Shaunaka-Garga-Samvada; Naradji's depiction of the Avatar-Difference when asked by King Bahulashvaka
Narayanam Namaskritya Naram Saiva Narottamam. The goddess Saraswati is Vyasa, and she is Jayamudirayate. . Sharadvikachapankajasriyamativavidyasarthanam Milinda Munisevitam Kulishakanj symbolized Kulishakanj. Sphuratkanakanupuram Dalit Bhaktata Patrayam Chaladyutipada Dudi Dadhami Radhapata: . Vadanakamalniryad, whose pus is usually drunk, is found in the foothills. Badvanvihara: Satyavati: Kumara: Pranataduritahar: Shargadhanvavatarah. .
After saluting Lord Narayana, Narashrestha Nara, Goddess Saraswati, and Maharishi Vyasa, one should recite Jai (complete history-purana from the victory-gatha of Srihari). I hold in my heart the twin lotuses of Lord Sri Radhakanta, which are extremely demeaning to the splendor of the blooming lotuses of autumn, consumed constantly by the sage-like illusions, which are adorned with symbols like Vajra and Lotus, in which golden spikes are shining and which have always destroyed the threefold heat of the devotees and from which the divine light is radiating. May Satyavati Kumar Srivyasji, the incarnation of Lord Vishnu, protect my speech, who is wandering in Badrinath, who is able to beat the heat of the people, from whose mouth, lotus, the primordial figure of Sudha always drinks, free him from guilt. " 1-3.
Once upon a time, Gyanishiromani Paramatejaswi Munivar Gargaji, the Sun of Yoga Shastra, came to Naimisharanya to meet Shaunakji. On seeing him, Shaunkaji, along with the sages, suddenly stood up and worshipped him ritually with rituals like Padya. 4-5. (Golok Khand Chapters 1 to 5)
Shaunakji said, "Blessed is the wandering of the saints; for he is said to give peace to the householder." It is the Mahatma, not the Sun, who destroys the inner darkness of human beings. Oh my goodness! I am curious about the different types of God's incarnations. You please sort it out. . 6 - 7.
Srijankaji said, "O Lord! How does the God who is eternal, transcendent of nature and not only the transcendent of all, the soul, possess the body? (How can one who is ubiquitous be disconnected from the body? ) Please tell me this. 12. (Golok Khand Chapters 1 to 5)
Narada said, "To protect cows, sadhus, gods, Brahmins and Vedas, directly Lord Srihari wears the body of his pastime." [It is through their inconceivable playfulness that they remain wide-ranging, even though they are physical. That body of his is not Prakrit, but Chinmaya. ] Just as the actor is not captivated by his own delusion and others are captivated, so other beings are captivated by God's grace, but the Supreme Being is beyond us - there is not the slightest doubt. . 13-14. .
Srijankaji asked - Munivar! How many types of avatars does Lord Vishnu have for the protection of saints? Please do let me know. . 15.
Srinardji said, "Rajan! Sages like Vyasa have described six types of avatars - fraction, fraction, impulse, art, absolute and the most perfect. The sixth-perfectest of these avatars is directly Lord Krishna himself. Pepper has been called "Anshashavatara," Brahma as "Anshavatara," Kapila and Kurma as "Kalavatara," and Parashurama as "Avashavatara." Narasimha, Rama, Svetadvipadhipati Hari, Vaikuntha, Yajna, and Nara-Narayana - these are the 'Purnavatara' and Lord Krishna himself is the 'Absolute' avatar. He, the Lord of innumerable universes, resides in Golokdham. Those who follow the authority of God's given creations, etc., are part and parcel of Brahma, etc., the 'Sat' (true God). Those who share the charge of those passages are known as Anshanshavatara. The Most Wise King! Lord Vishnu himself, in whose conscience he resides, performs the desired task and then separates, King! Treat such diverse avatars as' avatars'. Those avatars of God who appear in each Yuga, know the Yugadharma, establish it, disappear again, are called 'Kalavatar'. Where there are four manifestations - such as Sri Rama, Lakshmana, Bharata and Shatrughna and Vasudeva, Sankarshana, Pradyumna and Aniruddha, and where the manifestation of the nine rasas is seen and where the culmination of strength and valor is also visible, that avatar of God is called 'Purnavatara'. The Supreme Personality of Godhead describes that personification of God in whose own radiance all other radiance merges, as the "Absolute." The avatar in which the perfect trait of Purna is visible and which humans view as their most cherished form according to different moods is the true 'most perfect' avatar. The most perfect Lord [endowed with all these attributes] is Himself, not the other; for Krishna has incarnated for the purpose of one work and accomplished millions of other works. I seek refuge in Lord Srikrishnachandra, who is the Supreme Personality of Godhead, the Supreme Personality of Godhead. * Hearing this, the king was filled with joy. There was a sense of excitement in his body. They fell in love and said this to Narada, wiping his eyes with tears. 16-28 | (Golok Khand Chapters 1 to 5)
King Bahulashva asked - "Maharshi! What is the reason for the fact that the most perfect Lord Shrikrushna Chandra descends from the omnipresent celestial sphere and resides in Dwarkapuri in India? O Brahman! Describe the beautiful Brihat (huge or Brahma form) Golokdham of Lord Krishna. Dear Sir! Also, please mention their irrational actions. When a person attains the privilege of Satsang as a result of a pilgrimage and a hundred years of excellent penance, he quickly attains Lord Krishna Chandra. When will I be filled with devotion and become a slave to Lord Krishna? How can Lord Krishna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, be in front of my eyes, which is also rare for the entire pantheon? *. 29-32 |
Thus was completed the first chapter in the Narada Bahulashva-Samvad under the Golokhanda in the Srigarghasamhita, titled 'Description of Sri Krishna Mahatya'. 1.
