Gopa's Skeptical Dispute About Sri Krishna and Solution by Sreenandaraja and Vrishabhanuvarake

Once upon a time, says Srinardji, all the gopas and gopis saw the wonderful character of Nandananda and went to Nanda with Yashoda. 1.

Gopa said, "O Yashomaya Goparaja! Never before has there been a child born to you who has lifted a mountain. You can't hold a single stone for seven days on your own. Where is the seven-year-old child and his holding of such a great king. This makes us suspicious of this mighty son of yours. Just as Gajraj picked up a lotus and the child took the cow dung and husks in his hands, so did he pick up Giriraj with one hand in a game. 2-4 | Yashode! You are white, and Nandji! You are also golden in color, like gold; but it is born black. Its appearance is completely unlike that of the people of this clan. This child is as if born into a clan of Kshatriyas. Balabhadraji is also extraordinary, but his uniqueness is not without faults; for he was born in the Chandravamsa. If you do not tell the truth, We will excommunicate you. Or tell us how it originated in the Gopa clan? If you don't tell us, you will have a fight with us. 5 - 7. (Girirajkhand Chapter 1 to 5)

Yashodaji trembled with fear on hearing the talk of the gopas, says Srinardji, but this is how Nandaraj spoke to the angry gopas at that time. 8.

Sreenandji said, "Gopagana! I am concentrating on narrating Gargji's words to you, so that your worries and anxieties go away quickly. Listen to the meaning of the letters of the word 'Krishna' first - 'Kakar' is the speaker of Kamalakanta; 'Rikaara' is the speaker of Rama; 'Shakara' is the speaker of Lord Vishnu, the lord of all the six opulence-goods of the white island; 'Nikaara' is the direct Narasimha form; 'Akaara' is the speaker of the letter Purusha, which is also drunk on fire. At the end, there are two dots named 'Visarga', which symbolize the sages' Nara 'and' Narayana '. The Supreme Personality of Godhead in whom these six Absolute Elements are immersed is directly Krishna. It is in this sense that the child is named 'Krishna'. According to the Yuga, its varna has been 'Shuku' in Satyayuga, 'Rakta' in Treta, and 'Yellow' in Dvapara. At this time, at the end of Dwapara and the beginning of Kali Yuga, this child has attained the form of 'Krishna', which is why it is known as Nandanandan 'Krishna'. The five senses and the three types of conscience - mind, intellect, and mind - have been called the "eight senses." Their presiding deity is also famous by the same name. These Vasus are endowed with the form of Lord Krishna, which is why they are called 'Vasudeva'. 9-15 |

She is the direct husband of "Vrishabhanunandini Radha" who appears in Kirtika Bhavan; hence, she is also referred to as "Radhapati." This very Supreme Lord, Shri Krishna, is the Lord of innumerable universes and, though omnipresent, resides in the form of Golok Dham. Oh no! It is they who have appeared as your sons to unload the earth, to slay demons like Kansa, and to follow the devotees. Bharata Vamsi Nanda! This child has infinite names, which are also confidential to the Vedas, and according to its pastimes, many more will be known. Therefore, no wonder it has so many great and wonderful works. The cowards! I never doubt Gargaji's words about my son, because the Vedas and Brahmanas are the proofs on earth. " 16-20 |

Gopa said, "If Mahamuni Gargacharya had come to your house, why did you not invite the siblings to the naming ceremony at the same time?" He quietly performed the naming ceremony of the child in his own house. It is your good practice to do all the work quietly at home. 21-22 |

Srinardji says - Rajan! Having said this, the angry Gopa left the Nanda temple and went to Vrishabhanuvara. Vrishabhanuvar was a direct assistant of Nandaraja, however, Gopa, who was obsessed with the force of caste organization, did not care about it and went to him. 23-24 | (Girirajkhand Chapter 1 to 5)

The Gopas said, "O Vrishabhanuvara! You are the chief and the supreme in our caste. So Gopeshwar Bhupal! You must separate the Nandarajas from the caste. 25.

Vrishabhanuvar said, "What is the fault of Nandaraja, that I should abandon him?" Nandaraja is the beloved of all Gopas, the crown of his caste, and the most beloved of me. 26.

Gopa said, "Rajan! Excellency! If you don't leave Nandaraj, we, the Vrajavas, will leave you. In your house, the bride has become old and worthy of marriage, and you, being the head of our nation and possessing wealth, have not yet given it into the hands of a superior groom; therefore, sin is on you. Your Majesty the King! From this day forward, we will regard you as a despot and separate from us; otherwise, leave Nandaraj soon and leave. 27-29 |

Vrishabhanuvar said, "Gopagana! I am attentive to what Gargji has to say so that your anxiety will soon subside. He explained - "Lokeshvara, the Supreme Lord, the Lord of innumerable universes, has descended as a child into the Nanda Griha. There is no greater boon for Sriradha than this. Prayers to Brahma lead to the incarnation of Lord Krishna on the ground floor to unload Bhumika and slay Kansadis. The daughters of Lord Krishna in Goloka named 'Sriradha' are the ones who have descended into your house in the form of daughters. You do not know that 'Para Devi'. I will not get these two married. Their wedding will take place at Bhandir-Van on the Yamuna. In a beautiful place near Vrindavan uninhabited, Lord Brahma will arrive and solemnize the marriage of Lord Radha and Lord Krishna. So please! You consider Sriradha's Lokachudamani to be the Ardha Swaroop of the Supreme Personality of Godhead Krishna and the Queen of Golokdham. All of you Gopaganas have also come to this earthly abode in Goloka. Similarly, gopis and cows have also come to Gokul from Goloka at the wish of Sriradha. "Having said this, I never had any doubt or doubt about Sriradha from the day Mahamuni Gargacharya left. The Brahmanical text on this ground floor is Vedic in evidence. Goopo! All this mystery I have told you; what more do you want to hear? . 30-39 |

Thus was completed the fifth chapter called 'Gopavidyan' in the Sreenarada Bahulashva-Samvadam under the Srigirirajakhanda in the Srigarghasamhita. 5.
