Содержание книги
- Thus We have wasted all these days, unable as We were to properly honor you because Our minds were always disturbed by fear of Kaṁsa.
- The Lord told him: O mighty King, We are your subjects, so please command Us. Indeed, because of the curse of Yayāti, no Yadu may sit on the royal throne.
- Even the most elderly inhabitants of the city appeared youthful, full of strength and vitality, for with their eyes they constantly drank the elixir of Lord Mukunda’s lotus face.
- They are the real father and mother who care for, as they would their own sons, children abandoned by relatives unable to maintain and protect them.
- My dear King, then Vasudeva, the son of Śūrasena, arranged for a priest and other brāhmaṇas to perform his two sons’ second-birth initiation.
- After attaining twice-born status through initiation, the Lords, sincere in Their vows, took the further vow of celibacy from Garga Muni, the spiritual master of the Yadus.
- The Supreme Lord Kṛṣṇa addressed the lord of the ocean: Let the son of My guru be presented at once—the one you seized here with your mighty waves.
- O heroes, now please return home. May Your fame sanctify the world, and may the Vedic hymns be ever fresh in Your minds, both in this life and the next.
- Thus receiving Their guru’s permission to leave, the two Lords returned to Their city on Their chariot, which moved as swiftly as the wind and resounded like a cloud.
- The Supreme Lord Hari, who relieves the distress of all who surrender to Him, once took the hand of His fully devoted, dearmost friend Uddhava and addressed him as follows.
- Simply because I have promised to return to them, My fully devoted cowherd girlfriends struggle to maintain their lives somehow or other.
- ukadeva Gosvāmī said: Thus addressed, O King, Uddhava respectfully accepted his master’s message, mounted his chariot and set off for Nanda-gokula.
- After Uddhava had eaten first-class food, been seated comfortably on a bed and been relieved of his fatigue by a foot massage and other means, Nanda inquired from him as follows.
- Nanda Mahārāja said:] My dear most fortunate one, does the son of Śūra fare well, now that he is free and has rejoined his children and other relatives?
- Will Govinda return even once to see His family? If He ever does, we may then glance upon His beautiful face, with its beautiful eyes, nose and smile.
- We were saved from the forest fire, the wind and rain, the bull and serpent demons—from all such insurmountable, deadly dangers—by that very great soul, Kṛṣṇa.
- As mother Yaśodā heard the descriptions of her son’s activities, she poured out her tears, and milk flowed from her breasts out of love.
- Infallible Kṛṣṇa, the Lord of the devotees, will soon return to Vraja to satisfy His parents.
- Having killed Kaṁsa, the enemy of all the Yadus, in the wrestling arena, Kṛṣṇa will now surely fulfill His promise to you by coming back.
- He has no mother, no father, no wife, children or other relatives. No one is related to Him, and yet no one is a stranger to Him. He has no material body and no birth.
- Just as a person who is whirling around perceives the ground to be turning, one who is affected by false ego thinks himself the doer, when actually only his mind is acting.
- The Supreme Lord Hari is certainly not your son alone. Rather, being the Lord, He is the son, Soul, father and mother of everyone.
- When the godly sun had risen, the people of Vraja noticed the golden chariot in front of Nanda Mahārāja’s doorway. “Who does this belong to?” they asked.
- The Song of the Bee (Bhramara-gītā)
- By your great fortune you have established an unexcelled standard of pure devotion for the Lord, Uttamaḥśloka—a standard even the sages can hardly attain.
- By your great fortune you have left your sons, husbands, bodily comforts, relatives and homes in favor of the supreme male, who is known as Kṛṣṇa.
- My good ladies, now please hear your beloved’s message, which I, the confidential servant of my master, have come here to bring you.
- By Myself I create, sustain and withdraw Myself within Myself by the power of My personal energy, which comprises the material elements, the senses and the modes of nature.
- When her lover is far away, a woman thinks of him more than when he is present before her.
- Because your minds are totally absorbed in Me and free from all other engagement, you remember Me always, and so you will very soon have Me again in your presence.
- O saintly one, does Govinda ever remember us during His conversations with the city women? Does He ever mention us village girls as He freely talks with them?
- Who can bear to give up intimate talks with Lord Uttamaḥśloka? Although He shows no interest in her, Goddess Śrī never moves from her place on His chest.
- Dear Uddhava Prabhu, when Kṛṣṇa was here in the company of Saṅkarṣaṇa, He enjoyed all these rivers, hills, forests, cows and flute sounds.
- All the days that Uddhava dwelled in Nanda’s cowherd village seemed like a single moment to the residents of Vraja, for Uddhava was always discussing Kṛṣṇa.
- As Uddhava was about to leave, Nanda and the others approached him bearing various items of worship. With tears in their eyes they addressed him as follows.
