English translation

Naradji's anecdote in the context so that the liquid form of Krishna

Radha said, "Madhava! Blessed is this Sage, who was your great devotee and great lover. They got your likeness and you also shed tears for them. The Papanasan Now you should also cremate their bodies. This body of his is still being illuminated in a pure form by the effect of penance. 1-2.

Naradji says - Rajan. There, Sriradha was saying that Munika's body turned into a river. The Papanasini river, which flows over Rohithachal, is still seen today. Radha was even more amazed to see her body transformed into a river. Then he spoke to Vrishabhanuvaranandini Nandarajakumar as follows. 3-4. Radha said, "Shyamsundar." How did this magnificent body transform into the form of water? Oh God! Mayst thou wipe out this doubt of mine completely. 5.

The Lord said, "Rambhoru! These Munishwaras were united by love, symbolism, and devotion, which is why this body of theirs is derived from fluidity. Mahamuni Ribhu was very happy to see you come with me to give me a boon, so his hair turned into water, just as I had received the liquid form before. 6 - 7.

Sri Radha asked, "Devadeva! Oh my goodness! How did you come to have the fluids? This seems very strange to me, you explain everything in detail. 8. (Mathurukund Chapter 21 to 25)

The Lord said, "Those who have knowledge of this subject narrate this ancient history, by the mere hearing of which sins are completely destroyed." 9.

In the past, Prajapati Brahma appeared from my navel - lotus and started creating the Prakrit world. He remained powerful through his penance and my boon. Once upon a time, Naradji, the beautiful son of the creator Brahma, was born. They went on their journey around the world chanting my names and verses, enraged by my devotion. One day, Prajapati Brahma said to Narada - "Mahamate! Stop wandering around in this nonsense and create people. Hearing him, Narada, the guide of knowledge, said thus: 'Father! I will not create, for she is the giver of sorrows. I will sing hymns and worship the names of Sriharike. You, too, are deeply distressed by this business of creation, so you too must leave creation. " 10-14 |

Hearing this, Brahma's eyes trembled with fury. They cursed him with wrath and said, 'Wretched! May you be a Kalpataka, a Gandharva always engaged in singing and playing. 'Sriradhe! Thus, under the curse of Brahma, Naradji became a Gandharva named Upavarhana. He held the position of Gandharva Raja in a Kalpataka pantheon. One day, surrounded by women, they went to the world of Brahma. She sang wildly because she was attracted to the beauties there. Then Brahma cursed again, saying, "Evil! You become a Shudra. 'So by the curse of Brahma, he became the son of a maid. Radhe! Then Narada attained Brahmaputra through the influence of Satsanga. Then, again, in a frenzy of devotion, he wandered on the ground floor, singing and chanting my verses. Munindra Narada is the best of the Vaishnavas, my dear and the sun of knowledge. He is the Supreme Personality of Godhead and is always mindful of Me. 15-20 | (Mathurukund Chapter 21 to 25)

One day, while visiting different worlds, the singing-spirited Narada, whose speed is everywhere, went to Ilavritkhand, where dear! The black coloured Jamboon river manifested by the juice of Jambu fruit flows and produces gold called Jamboonad. There is a town named 'Vednagar' in that country with jewelled palaces and full of divine men and women, which Yogi Narada saw. Many people there had no legs, no hips, and no knees. Many people also lacked a thigh or pubic section. They were handicapped and malnourished, and many had groin protrusion in the middle of the back, fallen or loosened teeth, high shoulders, an arched mouth, and no neck at all. Thus Narada saw the mutilation of the women and men there. Seeing them all, Muni said, 'Ah! What is this thing? It all seems to be a little strange. All of you have lotus-like faces, divine bodies, and fine clothes. You are a deity or a sub-deity or a great sage. All of you are with the bajos and engaged in singing the delightful song. Tell me quickly how you broke down. 'They all spoke humbly when they were asked thus. 21-28 |

The ragas said, "Munna! A great deal of grief has been created in our bodies by itself. But all this must be said in front of him, who can drive him away. Oh dear! We are ragas and live in Vedapura. Honourable! Listen; Hiranyagarbha Brahma has a son named Narada. He wanders this earth singing the timeless Dhruvapada, madly in love with Mahamuni. His timeless songs, devoid of rhythm and melody, have left us all paralyzed. 29-32 |

Hearing this, Naradji was greatly astonished. His pride vanished, and he spoke in ragged laughter. 33.

The sage said, "Ragagana! Tell it to me quickly. How could Nardamuniko have knowledge of tala and talaka, so that he could sing melodious songs? 34.

The ragas said, "If the chief Saraswati Devi, one of Vaikunthanatha's beloved sisters, can teach Narada music, the sages will know at what time and with what beat he should sing." 35.

Hearing this, Dinavatsala immediately went to Subhragiri to seek the grace of Narada Saraswati. There he performed continuous and extremely hard penance for a hundred divine years. Vrajeshwari! He had left food and water to concentrate only on Saraswati. It was through Naradji's penance that the mountain became famous as' Naradagiri ', dropping its' Shubhra 'name. All that mountain became holy through his penance. Upon the conclusion of the penance, the presiding deity Vishnupriya Sri Saraswati came there. Narada saw the divine goddess. Seeing this, he suddenly stood up, saluted her, and bowed in circumambulation, praising the form, virtues, and sweetness of the goddess Munishwara Saraswati. 36-40 |

Naradji said, "I bow to Goddess Saraswati with a face brighter than the many moons that adorn the radiant rays of the new sun, the gilded earrings, the cayyurs, the crowns, and the kankans, which are colored by the twinkling and twinkling rays." I bow to Goddess Saraswati, the lucky one who sits on a flying kalhansa with fluffy legs and chajhuputas and wears many garlands of pure pearls. I bow to Goddess Jagannathmayi, Brahmamayi, Shubhada, and Manohara Saraswati, who hold in her two immaculate hands the groom, the abhaya, the book, and the excellent veena, respectively, in both her sides. Saraswati is a very auspicious person who wears a white wavy silk sari. Grant me the knowledge of swara-tala, so that I may become the supreme and unique musician in the indestructible and supreme rasam-mandala. 41-44 | (Mathurukund Chapter 21 to 25)

The Lord says - Shriradeh! This Naradakota divine hymn of Saraswati is inestimable. Whoever wakes up in the morning and recites it will be enlightened in this world. The pleased Vagadeva then presented Mahatma Narada with a veena adorned with the Bhagavathapradatta swarabrahma. At the same time, Raga-Ragini, his son, also gave knowledge of the distinctions and tala, laya, and swaras of Deshakaladikarta. Naradji was endowed with the knowledge of fifty-six different types of villages and innumerable variations, dances, musical instruments, and beautiful sculptures. Saraswati Devi, the chief of the Vaikunthapathikis, imparted musical education to Naradji through swaragamya siddhapadas. Radhe! Vishnuvallabha Vagdevi moved to Vaikuntha Dham, making Narada the unique ragodbhava suitable for the Rasamandala. 45-50 |

Thus was completed the twenty-eighth chapter in the Narada Bahulashva-samvada under the Srimathurakhanda in the Srigarghasamhita, named 'Nardopakhyan'. 21.
