life at his lotus-like feet and wanted to taste such a type of Krsna.
With the fall of ten lakh and eight hundred Indras, Brahma has to fall; after that a movement of Madhava is counted, There was a fight between Krsna and Indra for the sake of Parijdta tree, I saved Indra by returning the Parijdta tree to him.
The knowledge which is beyond description and the people with little wisdom hardly know about the same. Therefore it is always proper to adore the lord.
I am aware of the soul of the creatures but I am unaware about the knowledge above them who are equals, therefore you better ask about the auspicious things from Krsna alone.
The four praharas of Brahma have been equated with a kalpa by the knowledgeable people. The same Markandeya remained alive for seven kalpas, after the fell of nineteen eight Indras. The same sage Markandeya had them to fall. Thereafter the sage as the result of the tapas performed by him, achieved the slavehood of Kr§ At the time of dissolution, with the fall of Brahma, the sage Lomasa also had to fall.
Thereafter, the Dikpalas and nine planets also have been to fall. Thus those with long life have to live only for this duration.
At the time of dissolution Brahma falls; he remerge from the forehead of Siva. Siva happens to be the beginning of all. This has been ordained by Gahga.
The way in which Radha emerged from the left side of Krsna, Durga, LaksmT, Sarasvatl and Savitrl also emerged from his body in the same The twelve Adityas were bom out of the body of Aditi. Similarly there were fourteen Indras on Similarly there were eight Vasus, eleven Rudras after the fall of Manu, Indra also falls.
After dissolution the entire universe, Brahma with Brahmaloka and together with his saktis, are all submerged in water, Krsna himself is the root of all and the lord of all.
sTorrfw cTT?it R ^ RTfiSRRf<frl5ofy5t cMTII? 9 It Therefore Vasudeva should organise a Rdjasuya-yajna and should adore his son Krsna with the performing of the yajna. Thereafter giving away daksind appropriately, you cross over the ocean of the universe. Without that, you cannot achieve moksa\ you are a Kasyapa; the riches of the devotees cannot be held by you.
Devakl is the form of Aditi.
You should therefore go to the heaven, together with Devakl which happen to be your, own abode and your own temple. On hearing the, words of Siva, Vasudeva who had over-powered | all tire organ of his senses collected the material j perfonned the Rdjasuya-yajna in the auspicious time. Yajnesa, the lord of yajna himself was resent thereat he re fore the gods appeared themselves and accepted the offerings. O sage, thereafter at the instance, of Krsna, Sanatkumara the lord of the gods.
Sanatkumara said- O lord, the husband of Laksmi, you give me all your belongings in daks ind immediately and make the yajna successful, now you listen to the words which are according to the Vedas. In case the Brahmana is not given daksina at once, with the passage of a ghadl^ the amount of daksina is doubled. After the lapse of the day it multiplies to four times and after the lapse of three nights it multiplies to six times.
After the lapse of the fortnight it multiplies to hundred times and after the lapse of a month, it further multiplies to four hundred times; after the lapse of six months, it multiplies to a thousand times. O lord of the Yadus, after lapse of one years, it multiplies to a lakh of times after which both the performer and the priest fall into the hell. This has been ordained by Brahma. On hearing this Vasudeva at the instance of Krsna delightfully gave away everything to the sage.
R TRRRt R?TOrfeR3RRTR;i At very first, Vasudeva, the father of the lord of Laksmi then gave away ten crows of very precious gems to Garga.
VWcfillR RRn''^iaii wuil'ni RRjfjruTH^i Ten crores of the best of gems and four times more the gold, emeralds, diamond, silver, gold, vases, all the ornaments of his wife and the daughter-in-law, a lakh of white fly-whisks an equal number of gem-studded mirrors, herds of Kdmadhenu cows, a hundred crores of elephants, a hundred crores of huge elephants, four hundred crores of horses, all the riches of the Yadavas, all the riches of Ugrasena with his consent, the paddy with a hundred lakh of villages, the blossoming trees, a lakh of mountains like heaps of cereals and an equal number of the heaps of paddy, beside payasam, nectar-like sweets, smstika sweet, sweet balls of sesamum, curd, honey, milk, gucla and ghee were given filled in canals. Thereafter he gave away the betel with camphor, the fragrant and cool water, fragrant sandal-paste, garland of Parijata flowers, the beautiful seeds, spotless costumes, the flowers
made of gems, beside the fruit were delight fully given to the Brahmanas, He also served the gods by feeding the Brahmanas.
During the night, the sages and gods enjoyed the company of their wives and in the early morning all of them left the place with the permission of Krsna.
Thereafter, all the people of the race of Yadus and adored with innumerable gems and other, valuables proceeded to Dvaraka which was protected by Krsna.
