CHAPTER X
OFFERING ONE’S SERVICE TO SRI KRSNA AS BEFORE, WHILE INITIATED
§ri Vyasa said :—Get initiated on the lunar month of caitra in the dark fortnight by one’s Guru in a sacred place. On the second month from this in the bright fortnight, commence doing service (preliminary) according to his directions. (1) ing in one’r body, the d, while adopting the
Brahmacari, taking japam of the bead
Taking one’s bath and finishing worshipp devotee conversant with the mantras shoul aforesaid method, remain pure, silent, asa meals in the night, tranquil-minded and make composed of lotus seeds. (2)
Should serve the cows, give them their edibles, be kind to all creatures, and should bow down to the Goddess Darga and to the elders and Gurus who destroy the innorance reigning in one’s mind as darkness supreme. (3)
Varnasrama and
Finishing one’s duties as ordained by one’s should perform
making japam of one’s mula mantra, one inaugurating oneself by the water for bathing purposes: He should make japam twentyfour times and secondly seven times for dcamanam (water shipping) purposes ; thus he would become wealthy and happy. (4)
Acamanam—taking a sip of water for rin worship. Purifying oneself by the above method.
Sit onc: on the top of a mountain, on the bank of a river, on the stem of a Vilva tree, within water, on Hriddaghne ? in the heart, in a cowstall, in the pavilion in Visnu temple, at the root of an Aévattha tree, in the city Ayodhya and repeat the ten lettered mantra forty thousand times and the eighteen lettered mantra twenty thousand times. (5—6)
Have with you on the top of the mountains, etc, vegetable

saka, roots, fruits, milk, curd and eatable things and rice and Sakti (powdered and field flour) and milk boiféd with rice and sugar. As to drinking power I advised before once in the afore described service. When this is done, the best devotee should again duly mutter japam to attain success (siddhi), (7)
One should daily cleanse one’s body in the morning ; accepting, then, the second method of initiation, one should worship Sri Krsna in a solitary room, full of devotion, and then eat the remainder of Havan ie., what is duly offered to Fire in Homa ceremony. (8)
The pure minded devotee should offer one lakh bomas, repeating every time the ten lettered mantra ; this is sure to yield imperishable results. (9)
Make japam five lakh times of the eighteen lettered mantra and then make homa 50 (fifty) thousand times. If the devotee be not able to precure payasa (materials rice milk sugar. etc., for payasa) he should perform with homa ghee (clarified butter). (10)
If one be unable to perform homa ceremony according to the above mentioned numbers, he can make japam twelve times. The japam and homa may be as many times as are found in the letters of the mantra. So it is stated. (11)
The Sidra who will make japam according to whichever ° letters of the mantra, suited to him, he will get success in that, if he performs his function, merely with faith and devotion. (12)
The devotee on being inaugurated again by his guru should
give daksina (fees) to him and distribute wealth to the Brahmanas with devotion. (13)
etc., the clear minded devotee of pure character should for three days consecutively worship duly §ri Krsna, who is the giver of mukti (freedom from birth and death). (14)
Then the devotee is to think thus : —that Sri Krsna is situated in the garden, endowed with all beauties and wealth, and is seated

on the padma-pitha (lotus pedestal), emitting lustre of gold and gems, and like the Kalpa vrksa and surrounded by dazzling Ratna sthala (place full of gems). He is of a blue colour, child like, having hairs a little curling on his head, his face like half blewn lotus and with enchanting lotus eyes. (15-16)
On His cheek locks of hair are waving and look beautiful. His nose is lovely ; His face is like lotus, and smiling. On His neck and breast matiy gems and pearls are shining and his nails look like lotuses. (17)
His breast is being illuminated by the musical sound of His flute; His body is decorated with various ornaments. On His waist and shanks the garland of little tinkling bells is hanging. (18)
His gentle and sweet smile is like Bandhali flowers. His hands and feet look very bzautiful ; with His right hand He is holding @ vessel of ny sa (milk boiled with rice and sugar) and His left hand is holding fresh butter. (19)
He is incarnated to take away the burden of the world and to destroy Putana etc., the enemies of the Gods. He is surrounded praised by
by Gopas (milkmen) and Gopis (milkwomen) and He is Indra and other Gods. (20)
The devotee is to worship Sri Krsna with great devotion by means of fresh butter and curds, and mil sugar and praise Him in Indravajra verses. | Thus remember Him and incur His pleasure. (21)
Here ends the Tenth Adhyaya in the Third Night in : Sri Narada Paiicaratra.
