Description of the Glory of the Devotee-Saint
Srivyasji spoke - who repeatedly rejoiced in the sky, air, water, fire, earth, and planets - constellations and stars, glimpsing Lord Krishna, enchanting millions of Kamadevas - the radhanayaka Sarvatman Nandanandan Srikrishnachandra begins to appear, speaking in front of those devotees. They are filled with immense joy and laughter as they have darshan of that God in the form of eternal bliss. They sometimes talk and sometimes they run. Sometimes they sing, sometimes they dance, and sometimes they keep quiet. They are excellent devotees of Lord Vishnu. They are manifestations of the god Krishna himself. The mere sight of them makes one grateful. Neither Kaala nor Yamaraja is able to punish them. To the left of such devotees is the Kaumodaki mace, to the south is the Sudarshan Chakra, to the front is the Sharanga bow, to the rear is the Panchajanya conch roaring like a cloud, the great sword named Nandana, the shield called Shatachandra, and many sharp arrows - all these principal weapons of the Lord keep them alert and protected day and night. In the same way, the great lotus repeatedly poses to cast a shadow over them. The air of Garudji's wings carries away the labor of those saints. Wherever these aforementioned Mahatma men go, Srihari himself arrives and makes the land a pilgrimage with the pollen of his graceful lotus feet. Where the saints stay even for a moment, the Tithonaka takes up residence. If a sinner also dies at that place, then he attains the supreme position of Lord Vishnu. The demons, ghosts, ghosts, and vampires flee in ten directions, seeing from afar those whom Lord Krishna desires. Rivers, rivers, mountains, seas and other disturbances also give way to men as unexpected ascetics. It is extremely difficult for virtuous human beings to see great men who are sadhus, who are devoted to knowledge, who are devoid of subjects, who do not have enmity with anyone in the world. The clan in which the devotee of Lord Krishna is born, even if the clan itself is filthy, you consider the material of the Brahmin lineage to be very pure. The king! A devotee of Lord Krishna gives strings to ten men of his paternal family. Not only this, ten generations of his maternal family and wife family are also freed from the bondage of hell torment and sins. Men's relatives, pets, servants, courtesans, enemies, load bearers, house birds, ants, mosquitoes, and insects all become holy. Deveshwar is a devotee of Lord Krishna, who purifies people even in a land that is not suitable for a Brahmin to live in and in which the blackbuck is not seen, or in the land of Saubir, Kikat, Magadha, and Mlechchha. The king! Saints who are related to men go to the temple (dham) of Lord Srihari despite being prohibited from Jnana Yoga, Dharma, Tirtha and Yajna. This is how I glorified the devotees of Lord Krishna. Its description makes all four substances available to humans. What do you want to hear next? . 1-20 | (Shri VigyanKhand Chapter 1 to 5)
King Ugrasena asked - Lord Srikrishnachandra is the true Supreme Being. It has been heard that the light of the darkening of the teeth was absorbed in them. Wow! It is a matter of great wonder; for how did the office of sayujya, which Mahatma men deserved, become accessible to any other ordinary person, and that too to an enemy? . 21-22 |
Srivyasji said, "Rajan! 'This is mine, and this is I '- this anomaly dwells in the threefold beings; for they are absorbed by the lusts and wraths. There is no such feeling in the Supreme Lord Srihari. Whoever applies his mind to God in any sense, gets Srihariki svarupata - just like how a worm turns into a beetle. Even without the means of Samkhya yoga, humans attain trance in God by possessing feelings of affection, lust, fear, anger, unity, and amity. The king! Others, such as Nanda Yashoda Adina and Vasudeva, attained God through love and the gopis through lust, and not Brahman. The reason is that he was fond of the form, quality and sweetness of God. Your son Kansa received his blessings out of fear. By the anger of this dentist and others like Shishupala, by the spirit of unity and harmony of all of you Yadavas, and by the benevolence of us, God has become accessible. Therefore, one should concentrate on Lord Krishna by any means. Reminding night and day - this is only possible for the enemy; nowhere else. This is the reason why demons have enmity with Lord Srihari. 23-29 |
