Introduction to Nanda, Upananda and Vrishabhanu and Mridbhakshana-Lila of Krishna
Shrinaradji says - Mithileshwar! Navkanj-lochan Manohar, in the form of Shyam, grew like Krishna Balachandra, wandering through the houses of the Gopanganas and stealing the hearts of the people while playing the game of Makhan Chori. The nine nandas, the gopas, would capture the very agile Sreenandanandan and take him to their home, where they would sit and admire his beauty. They played them with good balls, nurtured them, sang their pastimes, and, absorbed in the increased joy, made the whole world forget. 1-2.
The king asked, "O God! You tell me the names of the nine tributaries. They were all very, very lucky. Provide an introduction to their past lives. Who were the first to descend to this surface? Describe the auspicious deeds of the six bulls along with their tributaries. 3.
One day, on the banks of the Yamuna, Lord Krishna tasted clay. Seeing this, the children came to Yashodaji and said, 'Ari Maiya! Your saliva then eats the soil. 'Balabhadra ji also gave his yes-yes. Then Nandarani took hold of her son's hand. The boy's eyes widened in terror. Maianne said to him. 13-14 |
Yashodaji asked, "O great fool! Why did you eat the soil? These friends of yours are also telling and even the elder brother Balram says the same thing that 'Maa! Even when it is refused, it does not give up eating clay. It finds the soil very sweet. " 15.
The Lord said, "O Mother! All these children are lying all the time. I did not eat any clay anywhere. If you don't believe me, look at my face. 16.
Srinardji says - Rajan! Then Gopi Yashoda opened the child's beautiful face and saw. Yashoda saw within him the universe, composed and pervaded by the three gunas. Yashoda also saw his body in his son's face, including the seven islands, the seven seas, India, etc., the strong mountains, the three worlds up to Brahma-loka, and all the celestial bodies. Seeing this, she closed her eyes and sat on the banks of Shriyamunaji and thought - 'This is my child, Shri Narayan. 'That is how she became enlightened. It was then that Krishna began to laugh at him, captivating him with his delusions. Yashodaji's memory was lost. She immediately forgot all the glory that she had seen of Lord Krishna. 17-20 |
Thus was completed the eighteenth chapter of the Narada Bahulashva-Samvada under the Golokhanda in the Srigarghasamhita, called the "Cosmic Philosophy." 18.
