English translation

The birth of Krsnas Radha besides other gods and goddesses oAjmdi?i( Narada said —O lord, “I have heard the details about the sioncs of different gods and goddesses but in order to enhance my knowledge I would like to lisien lo the same in detail, The goddess who is considered to be the best by those wcli-versed in the Vedas and happens to be the eternal force and the creator of the universe, I would like to know the details about her and also the way in which she appeared in five form.

You also kindly let me know the details of the goddess who emerged out of the three fold race of the goddess. I would like to listen to the stoiy about them in details.

You kindly intimate me the story about her birth, her dhyanam and the method of her adoration beside her stotra and kavaca. You also enlighten me about her treasure, powers about the bestowing of welfare and prowess.

Sri Narayana said—The time and the sky are eternal like the directions. The universe is a globe and the Goloka is also elernal.

In one of its portions, Vaikuntha is lodged.

Similarly the eternal Prakrti who always meditates upon Brahman is also eternal.

As the fire as inherent power to born, the moon and the lotus have their lustre and the lustre always remain in the sun and can never be separated, similarly the great soul always resides in the eternal Prakrti.

Similarly without Prakrti the great soul is unable to resort to the creation. The one on the base of whom, lord Hari is filled with strength, the same Prakrti is the form of strength of prowess. means the riches and ^ means the prowess. She is therefore the one who has both tKese forms and provides these two qualities to everyone, because of which she is called sakti, The word W] stands for intelligence, increase in riches and glory. The same sakti is called BhagavatT because she is also known for these qualities. And she is always the form of fortune.

Because the lord is always associated with Bhagavati he is called Bhagavan. Lord Krsna moves at his own will but being invisible, he also takes to visible form.

The same great soul being eternal Brahman and the lord is meditated upon by the yogis in his invisible form. Being invisible, he is able to see everything, is all knowledgeable, the cause of all the causes, resides in all the forms, is fonnless and is the preserver of all.

As a gold-smith in unable to make the ornaments without the gold, a potter is unable to prepared the pitcher without earth.

But his Vaisnava devotees who have a sharp sight do not accept this. They are of the opinion that without the illustrious person who would be taken to possess the tejas. Therefore in the centre of the tejas the illustrious eternal Brahman always resides. He moves at will, is the fonn of everything and is the cause of all the causes. He always remains in the form of tender-age person, looking extremely beautiful and charming. He is peaceful lord of eveiyone and is better of the The eternal Vaisnavas meditate upon him in this form and by his grace they are relieved of the pains of birth, death, old age, disease, grief and fear.

The entire life span of Brahma is equivalent to a moment of the lord. He happens to be the great soul, eternal Brahman and lord Sri Krsna.

i d) ^ vn M11? o n His dark complexion resembles the glory of new clouds and is the best of all He has broad eyes and he has the glory, the beauty of the lotus flowers. His teeth are as beautiful as the pearls.

He has the feather of a peacock always adorning his head and wears a long garland of jasmine flower. His nose is beautiful and he wears a smile on his face. The extremely beautiful lord always remains anxious to do to good to others, he is clad in pure yellow lower garment and has quite a charming body. He has two arms and holds a flute in his hands. He is adorned with gem-studded ornaments. He is the great lord and the base of all. He is the lord who possesses all the prowess, bestows all the riches, appears in all the forms independent, bestower of welfare, complete in all respect, siddha and the giver of success besides being the cause of success.

The word in Krsna stands for Bhakti and stands for slavery or devotion. That is why lord Krsna is known as the bestower of devotion and the feeling of serving others.

stands for all and 'oi stands for seeds.

Therefore the word Krsna can be eternal Brahman and the form of seed of all.

O Narada all his qualities never declined even during the age of several Brahmas. No one is as virtuous as he is at present. He was alone at the time of creation. At that point of time he developed a desire for creating the universe.

Inspired by his smallest form he thought of creation. He moves according to his own will and he appeared in two forms, his left side represents the female and the right side represents the male.

I y (JViy I fui I? ^11 smxm miT msf wi^i He is denial, possesses great passion, is the house of passion and the Purusa started staring at the divine female. She possessed immense glory like the campaka flowers, had round breasts like full moon and her legs were like the trunk of the banana tree; her lips resembled those of the ripe bimba fruit; she had quite a charming and well developed body, besides the slender waist. The damsel was quite, peaceful and wore a serene smile over the face. She was clad in the garments shining like the fire flames and was adorned with all the ornaments. She looked at lord Krsna like the partridge bird looks at the moon continuously. The face of lord Krsna was so glorious that crores of moon were of no consequence before him. The lady had a tilakam of kasturi over her forehead. Beneath it, there were other small dots. In the centre of the forehead there was another dot of vermilion. She

was devoted to her beloved and she had curly hair over her head. The beautiful garland of jasmine flowers was adorning her neck and her body emitted the lustre of crores of moons. She was belittling the grace of the geese and wagtail birds Krsna, the lord of Rasa felt delighted casting a glance at the lady, he entered the dancing hall with her. The Rasakridd or the dancing started in seclusion as if the Srngdra himself emerged in a human form on earth and was dancing with the damsel making several gestures. They enjoyed the pleasure of dancing for a period of the life of Brahma.

Thereafter the lord of the universe, who is blissful felt fatigued and planted his seed in her womb in an auspicious time.

TRITfRfilvrraT iT:W At the end of the love-sport, she felt fatigued.

The fluid started flowing and she started breathing heavily. Every drop of water which emerged from her body resulted in the building of the universe. Her breathing was the base of all, as a result of which the wind became the source of life of all.

Thereafter from the left side of Vayu his wife emerged. Thereafter five son were born to her which were taken to be the life of the people.

