jagad-gurur yāni jagāda kṛṣṇaḥ
Содержание книги
- I offer continual respects to the Lord with all auspicious qualities, whose glorification, remembrance, deity form, topics and worship immediately destroy the impurities of man.
- O King! Brahmā, filled with the Vedas, taught this knowledge, which the Lord had directly spoke to him, to Nārada who asked about it.
- Nārada said: O lord of lords! O creator of the living beings! O first born! You know that knowledge which reveals the truth about the ātmā and Paramātmā.
- Situated in your own energy like a spider creating his web, without fatigue, you protect the living beings within yourself, without being destroyed.
- Though you are like this, you performed great austerities. By this you bewilder us. You produce a doubt that there is some other Lord.
- O son! What you say about me is not untrue, because people, not knowing the difference between me and the Lord say that I have that power.
- I meditate on the Supreme Lord Vāsudeva, by whose insurmountable māyā people call me the guru of the universe.
- I am created by him. Inspired by the Lord’s glance, I create what is already created by the Lord -- the witness, the soul situated in all beings.
- Second Description of the Universal Form: Vibhūtis of the Lord
- From his body hairs arose all trees by which sacrifice is performed. From his hair and beard arose clouds and from his nails arose lightning, minerals and metals.
- brahma-nārada-saṁvādaḥ
- Parīkṣit’s Questions
- Please describe the various yugas, their durations, their dharmas, and the astonishing activities of the yugāvatāras of the Lord.
- O Brahmā! All auspiciousness to you! Please ask your desired benediction from me, who can award all benedictions. Endeavors in the process of bhakti end in seeing me.
- Brahmā said: O Supreme Lord! You, the controller of all beings, are situated in their intelligence. You know what all beings desire to do by unimpaired intelligence.
- Follow my instructions in detail, with extreme concentration. You will not be bewildered at any time during your lifetime and its subdivisions.
- Ten Characteristics of a Purāṇa
- a-kathā refers to descriptions of the Lord’s avatāras and their devotees, filled with various stories.
- When the pure puruṣa, separating himself from the universe, remained outside, desiring a place to lie down in the universe, he created the pure waters of the Garbhodaka.
- The wise do not accept these two forms of the Lord described by me since they are composed of matter.
- The Lord has been described in many scriptures as the creator of the universe. Some pure devotees however do not see him only as the creator of the universe.
- Sūta said: I will explain to you what the great sage Śukadeva spoke in response to Parīkṣit when asked by Parīkṣit. Please listen.

Duryodhana, whose piety had been destroyed, did not give respect to the sweet words that Kṛṣṇa, guru of the universe, sent by Yudhiṣṭhira, spoke to the men in the Kuru assembly.
Puṁsām refers to Bhīṣma and others who were present in the assembly. Dhṛtarāṣṭra or Duryodhana did not greatly respect those words. The reason is that he had lost all piety. He did not lose the piety for keeping happiness, fame or wealth, but lost the piety to rule the kingdom.
|| 3.1.10 ||
yadopahūto bhavanaṁ praviṣṭo
mantrāya pṛṣṭaḥ kila pūrvajena
athāha tan mantra-dṛśāṁ varīyān
yan mantriṇo vaidurikaṁ vadanti
Vidura, the supreme adviser, whose wise counsel the wise even today call “advice of Vidura,” called by Dhṛtarāṣṭra for advice, then entered his house and spoke.
Vidura’s humiliation by Duryodhana is described in the following six verses. Because Vidura gave wise advice even today good advice is called “words of Vidura.”
|| 3.1.11 ||
ajāta-śatroḥ pratiyaccha dāyaṁ
titikṣato durviṣahaṁ tavāgaḥ
sahānujo yatra vṛkodarāhiḥ
śvasan ruṣā yat tvam alaṁ bibheṣi
“Give the rightful portion of the kingdom to Yudhiṣṭhira, who has tolerated your intolerable aggression-- because of which, Bhīma, along with his brothers, remains breathing heavily in anger at your offenses. This gives you fear.
Because of the offenses (yatra) Bhīma breathes heavily in anger, because of which you are in great (alam) fear.
|| 3.1.12 ||
pārthāṁs tu devo bhagavān mukundo
gṛhītavān sakṣiti-deva-devaḥ
āste sva-puryāṁ yadu-deva-devo
vinirjitāśeṣa-nṛdeva-devaḥ
“The Supreme Lord Kṛṣṇa, supported by brāhmaṇas and the devatās, strongest among the best of the Yadus, who has defeated innumerable kings, resides in his own city of Dvārakā and has accepted the Pāṇḍavas as himself.
Hear about other aspects of their even greater power that they have accrued now. Kṛṣṇa is worshipable (deva) because he is the Supreme Lord (bhagavān¸ along with whom reside the brāhmaṇas (kṣiti-deva) and the devatās. The brāhmaṇas and devatās are on his side. He resides in his own city of Dvārakā, not in any other place. He is the strength of the best of the Yadus. Where he exists, the Yadus are most powerful. Here about his strength. he has defeated unlimited kings. Starting from his childhood he defeated Kaṁsa, Jarāsandha and even devatās such as Brahmā, Indra, Varuṇa and Śiva. If you desire your own good, then give a share of the kingdom to the Pāṇḍavas.
