O Lord! When you leave, how can we maintain our lives, not seeing your attractive face decorated with a pleasing smile, which dries up all miseries with its joyful glances.
Содержание книги
- No one knows the intentions of the Lord who desires to hide himself in human form, who does not show favor or hatred to anyone, and about whom all men have different opinions.
- O soul of the universe! You are unborn and perform no actions, but you take birth and perform activities in the forms of animals, men and aquatics. This is extremely deceptive.
- Some say that you, though unborn, appeared as the son of Vasudeva in Devakī upon their request, in order to protect the world and kill the demons.
- Without your presence who are we, the Pāṇḍavas along with the Yadus with their fame and strength? We are like the senses without the jīva.
- O holder of the club! When you go, this land, marked with the special signs on your feet, will not glow as it does now.
- O brāhmaṇas! Yudhiṣṭhira, thinking of the killing of his friends, overcome with bewilderment arising from affection, due to material thinking, then spoke.
- Because I have killed children, brāhmaṇas, relatives, friends, paternal uncles, cousins, and gurus, I cannot be free from hellish punishments for ten thousand years.
- There is no sin for the king who kills the enemy in a righteous war, protecting the citizens. This rule does not apply to me.
- yudhiṣṭhira-rājya-pralambho nāma
- Having the shelter of brāhmaṇas, dharma and Kṛṣṇa, you should not live your life in suffering since that is dangerous and improper.
- I consider that this, which is unwelcome, has all been done to you by time, which controls the world and its protectors just as the wind controls the clouds.
- O King! No one can understand the plan of Kṛṣṇa because even those engaged in reasoning and scripture are bewildered by that inquiry.
- Bhagavān Kṛṣṇa, the original Nārāyaṇa, the puruṣa, who bewilders the world with his energy, secretly moves in the Yādava family.
- You think of Kṛṣṇa as your cousin, as a dear friend, as your selfless helper, and out of affection made him your counselor, messenger, and charioteer.
- Yudhiṣṭhira, hearing what he had said, then asked Bhīṣma, lying on a bed of arrows, about various dharmas while the sages were listening.
- The ignorant, who were like birds who think that day has been destroyed at the approach of evening, thought that Bhīṣma had attained the brahman, became silent.
- O Śaunaka of the Bhṛgu dynasty! Yudhiṣṭhira had last rites of the departed Bhīṣma performed and became sad for a moment.
- rī-kṛṣṇa-dvārakā-gamanaṁ nāma
- The rivers, oceans, mountains, trees, shrubs, and herbs of that kingdom yielded their products in every season.
- While Yudhiṣṭhira ruled, the living beings suffered no anxieties, sickness or inconveniences caused by nature, other living beings or themselves.
- Looking upon him with unblinking eyes, their hearts melted, they became filled with affection, and moved wherever he moved.
- Mṛdaṅgas, conches, bheris, vīṇas, paṇavas, gomukhas, dhundhuris, ānakas, bells and dundubhis began to sound.
- Acknowledging the words of the women of Hastināpura who had spoken in this way, with smiles and glances, Kṛṣṇa departed.
- Yudhiṣṭhira, worried about enemies, out of affection engaged an army of four parts[40] for the protection of Kṛṣṇa.
- rī-kṛṣṇa-dvārakā-gamanaṁ nāma
- O Lord! When you leave, how can we maintain our lives, not seeing your attractive face decorated with a pleasing smile, which dries up all miseries with its joyful glances.
- The city appeared splendid with lakes surrounded by pleasure gardens and plantations, with groves of pious trees and creepers giving fruit and flowers of all seasons.
- The city was adorned with full water pots, incense, lamps, offerings, yogurt, rice, fruits and sugar cane stalks at the door of every house.
- The actors, dancers, singers, reciters, bards and eulogists sang about the astonishing activities of the Lord.
- Entering the house of his parents, embraced by seven mothers, headed by Devakī, he offered respects with his head to them.
- Hearts trembling with joy, milk flowing from their breasts, they put Kṛṣṇa on their laps, and moistened them with their tears.
- Yudhiṣṭhira, like his father, freed from personal desires by engaging in service to the Lord, satisfied and protected the citizens.
- O son of Bhṛgu! The courageous hero Parīkṣit in the womb of his mother, burned by the heat of the weapon, saw the form of the Lord.
- Yudhiṣṭhira had the brāhmaṇas such as Dhaumya and Kṛpācārya chant auspicious verses such as puṇyāham and perform the birth rites.
- O great souls! Will this son follow our lineage of reputed saintly kings with fame and good praise?
- He is the best of archers like Arjuna and Kārtavīrya, is intolerable as fire and is insurmountable as the ocean.
- He is impartial to all beings like Yudhiṣṭhira, easily satisfied like Śiva, and the shelter of all living beings like Nārāyaṇa.
- O king! Having discerned the truth about the Lord from the son of Vyāsa, giving up his body on the bank of the Gaṅgā, he will certainly attain the Lord.
- atha trayodaśo ’dhyāyaḥ
- Having learned about Kṛṣṇa, the goal of the jīva, from Maitreya while on pilgrimage, Vidura came to Hastināpura with a desire to teach that.
