Kṛṣṇa Establishes the City of Dvārakā
Содержание книги
- 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.
- This is the purpose of My present incarnation—to relieve the earth of its burden, protect the pious and kill the impious.
- As the women of the city affectionately looked at the Lord, their eyes wide open with love, they scattered flower garlands, yogurt, parched rice and newly grown sprouts upon Him.
- Lord Kṛṣṇa then presented to the Yadu king all the wealth that had fallen on the battlefield—namely, the countless ornaments of the dead warriors.
- Just as the eighteenth battle was about to take place, a barbarian warrior named Kālayavana, sent by Nārada, appeared on the battlefield.
- Translation. Translation. Commentary. Translation. Translation. After thus discussing the matter with balarāma, the Supreme Personality of Godhead had a fortress twelve yojanas in circumference built within the sea. Inside that fort he had a city bui
- Appearing virtually within reach of Kālayavana’s hands at every moment, Lord Hari led the King of the Yavanas far away to a mountain cave.
- Although insulted in this way, the Supreme Lord entered the mountain cave. Kālayavana also entered, and there he saw another man lying asleep.
- Begged by Indra and the other demigods to help protect them when they were terrorized by the demons, Mucukunda defended them for a long time.
- Addressed thus, King Mucukunda took his respectful leave of the demigods and went to a cave, where he lay down to enjoy the sleep they had granted him.
- rī Mucukunda said: Who are You who have come to this mountain cave in the forest, having walked on the thorny ground with feet as soft as lotus petals?
- I think You are the Supreme Personality among the three chief gods, since You drive away the darkness of this cave as a lamp dispels darkness with its light.
- The man who woke me was burned to ashes by the reaction of his sins. Just then I saw You, possessing a glorious appearance and the power to chastise Your enemies.
- After many lifetimes someone might count the dust particles on the earth, but no one can ever finish counting My qualities, activities, names and births.
- Now choose some benedictions from Me, O saintly King. I will fulfill all your desires. One who has satisfied Me need never again lament.
- The Supreme Lord said: O emperor, great ruler, your mind is pure and potent. Though I enticed You with benedictions, your mind was not overcome by material desires.
- Understand that I enticed you with benedictions just to prove that you would not be deceived. The intelligence of My unalloyed devotees is never diverted by material blessings.
- O King, in your very next life you will become an excellent brāhmaṇa, the greatest well-wisher of all creatures, and certainly come to Me alone.
- Rukmiṇī’s Message to Lord Kṛṣṇa
- Seeing that the size of all the human beings, animals, trees and plants was severely reduced, and thus realizing that the age of Kali was at hand, Mucukunda left for the north.
- Abandoning the abundant riches, fearless but feigning fear, They went many yojanas on Their lotuslike feet.
- Apparently exhausted after fleeing a long distance, the two Lords climbed a high mountain named Pravarṣaṇa, upon which Lord Indra showers incessant rain.
- As ordered by Lord Brahmā, Raivata, the opulent ruler of Ānarta, gave Lord Balarāma his daughter Raivatī in marriage. This has already been discussed.
- My lord, I wish to hear how the immeasurably powerful Lord Kṛṣṇa took away His bride while defeating such kings as Māgadha and Sālva.
COMMENTARY
Dhṛtarāṣṭra said, “Who can transgress the arrangements (vidhi) of the Lord by any method (anyathā)? No one can. You are the proof of this. You could not make me have proper judgment, despite all of your instructions.”
Akrūra replied, “But that same Supreme Lord is now present in your own dynasty!”
Dhṛtarāṣṭra answered with the word bhūmer (earth). “That Lord is present in your house, and has been born in the Yadu family to relieve the burden of the earth. Therefore you should simply go back to Kṛṣṇa, and inform Him that you tried to impress my mind but were unsuccessful.”
|| 10.49.29 ||
yo durvimarśa-pathayā nija-māyayedaṁ
sṛṣṭvā guṇān vibhajate tad-anupraviṣṭaḥ
tasmai namo duravabodha-vihāra-tantra-
saṁsāra-cakra-gataye parameśvarāya
TRANSLATION
I offer my obeisances to Him, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, who creates this universe by the inconceivable activity of His material energy and then distributes the various modes of nature by entering within the creation. From Him, the meaning of whose pastimes is unfathomable, come both the entangling cycle of birth and death and the process of deliverance from it.
COMMENTARY
Dhṛtarāṣṭra then offered his respects to the Lord: “He creates this universe by the inconceivable activity of His material energy. After entering the universe He divides the guṇas into goodness, passion and ignorance. I offer my respects to the Supreme Lord, who is the deliverer from the wheel of saṁsāra, and whose pastimes are difficult to understand.”
“Akrūra, Kṛṣṇa inspired you to, ‘Enlighten Dhṛtarāṣṭra,’ by sending you here to give me knowledge. And Kṛṣṇa also inspired me, ‘Don’t be enlightened.’ Who can fathom the purpose of Kṛṣṇa’s incomprehensible pastimes? And don’t tell me that I have fallen into the wheel of saṁsāra, because I know that Kṛṣṇa will also deliver me in the future (saṁsāra cakra gati).”

śrī-śuka uvāca
ity abhipretya nṛpater abhiprāyaṁ sa yādavaḥ
suhṛdbhiḥ samanujñātaḥ punar yadu-purīm agāt
TRANSLATION
Śukadeva Gosvāmī said: Having thus apprised himself of the King’s attitude, Akrūra, the descendant of Yadu, took permission from his well-wishing relatives and friends and returned to the capital of the Yādavas.
COMMENTARY
Akrūra returned to Mathurā after ascertaining (abhiprāyaṁ) the intention of Dhṛtarāṣṭra, who would not give up his partiality to his own sons.
|| 10.49.31 ||
śaśaṁsa rāma-kṛṣṇābhyāṁ dhṛtarāṣṭra-viceṣṭitam
pāṇdavān prati kauravya yad-arthaṁ preṣitaḥ svayam
TRANSLATION
Akrūra reported to Lord Balarāma and Lord Kṛṣṇa how Dhṛtarāṣṭra was behaving toward the Pāṇḍavas. Thus, O descendant of the Kurus, he fulfilled the purpose for which he had been sent.
Thus ends the commentary on the Forty Ninth Chapter of the Tenth Canto of the Bhāgavatam for the pleasure of the devotees, in accordance with the previous ācāryas.
