English translation

Allowing the Gopas of Sannanda to walk in the Vrindavan from the Mahavana and describing the most important of the celestial bodies.

Mangalacharan Krishnatire Kokilakelikere Gunjapunje Devapushpadikunj. May Kambugrivu Kshiftabahu be in good health and may Radhakrishna be in good health. 1. On the banks of Shriyamunaji, where kokilas and kridashukas roam, I am blessed by my beloved Shri Radha-Krishna, adorned with beautiful conch-like necks and walking with arms around each other. 1.

Ignorance Ignorance is the process of acquiring knowledge. Yen Tasami Srigurave Namah in the form of an eye. 2. I was blinded by the darkness of ignorance; I bow to the Lord who has opened my eyes to the glory of knowledge. 2.

Srinardji says - Rajan! Once upon a time, seeing the various disturbances in Vraja, Nandaraja summoned his assistants Nandas, Upanadas, Vrishabhanus, Vrishabhanus, and other senior gopas to the assembly and asked them. 3.

Nanda said, "Gopagana! There is a lot going on in the Mahavanamsa. Tell us what we should do at this time. 4. (Vrindavan Khand Chapter 1 to 5)

On hearing this, Sannandana, the old man with a special spell, took Balarama and Krishna to Nandaraja and told him to take the pots. 5.

Nanda asked, "Sannandaji, the best of the wise!" How far is Vrindavan from this Vraja? How extensive is the forest, what characterizes it, and what pleasures are accessible there? Tell me all about it. 10.

Sannanda Bole-Bahishatse refers to the lands south of Ishanakona, Yadupura, and west of Shonpur as' Mathur-Mandal '. The twenty-and-a-half yojana wide tract within Mathuramandala has been described as' Divya Mathur-mandala 'or' Vraja 'by the wise men. Once I was staying at Vasudevji's house in Mathurapuri; I had heard from Shri Gargacharya ji that the Tirtha king Prayag had also worshipped this divine Mathura-mandala. While there are many forests in Mathura, the best is a forest called 'Vrindavan', which is a playground that captivates even the most perfect God. There has neither been nor will be another world beyond Vaikuntha. There is only one 'Vrindavan', which is also transcendent (supreme superior) to Vaikuntha. Where Giriraj, popularly known as' Govardhan ', is seated, where on the banks of Kalindi is the Mangaldham Pulin, where is the Brihatsanu (Barsana) mountain, and where Nandishwar Giri adorns, which is situated in an expanse of twenty-four kos and is surrounded by vast canyons; which is beneficial for animals, useful for gopis, and cows, and covered with lathakunjas, the enchanting forest is remembered as' Vrindavan '. 11-18.

Nandaji asked - "Sannandaji! I would like to know when the Tirtha king Prayaga has worshipped this Vraja. I'm so excited to hear this. 19.

Sannanda said, "Nandaraj! In the past, a great demon known as Shankhasura appeared during a cataclysmic event. That Vedadrohi daitya king, having conquered all the gods, went to Brahmaloka and there, while sleeping, stole the book of Vedas from Brahma and went into the sea. As soon as the Vedas were gone, all the strength of the gods was gone. Then the complete Lord Yajñeshvara Sriharina took the form of Matsya and fought with that Shankhasura in the sea of sudden doom. The Mahabali demon Shankhena fired a spear at Srihari. But Saptashri Hari cut the reed into hundreds of pieces with his wheel. Shankha then struck Lord Vishnu in the chest with his head. But that blow from him did not deter Srihari the Most High. At that time, Srihari, a fisherman, with a mace in his hand, struck the demon in the form of a Mahabali conch on his back. He suffered so much from the hit of the donkey that his mind was a little disturbed; but again, he rose up and punched Sarveswara Sriharika. Then Kamalnayan, in a fit of rage, cut off the strong head of Lord Vishnu with his chakra with a horn. Vrajeshwar! Thus, after conquering Shankha, the omnipresent Sri Hari with the gods came to Prayag and gave the four Vedas to Brahma. Then he, along with the entire pantheon, performed the ritual sacrifice and called upon the presiding deity of Prayag Tirtha to anoint him to the position of 'Tirtha Raja'. Directly Akshayvat was made a lila-chhatra for the Tirtha king. Munikanya Ganga and Suryasuta Yamuna began to serve him with their wave-shaped skins. At the same time, all the Tirthas of Jambudvipa came to the wise Tirtha king with offerings and after worshipping and saluting him, those Tirthas went to their respective places. Oh no! When Srihari also left with the gods, Kalabhapriya Munindra Naradaji arrived and spoke to the radiant Tirtha king on the throne. 20 - 33. . (Vrindavan Khand Chapter 1 to 5)

