- The Advent of Lord Kṛṣṇa
- Once when mother earth was overburdened by hundreds of thousands of military phalanxes of various conceited demons dressed like kings, she approached Lord Brahmā for relief.
- Mother earth assumed the form of a cow. Very much distressed, with tears in her eyes, she appeared before Lord Brahmā and told him about her misfortune.
- O great hero, one who takes birth is sure to die; for death is born with the body. One may die today or after hundreds of years, but death is sure for every living entity.
- After thus considering the matter as far as his knowledge would allow, Vasudeva submitted his proposal to the sinful Kaṁsa with great respect.
- Vasudeva agreed and took his child back home, but because Kaṁsa had no character and no self-control, Vasudeva knew that he could not rely on Kaṁsa’s word.
- By sacrifices of animals, ordinary human beings will worship you gorgeously, with various paraphernalia, because you are supreme in fulfilling the material desires of everyone.
- The Birth of Lord Kṛṣṇa
- When both of you were ordered by Lord Brahmā to create progeny, you first underwent severe austerities by controlling your senses.
- Thus you spent twelve thousand celestial years performing difficult activities of tapasya in consciousness of Me [Kṛṣṇa consciousness].
- After you received that benediction and I disappeared, you engaged yourselves in sex to have a son like Me, and I fulfilled your desire.
- O supremely chaste mother, I, the same personality, have now appeared of you both as your son for the third time. Take My words as the truth.
- Vasudeva placed the female child on the bed of Devakī, bound his legs with the iron shackles, and thus remained there as before.
- Exhausted by the labor of childbirth, Yaśodā was overwhelmed with sleep and unable to understand what kind of child had been born to her.
- The Atrocities of King Kaṁsa
- Alas, my sister! Alas, my brother-in-law! I am indeed so sinful that exactly like a man-eater [Rākṣasa] who eats his own child, I have killed so many sons born of you.
- Alas, not only human beings but sometimes even providence lies. And I am so sinful that I believed the omen of providence and killed so many of my sister’s children.
- After hearing their master’s statement, the envious asuras, who were enemies of the demigods and were not very expert in their dealings, advised Kaṁsa as follows.
- The demigods always fear the sound of your bowstring. They are constantly in anxiety, afraid of fighting. Therefore, what can they do by their endeavors to harm you?
- My dear King, when a man persecutes great souls, all his benedictions of longevity, beauty, fame, religion, blessings and promotion to higher planets will be destroyed.
- The Meeting of Nanda Mahārāja and Vasudeva
- My dear brother Nanda Mahārāja, at an advanced age you had no son at all and were hopeless of having one. Therefore, that you now have a son is a sign of great fortune.
- Killing the Demon Pūtanā
- While Nanda Mahārāja was returning to Gokula, the same fierce
- The Killing of the Demon Tṛṇāvarta
- For a moment, the whole pasturing ground was overcast with dense darkness from the dust storm, and mother Yaśodā was unable to find her son where she had placed Him.
- Because of the bits of sand thrown about by Tṛṇāvarta, people could not see themselves or anyone else, and thus they were illusioned and disturbed.
- When mother Yaśodā saw the whole universe within the mouth of her child, her heart began to throb, and in astonishment she wanted to close her restless eyes.
- Lord Kṛṣṇa Shows the Universal Form Within His Mouth
- For many reasons, this beautiful son of yours sometimes appeared previously as the son of Vasudeva. Therefore, those who are learned sometimes call this child Vāsudeva.
- For this son of yours there are many forms and names according to His transcendental qualities and activities. These are known to me, but people in general do not understand them.
- Mother Yaśodā Binds Lord Kṛṣṇa
- Deliverance of the Yamala-arjuna Trees
- Having thus spoken, Kṛṣṇa soon entered between the two arjuna trees, and thus the big mortar to which He was bound turned crosswise and stuck between them.
- O Lord, You exist before the creation. Therefore, who, trapped by a body of material qualities in this material world, can understand You?
TRANSLATION
Being husband and wife but always sonless, you were attracted by sexual desires, for by the influence of devamāyā, transcendental love, you wanted to have Me as your son. Therefore you never desired to be liberated from this material world.
commentary
māyayā: refers to Devakī and Vasudeva’s affection for their son. Śrīmad Bhāgavatam (10.8.43) says: vaiṣṇavīṁ vyatanon māyām, putra-snehamayīṁ vibhuḥ, “By the influence of His internal potency, yogamāyā, Kṛṣṇa inspired mother Yaśodā to become absorbed in intense maternal affection for her son.”
mohitau: means that Devakī and Vasudeva were overcome with bliss. “Being childless and detached from material enjoyment, but overcome with bliss by parental affection, you did not pray for liberation.”
|| 10.3.40 ||
gate mayi yuvāṁ labdhvā varaṁ mat-sadṛśaṁ sutam
grāmyān bhogān abhuñjāthāṁ yuvāṁ prāpta-manorathau
TRANSLATION
After you received that benediction and I disappeared, you engaged yourselves in sex to have a son like Me, and I fulfilled your desire.
COMMENTARY
“Desiring in this way for a son, you then engaged in sexual intercourse. According to the Sanskrit dictionary Amara-kośa, grāmyān bhogān means sex life.
|| 10.3.41 ||
adṛṣṭvānyatamaṁ loke śīlaudārya-guṇaiḥ samam
ahaṁ suto vām abhavaṁ pṛśnigarbha iti śrutaḥ
TRANSLATION
Since I found no one else as highly elevated as you in simplicity and other qualities of good character, I appeared in this world as Pṛśnigarbha, or one who is celebrated as having taken birth from Pṛśni.
COMMENTARY
“In My first birth I appeared as Pṛśnigarbha.” This refers to the Tretā-yuga avatāra mentioned in the Śrīmad Bhāgavatam (11.5.26): viṣṇur yajñaḥ pṛśnigarbhaḥ, sarvadeva urukramaḥ, “In Tretā-yuga the Lord is glorified by the names Viṣṇu, Yajña, Pṛśnigarbha, Sarvadeva, Urukrama, etc.”
|| 10.3.42 ||
tayor vāṁ punar evāham adityām āsa kaśyapāt