And they were known as Prana, Apdna, Samdna, Uddna and Vydna who were the five sons. There are five Adhah-pranas as well as forty five others. Thereafter with the water of her sweet lord Varuna was bom from whom his wife VamiiM also emerged.

Thereafter the great sakti of lord Krsna is also conceived and remained illuminated with the tejas of Brahman for a hundred Manvantras.

Thereafter the lady of the life of lord Krsna, who was his beloved and companion too and always resided in his heart, after the completion of a hundred Manvantras gave birth to a golden egg which became the base of the entire At the same movement from the tip of the tongue of the goddess a fair complexioned girl was bom.

She was wearing a yellow lower gannent holding a flute and a book in her hands. She happened to be goddess of all the idstras and was adorned with all there ornaments, After some time the same goddess appeared in two forms and these two forms were known as Kamala and Radhika.

The goddess was filled with mental agony as the sight of the egg and with a painful heart she threw away the egg in the deep oceanic water.

Lord Krsna felt disturbed at the sight of throwing of the egg into the water by her and in anger he pronounced a curse on her, “O damsel you are heartless and filled with rage, you have disowned your progeny therefore hence fort you In the meant time Krsna too transfonned into two forms. From the right side, he appeared as having two aims and from the left side he appeared in four arms and was known as Visnu.

Lord Krsna asked Sarasvatl to be the wife of Visnu and Radhika remained with him to earn welfare. Similarly he handed over LaksmI to Narayana. Thereafter lord Visnu took both of them to Vaikuntha.

And all the women who are born with you Amsas would always remain young but shall never bear any children.

Since they were bom from Radha and Mula- prakrti, both LaksmI and Sarasvatl had no issue.

Thus from Narayana's body several of the allcndants of Visnu were born who in prowess, age form and qualities were like Visnu.

Thereafter crores of the maid-servants were bom out of the body of Laksmi who were as beautiful as the goddess herself supreme intelligence of lord Krsna. She is the form of the seed of all the goddess and is Miila- Prakrti, Isvarl and complete in all respects, illustrious one, possessor of all the three gimas rajas and tamas). She has the complexion of molten gold and possesses the lustre of crores of suns. She wears the serene smile over her face and possess a thousand arms.

O sage, thereafter, lord Krsna who is the dweller of Goloka made several of the cowherds from his hair-pits who were like him in prowess and beauty.

All the Gopas bearing the beauty, best qualities, the dress and strength, became the advisors of lord Krsna.

Similarly from the hair-pits of Radha many cowherd-girls emerged who were as beautiful as Radha and always spoke Sweet words.

They were adorned with all the ornaments and were every youthful and because of the curse of lord Krsna they bore no children.

O Brahmana, in the meantime from the body of lord Krsna the eternal Durga, the illusion of lord Visnu emerged.

She is also called a Narayanl, Tsana and possessor of all the strength. She was the Durga, the great goddess has three eyes and holds a large number of weapons in her hand.

She is clad in the clothes sanctified by the god of fire and is adorned with all the ornaments.

All the ladies on earth happen to be the rays of the same goddess and her illusion influences the entire universe. Those who adore her with a specific purpose, their desires are fulfilled by her.

She bestows the devotion of lord Krsna and for the devotees of lord Visnu she appears in the fonn of Visnu.

She bestows salvation to the devotees and those who desires of the worldly pleasures, she bestows the same on them. In the heaven she conduct herself as Laksmi of the heaven and with the house-holders. She conduct herself as the Laksmi of the house, she dwells in the tapas of the kings, burning aspect of the fire, lustre of the sun, rays of the moon, beauty of the lotus flower and the entire strength of lord Krsna.

From her, the entire universe gets strength and without her the entire universe inspite of being alive, seems to be dead.

O Narada, she is like the seed for the tree of the universe. She has the form of remaining static, intelligence and bestows the reward also.

Rcgr: rrrIw; I She alone is hunger, thirst, compassion, Sraddha, sleep, fatigue, forgiveness, patience, peaceful, shyness, satisfaction, growth, fallacy and the glory. Thereafter offering prayer to lord Krsna she stood before him who offered him the gem-studded lion throne.

O sage, at the same time Brahma also reached there with his spouse. Brahma had emerged from the navel of lord Krsna.

RTRtlSgRT: ^IMiRmwl?llpRi RT:I He appeared as an ascetic, was the best of the intellectuals, holding a Kamandalu and his faces were wearing the divine lustre. Brahma then started eulogising lord Krsna. At the same movement the spouse of Brahma having the lustre of hundreds of moons possessing beautiful teeth, clad in the gannents satisfied by god Agni, adorned with all the ornaments, also offered prayer to lord Krsna and thereafter took her seat besides her husband. At that very moment lord Krsna took to two forms his lift part appeared as Mahadeva and the right side remained as Krsna as usual. The glory of lord Mahadeva appeared like crystal gem and he was illumining like crores of suns. He was holding a trident and a pat tisa. He was clad in tiger skin. His matted locks of hair emitted the lustre of the molten gold. He had plastered his body with the ashes and wore a smile over his face besides the crescent over his

forehead, he wore no gannent and was adorned with the ornaments of snake. He held a rosary of gems in his right hand. He had five heads emitting the eternal lustre. He was eternal, truthful, great soul, TsVara, cause of all the causes and welfare of all the welfares and the one who could relieve everybody of birth, death,^ old age, disease, grief and fear and happens to be death for the god of death. By reciting the glory of lord Krsna he came to be known as Mrtyuhjaya. He also took his seat over the gem-studded lion throne, with the permission of lord Krsna.