Sannanda says that after saying this, directly Devarshi - Shiromani Naradji left from there. Then the Tirtha king was very angry and went to Sriharike Loka at that very moment. Surrounded by the entire tirtha, the Tirtharajas bowed to Sriharika and circumambulated him, stood before the Lord with folded hands and spoke to Srinatha. . 36-37. .

The Tirtha king said, "Devadeva! I have come to your service because you made me a 'Tirtha Raja' and offered me all the Tirthas, but the Tirthas of Mathuramandala have not come to me; they have despised me. Therefore I have come to your temple to tell you this. . 38-39 |

The Lord said, "I have certainly made you the King of all the Tirthas of the earth - the 'Tirtha Raja'; but you have also made yourself the King of your own household, this has not happened!" Then how are you talking like a gentleman with the desire to take control of my house? The King of Tirtha! Go to your house and hear this good word of mine. Mathuramandala is my true supreme abode, transcending the Triloki. Even in the time of the Holocaust, that sanctuary is not destroyed. 40-42 |

Hearing this, Tirtharaja was greatly astonished, says Sannanda. All their pride was gone. From there, he made his debut by worshipping and circumambulating the Vrajmandala of Mathura. The constellation was first shown to defy the Earth. I have said all these things to you, what more do you want to hear? . 43-44 |

Nandaji asked - Gopeshwar! Tell me who first showed this celestial body to defame the earth. 45.

Sannanda said that it was in this Varahakalpa that Sri Hari first took the form of Varaha and lifted the earth from the abyss on his molars. At that time, the lord had great glory. As he went into the water, he spoke to Lord Ramanath Janardhana, the Varaharupa, the earth adorned on the tip of his trunk. . 46-47 |

The earth asked, "O Lord! The whole world looks like it is full of water. So tell me, at what place will you set me up? . 48. (Vrindavan Khand Chapter 1 to 5)

Lord Varaha said - When the trees begin to appear and the spirit of tension appears in the water, then you will be established in that place. You look at the trees. 49.

The earth said, "O God! I am the one who created the immovable. Is there any other religion as well? I am the only one who has a sense of belonging. . . 50.

Sannandji says that while saying this, Prithvi saw the beautiful trees in the water in front of him. The pride of the earth was taken away when she saw them, and she said to the Lord, 'God! At what place do these Pallava-like trees exist? This scene is causing a lot of surprise in my mind. Yajna peeta! O Lord! Tell me the secret of it. " . 51-52 |

The Lord Varaha said, "Nithambini! It shows the divine 'Mathur-mandala' in front, which is connected to the earth of Goloka. It is also not destroyed during the Holocaust. . 53. .

The earth was astonished when it heard this, said Sannanda. She was filled with a sense of vanity. Therefore, Mahābahu Nanda! This celestial body is more important than all the worlds. Hearing this significance of Vraja, a person becomes liberated from life. You may also consider 'Mathur-Vrajmandal' superior to Tirthraj Prayag. . 54-55 |

Thus was completed the first chapter in the Nanda-Sannanda-Samvad under the Sri Vrindavan Khanda in the Srigarghasamhita, titled 'Description of the Industry of Arrival in Vrindavan'. 1.
