English translation
The marriage of Nanda Narada said- O virtuous one, I have listened, to everything and nothing has been left out. This fulfils all the wishes.
O teacher of the universe, you tell me as to what should be done by me. You give me a command I shall go to Himalaya for performing Narayana said- In one of your earlier births, you were the husband of fifty damsels, known as a Gandharva named Upabarhana. Currently you are the son of Brahma.
One of the damsels was quite beautiful and chaste, she performed great tapas for Siva in order to get Narada as her husband.
She was the daughter of Smjaya and the real sister of SvarnasthlvL Ypu batter marry him. No one could venture to go against the wished of lord Krsna.
She happened to be the ray of LaksmI with tender limbs, besides being quite chaste, virtuous, attractive and Soft spoken. She is quite passionate, beautiful and possessed the ever lasting youthfulness therefore you surely marry her, who can erase the reward of the earlier The deeds do not vanish even after the lapse of hundred crores of kalpas one has to face the reward of the good and had deeds without fail.
Suta said- On hearing the words of Narayana, Narada bowed before him with a painful heart and at once moved to the abode of Srnjaya.
said- O virtuous one, we have listened to quite attractive, astonishing and unprecedented ancient secret, I would like to listen about the marriage of Narada, the son of Brahma and the one who had controlled all his Suta said- Narada secretly looked at the virtuous daughter of Srnjaya and went to the court of Brahma which was surrounded by all the gods. Bowing in reverence to BrahmS he spoke to him quite humbly.
Brahma the lord of the universe, after meeting his son and learning about the proposed marriage delightfully proceeded with other gods, mounted on the gem-studded plane, accompanied with his son, to the place of Srnjaya.
On hearing about the news, the king Srnjaya adorning his charming daughter with gem- studded ornaments gave her away in marriage to Narada delightfuIlyT He offered several of the precious gems and the riches in daksind the king then prayed to them with folded hands. The king Srhjaya who was the best of the yogis, after offering his daughter to Brahma, started crying uttering the name of his daughter.
He said, ”0 daughter having the eyes resembling the lotus flowers where are you going deserting my house. Getting separated from your company I shall go to the terrific forest because without you I am feeling like dead."
The girl while sobbing left her weeping parents behind offering her salutation to them and mounted on the chariot of Brahma.
Brahma on his part delightfully accompanied with the bride and the groom together with the gods and the sages went to Brahmaloka.
He performed all the welfare ceremonies there, serving food to the Brahmanas and the gods, beating the big drums.
The sage Narada was deprived of his earlier deeds. O dear one, the one who is habitual to performing particular type of deed, who could prevent him from doing so.
He then started enjoying the company of his spouse on the bed of flowers and became unconcerned with the passing of the day and night. Thus Narada the best of the sages was involved in the conjugal pleasures. He Started residing under the charming banyan tree. At that point of time, Sanatkumara, the three brothers arrived there who always remained nude, illumining with the divine lustre. They appeared like the Supreme lord in the form of children, appearing in the age of five years, who were devoid of the first shaving of their heads, the thread ceremonies and the performing of sandhyd. They were always reciting the mantra of Krsna, whose teacher was Narayana himself, who remained roaming about all the times, was the foremost of the intellectual Vaisnavas, the best of the devotees of the lord and who were the teachers of the teachers, arrived there. Finding those brothers who are the best among the noble
people. Narada prostrated before them. The sage then smiled and spoke to Narada, the words which were quite auspicious.
Sanatkumara said- O brother, what are you doing? O husband of damsel, are you keeping on well, is the love of the couple going on increasing? This love obstructs the divine path of knowledge. It serves as the door leaf for the door of devotion. It obstructs the path of salvation and in to the wordily the bondage for a long time.
This is the seed for entering in the womb and results into the fall in the hell. A degraded and sinful person enjoys it like the nectar.
The one who discarding the name of Narayana involves hipiself into such worldly pleasures, he under the influence of the illusion owns the Except the lord all the people, have to face the fruit of their deeds, we people are the sons of Brahma, this type of behaviour is to be indulged ihto by the human beings.
If you have not to face the result of your deed then how could you be bom as the son of female servant getting detached from the company of devotees of the lord?.
O brother, discarding this beautiful damsel, who is the form of illusion, you proceed on for performing tapas. In the sacred land of Bharata, you must recite the name of Madhava, By devoting your mind to lord Narayana who bestows salvation on the people, the one who remains engrossed in the worldly pleasures, he is surely over-powered with the illusion or the pleasures, he surely over-powered with the illusion of the lord.
The essence of all the mantras and the best of all happens to be the mantras called Krsna. You receive it.
There is no mantra better than the same in all the Puranas, the four Vedas, the religious treatises and all the tantras.
This mantra, was given to me by Narayana nimself at Puskara-ksetra on the occasion of the solar eclipse. I reciting the same for innumerable kalpas, became adorable by all and I moved at Thus speaking he bestowed the mantra to Narada. Holding a rosary in his hand, he started reciting the same through out the day and night.
Sanatkumaras who happened to be the foremost of the Vaisnavas pronouncing their blessing for Narada and bestowing the mantra on him went to Goloka to have an audience with the eternal Brahman.
Narada on the other hand receiving the mantra which bestowed all the success, destroying all his previous deeds achieved the infallible devotion of Lord Krsna.
Disowning his wife he went to the land of Bharata for performing tapas. Reaching the bank of Krtamala river, he hod an audience with lord Finding ^iva there, the sage Ntlrada suddenly prostrated before him. Lord Siva who bestows his grace on his devotees spoke to NSrada.
Siva said- O Narada, I have been delimited to meet you with the gloiy, the day on which meet our devotees, it becomes an suspicious days for the human beings.
For the human beings it is quite beneficial to have an audience with the devotees of the lord.
The one who has an audience with the Vais navas, he earns the merit of having bath at all the you achieved the inaccessible Mahdmantra which is difficult of all the tantras which I had bestowed upon Ganesa and my son The knowledge of this mantra was bestowed by lord Kfsna on me in Rdsamari^lala of the Goloka besides Brahma and Dharma. Dharma bestowed the knowledge to Narayana.
Brahma bestowed the knowledge to Sanatkumara, who has bestowed the same to you, by receiving this mantra, one becomes By reciting this mantra, the good or bad time, become of no consequence; by reciting this mantra five lakhs of time, one meets with fTRlET fq[^ tRq;i One should adore Kpspa according to the dhyanam prescribed in the Sdmaveda which destroyed the sin and cuts at the root of the deeds. He has dark complexion of the new clouds is of quite a tender age, wearing pltdmbara, illumining with the lustre of hundred crores of the moons, adorned with best of the gem-studded ornaments. His body is plastered with sandal-paste. The kaustubha gem adorns his chest, the peacock feather appears on the head.
He wears the garland and of jasmine flowers, wears a serene smile on the face. He is adored by Siva and others gods daily. He is difficult to be achieved even with meditation, is devoid of all the gunas, beyond Prakrti, the supreme soul of all, the one who takes to human form for the sake of his devotees, the on who is inexplicable by the Vedas and is the lord of all. I adore lord Krsna who is the best or all. One should meditate upon the eternal lord with this dhydnam. Who is blissful, truthful eternal, beyond everything and is known by the name of lord Krsna. Thus speaking lord Siva retired to his abode.
Bowing at the feet of lord Siva, Narada went for performing iapas. Narada discarded his human body by yogic practices and devoting his mind at the feet of lord Hari he entered the lotus¬ like feet of lord Hari which are adored always by
