English translation
To inspire the Gopas to test the divinity of Nandanandana by praising the splendor of Vrishabhanuvara, and to send the precious and numerous pearl necklaces to give the bride of Vrishabhanuvara as a bridegroom for her marriage, and to send Nandaraja an even greater amount of pearl for the bride by the grace of Krishna.
Srinardji says - Rajan! Hearing this from Vrishabhanuvar, all the Vrajas fell silent. All their doubts were removed and there was great wonder in their hearts. 1.
Mahavir! You are the son-in-law of King Bhalandan, the lord of the land of Kanyakubja, and like Kubera, the treasurer. Nowhere in the house of Nandaraja is there such splendor as yours. Nandaraj is a farmer, a cowherd, and a man of humble heart. O Lord! If Nanda's son is truly the most perfect Srihari, let us test Nanda's grandeur in front of everyone. 2 - 8.
Srinardji says - Rajan! Seeing the exquisite mass, Nandaraja was amazed; yet, after some thought, he went to the harem with all his belongings to ask Yashodaji if he had a gemstone equivalent. There Nanda and Yashaswini Yashoda pondered for a long time, but (finally) came to the conclusion that 'there is no other mass equal to this mautika amount in my house. Today, we lost all our pride in the people. There will be laughter all around us. What other money should we give in exchange for this money? What to do? What should be done by us for this marriage of Krishna? First, whatever has come to the bridegroom must be received. Gifts will be sent to the bride when she has the money back. Thinking this, Nanda and Yashodaji came to Bhagwan Aghamardana Shrikrishna absentmindedly. He took a hundred of those precious necklaces out of the house into the fields, one pearl by one with his hand, and scattered them all over the fields, as a farmer scatters grain grains in his fields. Subsequently, when Nanda also started counting the muktamalas, he found them lacking in a hundred. 16-22 | (Girirajkhand Chapter 6 to 11)
Nandaji said, "Hi! At first, there was no other gemstone in my house that had the same amount of runes, but now it has become scarce. Ahhh! There will be great reproach on me among the brothers and sisters on every side. Or if Lord Krishna or Balarama had taken some pearls out of it to play with, then now with humility, I will ask the same two children. 23-24 |
Srinardji says - Rajan! Thinking this way, Nanda also respectfully asked Krishna about the pearls. Then, laughing aloud, Govardhanadhari spoke to Lord Nanda. 25.
The Lord said, "O Baba! We are all cow farmers, who sow all kinds of seeds in the fields; therefore, we have scattered pearl seeds in the fields. 26.
Says Srinardji - Rajan. Hearing this from his son, Vrajeshwar Nanda scolded him and went with him to the fields to pick them all up. There were hundreds of beautiful pearl trees on display, adorned with lush green pallavas and huge in size. O Lord! The trees were adorned with bunches of pearls hanging in clusters, just as the stars adorned the sky. Then Brijeshwar Nandaraja, full of joy, knowing Lord Krishna as God, plucked the same coarse divine pearls from those trees and loaded a load of them on carts and gave them to the groomsmen. Nareshwar. With all that, the wise men went to Vrisha-Bhanuvara and began to describe the unparalleled splendor of the Nanda king while listening to everyone. 27-32 | (Girirajkhand Chapter 6 to 11)
At that time, all the Gopas were very surprised. Knowing that Nanda-Nandana was indeed Srihari, the doubts of all the Vraja-dwellers were removed and they paid obeisance to Vrishabhanuvara. Mithileshwar! From the same day, all the people of Vraja came to know that Sri Radha is the beloved of Sri Hari and Sri Hari is the lifeblood of Sri Radha. The Mithilapates. Where Nandanandan Sriharan had scattered the pearls, 'Mukta-Sarovara' appeared, the king of pilgrimages. Whoever donates even one pearl there will no doubt reap the rewards of a million pearl donations. The king. Thus I described to you the Giriraj-Mahotsav, which is to provide enjoyment and salvation for mankind. Now what else do you want to hear? . 33-37 |
Thus was completed the sixth chapter, 'Srihariki Bhagavata Ka Pariksha', in the Sreenarada Bahulashva-Samvadam under the Srigirirajakhanda in the Srigargasamhita. 6.
