Chapter Twelve
Jaḍa Bharata Refutes the King’s Arguments
|| 5.12.1 ||
rahūgaṇa uvāca
namo namaḥ kāraṇa-vigrahāya
svarūpa-tucchīkṛta-vigrahāya
namo 'vadhūta dvija-bandhu-liṅga-
nigūḍha-nityānubhavāya tubhyam
King Rahūgana said: O avadhūta! I offer respects to you, having an eternal form like the Lord, which makes the writers of scripture insignificant by its experience of bliss. I offer respects to you, who have hidden your eternal experience of bliss in the form of a brāhmaṇa.
The Twelfth Chapter explains that though the universe is false, Kṛṣṇa’s six qualities, his abode and bhakti are true. Kāraṇa means the Lord. This indicates that Bharata has an eternal form for protecting the world. His form, by its experience of bliss, makes insignificant the arguments of the writers of scriptures. O avadhūta!
|| 5.12.2 ||
jvarāmayārtasya yathāgadaṁ sat
nidāgha-dagdhasya yathā himāmbhaḥ
kudeha-mānāhi-vidaṣṭa-dṛṣṭeḥ
brahman vacas te 'mṛtam auṣadhaṁ me
O brāhmaṇa! Your words are my medicine, just as correct medicine cures a person suffering from fever, or ice water relieves a person burned by the summer sun. Your words are nectar.
My vision has been bitten seriously by the snake of false identity with the despicable body. O brāhmaṇa! Your words are medicine (agadam). An example is given. On the grounds that this example is not always true (medicine does not always cure) another example is given. If the example of medicine is unsatisfactory, then the words of Bharata are compared to nectar.
|| 5.12.3 ||
tasmād bhavantaṁ mama saṁśayārthaṁ
prakṣyāmi paścād adhunā subodham
adhyātma-yoga-grathitaṁ tavoktam
ākhyāhi kautūhala-cetaso me