- Agitated by the longing created by separation, they shed tears of love. The king had him accept a seat and worshipped him.
- As you wandered over the earth, what did you do for maintenance? What major holy places did you serve on the earth?
- As long as Yama passed his life for a hundred years as a śudra because of a curse, Aryamā performed his duties of punishing the sinful in an appropriate way.
- O master! The supremely powerful time which no one can stop has approached us all.
- What is the use of life maintained by food given by those whom you tried to burn, poison, whose wife you insulted, and whose land and wealth you stole?
- Therefore, go to the north, somewhere unknown to your relatives. Then time, destroyer of most of man’s qualities, will come.
- Has he thrown himself in the Gaṅgā along with his wife, out of sorrow, with all his children dead, while contemplating my foolish offense?
- When our father Pāṇḍu departed, these two protected all us children, who were their relatives, from dangers. From this place, where have they gone?
- O king! Do not lament for anything, because this world is dependent on the Lord. The Lord to who even the devatās carry offerings joins and separates the living beings.
- Just as the items used in playing are brought together and separated by the will of the player, humans are brought together and separated by the will of the Lord.
TRANSLATION
Offering him gifts like offering a lamp to the sun, faces blossoming in affection, they began to speak with words choked up with joy to Kṛṣṇa, who is always satisfied with his own qualities, who is satisfied with himself, and who is always their friend and protector, like a father protecting his children.
COMMENTARY
They offered gifts (upanītāḥ balayaḥ), which were given out of adoration, though he did not need them, just like a sun worshipper offers a lamp to the sun. They spoke to Kṛṣṇa who was their protector, like a father protecting children. Ātmārāmam (self-satisfied) indicates that he was not dependent on the gifts.
|| 1.11.6 ||
natāḥ sma te nātha sadāṅghri-paṅkajaṁ
viriñca-vairiñcya-surendra-vanditam |
parāyaṇaṁ kṣemam ihecchatāṁ paraṁ
na yatra kālaḥ prabhavet paraḥ prabhuḥ ||
TRANSLATION
O master! We continually offer respects to your lotus feet, the supreme shelter for those desiring the highest benefit, worshipped by Brahmā, the Kumāras, Indra, which cannot be influenced by time, which controls even Brahmā.
COMMENTARY
Vairiñcyāh means the Kumāras. Param parāyaṇam means the supreme shelter. In the shelter of these lotus feet, the master of Brahmā and others (paraḥ prabhuḥ), time, does not have power.
|| 1.11.7 ||
bhavāya nas tvaṁ bhava viśva-bhāvana
tvam eva mātātha suhṛt-patiḥ pitā |
tvaṁ sad-gurur naḥ paramaṁ ca daivataṁ
yasyānuvṛttyā kṛtino babhūvima ||
TRANSLATION
Protector of the universe! Work for our best interests! You alone are our mother, father, friend and master. You are our guru and supreme deity, by following whom we have become successful.
COMMENTARY
Bhavāya means “for welfare.” Medinī says bhavaḥ kṣeme saṁsāre: bhava means welfare and material existence.
|| 1.11.8 ||
aho sanāthā bhavatā sma yad vayaṁ
traiviṣṭapānām api dūra-darśanam |
prema-smita-snigdha-nirīkṣaṇānanaṁ
paśyema rūpaṁ tava sarva-saubhagam ||
TRANSLATION
In you we have found our master. We have become successful, because we can see your form endowed with all good qualities, with a face smiling in love and glancing in affection, which is difficult to see for the devatās.
COMMENTARY
Triaviṣṭapānām means “of the devatās.”
|| 1.11.9 ||
yarhy ambujākṣāpasasāra bho bhavān
kurūn madhūn vātha suhṛd-didṛkṣayā |
tatrābda-koṭi-pratimaḥ kṣaṇo bhaved
raviṁ vinākṣṇor iva nas tavācyuta ||
TRANSLATION
O lotus-eyed Lord! When you go to Hastināpura or Vraja to see your friends, one moment becomes like a trillion years for us, who belong to you, and who become like eyes without the sun.
COMMENTARY
O lotus–eyed Lord! A version which has no bhavān is not accepted. Kurūn means Hastināpura and madhūn means Vraja, not Mathurā, because at that time none of his friends resided there. This is understood from the word “all” in the statement tatra yoga-prabhāvena nītvā sarva-janaṁ hariḥ: the lord by his power of yoga brought all the inhabitants of Mathurā to Dvārakā. (SB 10.50.57) He sent messengers back to the gopīs when he was leaving, saying “I will come back.” (SB 10.39.35) And he sent Nanda back to Vraja saying, “I will come to see you.” (SB 10.45.23) Though it is clearly mentioned in Padma Purāṇa and other Purāṇas that he did return, it can be understood from this verse of Bhāgavatam as well. When you leave, a moment becomes like a trillion years for us (naḥ) who belong to you (tava).

TRANSLATION
|| 1.11.11 ||[44]
iti codīritā vācaḥ prajānāṁ bhakta-vatsalaḥ |