- Kṛṣṇa Pleases His Devotees
- Having thus gotten the hard-to-get Supreme Lord by the simple act of offering Him body ointment, unfortunate Trivakrā submitted to that Lord of freedom the following request.
- Trivakrā said:] O beloved, please stay here with me for a few days more and enjoy. I cannot bear to give up Your association, O lotus-eyed one!
- Then Lord Kṛṣṇa, wanting to have some things done, went to Akrūra’s house with Balarāma and Uddhava. The Lord also desired to please Akrūra.
- You both are the original Supreme Person, the cause of the universe and its very substance. Not the slightest subtle cause or manifest product of creation exists apart from You.
- You are indeed the best of Our friends, so please go to Hastināpura and, as the well-wisher of the Pāṇḍavas, find out how they are doing.
- Go and see whether Dhṛtarāṣṭra is acting properly or not. When We find out, We will make the necessary arrangements to help Our dear friends.
- Akrūra’s Mission in Hastināpura
- Kuntīdevī, taking advantage of her brother Akrūra’s visit, approached him confidentially. While remembering her birthplace, she spoke with tears in her eyes.
- Now that I am suffering in the midst of my enemies like a doe in the midst of wolves, will Kṛṣṇa come to console me and my fatherless sons with His words?
- By religiously protecting the earth, delighting your subjects with your noble character, and treating all your relatives equally, you will surely achieve success and glory.
- In this world no one has any permanent relationship with anyone else, O King. We cannot stay forever even with our own body, what to speak of our wife, children and the rest.
- Who can defy the injunctions of the Supreme Lord, who has now descended in the Yadu dynasty to diminish the earth’s burden?
- Kṛṣṇa Establishes the City of Dvārakā
- ukadeva Gosvāmī said: When Kaṁsa was killed, O heroic descendant of Bharata, his two queens, Asti and Prāpti, went to their father’s house in great distress.
COMMENTARY
Uddhava said to the gopīs, “Your bhakti is very different from all other types.” The term pravartitā (establish) indicates that the gopīs brought to this world the most excellent (anuttamā) standard of pure love of God that was previously unknown on the earth.
Uddhava continued, “However, following in the footsteps of your spontaneous devotional service (rāgātmikā-bhakti), rāgānuga-bhakti (advanced sādhana-bhakti with attachment) will be spread as a practice in the future. This is for the good fortune (diṣṭyā) of the people in general.”

diṣṭyā putrān patīn dehān sva-janān bhavanāni ca
hitvāvṛnīta yūyaṁ yat kṛṣṇākhyaṁ puruṣaṁ param
TRANSLATION
By your great fortune you have left your sons, husbands, bodily comforts, relatives and homes in favor of the supreme male, who is known as Kṛṣṇa.
COMMENTARY
Uddhava said, “It is my good fortune that you have given up your sense of possessiveness toward your husbands, homes and families, and accepted the supreme male named Kṛṣṇa as your enjoyer.”
|| 10.47.27 ||
sarvātma-bhāvo ’dhikṛto bhavatīnām adhokṣaje
viraheṇa mahā-bhāgā mahān me ’nugrahaḥ kṛtaḥ
TRANSLATION
You have rightfully claimed the privilege of unalloyed love for the transcendental Lord, O most glorious gopīs. Indeed, by exhibiting your love for Kṛṣṇa in separation from Him, you have shown me great mercy.
COMMENTARY
The gopīs replied to Uddhava, “How is it fortunate for you that we have given up wealth and family to accept Kṛṣṇa, the supreme male?”
Uddhava answers in this verse: “Pure love for Kṛṣṇa, who cannot be perceived by the material senses (adhokṣaje), is very rarely attained. You, however, have whole-hearted love (sarvātma-bhāvo) for Kṛṣṇa, which is perfectly complete and manifest in all its true aspects. In other words, you possess mahābhāva. Just as the sun spreads to all by transference of heat and the moon spreads itself to all people by transference of coolness, so mahābhāva spreads itself to all people by transference of its own nature.”
In this verse, the combination of the words sarvātma (complete) and bhāva (emotion) reveals the characteristics of mahābhāva. Ujjvala-nīlamaṇī defines mahābhāva thus: “When anurāga (fifth stage of kṛṣṇa-prema) attains states of being conscious of only itself, of its own taste while clearly manifesting various sāttvika-bhāvas, and reaches its maximum possible state, it is called mahābhāva.”
Uddhava said, “Mahābhāva is the seventh level of kṛṣṇa-prema, and it manifests in you gopīs and in no one else, not even Lakṣmī. What is it like? It is a special privilege (krtaḥ:adhikāra) which has been given by Kṛṣṇa to you women alone and no one else. By your manifestation of love in separation, you have mercifully shown me all the various aspects of mahābhāva, such as citra jalpa and divyonmāda. If you had not experienced separation from Kṛṣṇa, He would have never sent me here, and I would never have seen this great wonder.” In this way Uddhava describes the extent of his good fortune.
