The Gateway of the Third Fort - The Glory of the Visitation and Worship of the Gods and the Significance of the Pindaraka-Tirtha
Srinardji says - Rajan! Anjaninandan Mahabali Hanumanji Ahernish guards the eastern gate of the third fort. A person who has darshan of Mahabali Bhagavad Bhakta Hanuman ji there is a great devotee of Bhagavad like Hanuman ji. 1-2.
Similarly, the Dakshin Dwar is guarded by the Sudarshan Chakra day and night. The king! That Sudarshana's mind is always engaged in Shri Krishna. From her philosophy alone, a human being is an excellent devotee of Sriharika. The Sudarshana Chakra also protects the devotee at all times. 3-4.
Similarly, the western gate is guarded by the mighty Raksharaja Jambavan. The king! They are constantly engaged in Bhagavad-bhajana. Man is a devotee of Chiranjeevi and Sriharika in this world by having darshan of that Mahabali Bhagavad Bhakta Jambavan. Thus Mahabali Vishvaksena protects the northern gate from the Aharnis. The king! He is the great heart of Lord Krishna. The king! The mere sight of them makes one grateful. 5-7 | (Dwarkand Chapter 16 to 22)
Outside the fort is the 'Pindaraka Tirtha', listen to its glory. Your Majesty! Listen attentively to the significance of the Pindaraka Tirtha, the remembrance of which absolves one of great sins. Between Mount Raivataka and the sea is the Pindaraka region, which is the gateway to the best pilgrimages and artha-siddhikas among the Tirthas. The king of Vidharaja. In the same tirth, Mahabali Yaduraja performed the ritual of Rajasuya, the king of sacrifices, at the behest of the Supreme Lord Krishna. The king. In that supreme sacrifice of King Ugrasena, all the tirthas were called and those tirthas came from all directions and settled in it. The name of that tirth became 'Pindaraka' as all the tirthas were folded. A person immediately receives the fruits of the Rajasuya Yajna by immersing themselves in it. At the same time, after bathing for three days and observing the fast, one who prays at the feet of Brahmins by giving them gold, that Mahatma is Nardev here - there is no doubt about it. He is blessed with gold, jewels, and fine clothing, heard daily by the Vandijans. Communities of Chandramukhi lanterns live in his service. He is always cheerful and energetic. Its doors are filled with thunderous noises throughout the day and night. He sees Gajraj chirping and horses chirping in his outer and inner courtyards and a crowd of kings hoisting numerous flags over his jewelled palaces. Tortured by the ears of caparisoned elephants, Bhramarmandali adorns the gate manned by her feudal lords. How can one attain the kingdom in this world without having to bathe in the Pindaraka Tirtha and how can even a sinful person attain salvation at the end of life without bathing in that Tirtha? One does not experience shame (kalyana) without bathing in Pindaraka-Tirtha. Karma, Dharma, and Varma (protection) cannot be attained without performing a shran in the Pindaraka Tirtha. Without bathing in the Pindarak Tirtha, a person suffers the pain of separation. The person bathing in it abstains from that suffering or is a typical yogi. A virtuous person who takes a bath in that tirth is endowed with excellent bhogas. Diseases cannot touch it. 8-22 | (Dwarkand Chapter 16 to 22)
Woe to you! Whoever circumambulates Dwaravati in the month of Vaisakh and salutes her, all the siddhis of this world and the Hereafter come into her hands. Even the Vedamaya Chaturmukha Brahma is not able to give the number of merits to one who travels to Dwarka from the full moon of Chaitra to the full moon of Vaisakh and lives daily by the law of tirtha-shran, bhoomishayana, shauchachara, mounavrata, and navanna-khana. Even one who may count the streams of rain may not be able to account for the merit of the journey to Shrikrishnapuri. Just as Ekadashi in dates, Nagaraja Sesha in serpents, Garuda in birds, Mahabharata in history-Puranas, and Devadhideva Yadudeva Deva Vasudeva among gods are the best, similarly, Punyavati Dwaravati is abundant in entire Puris and regions. Ahhh! On the ground floor, the Manohara Kushasthali (Dwarka), the official seat of the Vaikuntha Leela, is adorned by the Puri Yadumandali in a manner similar to that of the cloud garland in the sky. Blessed is this Puri, in which the Supreme Personality of Godhead resides in the form of Chaturvya. He who has given the position of Rajadhiraja to Ugrasena, Shri Krishna Harika is repeatedly saluted. Woe to you! When the Lord reaches His supreme abode, the divine Puri will be submerged by the sea. Only the Sriharika Divine Temple will remain, in which the Lord will reside forever. In the Kali Yuga, the people living there hear daily and continually in the sound of the ocean the words of Lord Krishna: "Whether a Brahmin is a learned man or a learned man, he is my body." 'The one who, being a Brahmin, goes from the seashore into the deep waters, brings from there the image of God, and establishes it, and builds a great temple, that is the Sun directly. Oh dear God! Devotees who have a darshan of the form of Shridvarkanatha in the Kali Yuga receive Vishnupadam, which is also rare for Yogishwaras. The king! This I have described to you of the greatness of Shrikrishnapuri. One who listens to it with devotion and listens to it reaps the fruits of his abode in Dwarka-Puri. 23-34 |
