Description of Shri Balramji's Raas Leela
Duryodhana asked, "O Lord, Munisattam. When did Lord Balabhadra, along with the Nagakanya Gopis, roam on the banks of the Yamuna? . 1.
The sage Pradwipak said, "Once upon a time, Balramji felt a great longing to see his friends and relatives. They then set out from Dwarka on a chariot laden with their taladhvaja and reached Gokul, full of cows, gopalas, and gopis. Nandraj and Yashodaji were also eager to see him for a long time, so they took him to heart. Balabhadra then met cows, gopis and gopals and stayed there for two whole spring months. The first Nagakanyas who are described as Gopis proved it by obtaining the calendar of Balabhadra from Gargacharya. Balabhadra, pleased by his influence, played the rasa with him in the rasam-mandala on the banks of the Kalindi. That day was the full moon of Chaitra. The full moon of the Arun Varna was rising and painting the entire forest with its colorful rays. The cold wind was blowing slowly all over the place for nectar and pollen from the lotus. The blissful Yamuna was sweeping through the serene backwaters with its turbulent waves. The courtyard of the well was adorned with various gardens and covered with gleaming beautiful Pallavas and pollen from flowers. The peacocks and cuckoos were humming in melodious tones, and the melodious voice of the sweet-drinking Madhukars was giving the eloquent Bhraj-Bhoomi a very graceful reception. (Shribalabhadrakhand chapter 7 to 13)
Nupur was making a sweet sound at Balramji's feet. They were adorned with gilded beads, earrings, earrings, necklaces, crowns, and coils. The shade of lotus was on his forehead. They were dressed in blue and blue. He had eyes similar to those of Vimal Kamal. Such Sribaldevji was surrounded by gopis in the Rasmandal, surrounded like a Yakshagana king with Yakshinis. 2 - 5.
Subsequently, inspired by Varuna, the goddess Varuna appeared and began to flow through the groves of trees. The fragrance of that flowering plant made the whole forest fragrant. Madhukar-Punj started spending time with Madhukar-Punj out of Madhuk's greed. Varuni-Panse Mad-Vihal, Kamal-Dale-like Vishal and Arun-eyed Baldevji's limbs trembled with love. Subsequently, due to manual labour, droplets of water droplets appeared on his face and he washed away the paintings on his foreheads. Subsequently, Baldevji, who was Gajrajaki-Si Chalawale and had arms as large as Gajendra Airavata's trunk, began to play with the gopis in a manner similar to that of the frenzied Matanga elephants. He was adorned with a plough and a moustache on his lion-skull-like shoulder. They were scattering as fast as the rays of billions of full moons. Flamboyant jewels adorned Manjeer, Chanchal Nupur, Swarnamayi Kinkini with melodious words, Kadha, Tatak, necklace, Shrikanth, rings and the divine Manibhushan on the head. Lord Balaram, the All-Bhuvanapati, with his Krishna Alakavalauki braid adorned with beautiful petals painted on his forehead and adorned with black beads, sat there and began to perform Ras-Vihar. 6.
Then, while wandering and playing in the forest on the banks of the Yamuna, Baldevji's face showed drops of sweat on the lotus. Then he called out to Yamuna ji from afar to perform Sran and Jal-Krida, but Yamuna was not Arya. Baldev then angrily pulled Yamunaji out of the light boat and said, "I called you today, but you did not come after insulting me. You are going to act arbitrarily. Alright, now let me cut you into a hundred pieces with this piece of paper. 'When Balaramji rebuked Yamuna Ji in this manner, she fell on his feet in great fear and said, 'O Lokabhiram Ram! This is the contraction. Balabhadra. Oh dear Lord! Oh! I did not know your immense strength and power. You have the entire territory lying on one head like mustard. I am unaware of your supreme influence and have taken refuge in you. You are a devotee. Let go of me On praying in this way, Goparaja Balabhadra left the Yamuna and, like Gajaraja with the elephants, he began to play water sports with the gopis. Subsequently, on his exit from the Yamuna, Yamuna Ji came and presented him with many blue garments and ornaments of gold and jewels. Duryodhana! Balramji distributed all those garments among the separate gopis and himself became seated like an Airavata, wearing a garland of gold made of indigo and new gems. Kouravendra! Thus, the playful Yadav Shrestha Balramji spent the spring night. Just as the sight of Hastinapur shows the valor of Lord Balramji, so to this day, the Yamunaji, flowing in a crooked path, is conveying his power. The person who listens or narrates the context of this Raslila of Lord Balaram is liberated from all sins and attains the rank of Paramananda. The Crown Prince! What do you want to hear now? . 7-11 | (Shribalabhadrakhand chapter 7 to 13)
Thus, a new chapter titled 'Narration of the Raslila of Sri Balarama' was completed in the dialogue of Sri Pradvipaka Muni and Duryodhana under the Sri Balabhadra Khanda in the Sri Garga Samhita. 9.
