Prayers to the Deities of the Varṣas
|| 5.18.1 ||
śrī-śuka uvāca
tathā ca bhadraśravā nāma dharma-sutas tat-kula-patayaḥ puruṣā bhadrāśva-varṣe sākṣād bhagavato vāsudevasya priyāṁ tanuṁ dharmamayīṁ hayaśīrṣābhidhānāṁ parameṇa samādhinā sannidhāpyedam abhigṛṇanta upadhāvanti.
Śukadeva said: In Bhadrāśva, Bhadraśravā, the son of Dharmarāja, accompanied by his descendants and all the residents of the land, worships the dear form of Vāsudeva known as Hayaśīrṣa, the embodiment of dharma, approaching him by intense concentration and by chanting the following mantra.
The worship of Hayagrīva and other deities in six varṣas starting with Bhadrāśva are described in the Eighteenth Chapter. Bhadraśravā is the name of the leader of this varṣa. Kula-patayaḥ means the chief descendents.
|| 5.18.2 ||
bhadraśravasa ūcuḥ
oṁ namo bhagavate dharmāyātma-viśodhanāya nama iti.
Bhadraśravā’s followers said: I offer respects the Supreme Lord, to the embodiment of dharma, to the purifier of the ātmā.
Bhadraśravasa means Bhadraśravā’s followers. The Lord is called a purifier because he removes the contamination of ignorance from the jīvas.
|| 5.18.3 ||
aho vicitraṁ bhagavad-viceṣṭitaṁ
ghnantaṁ jano 'yaṁ hi miṣan na paśyati
dhyāyann asad yarhi vikarma sevituṁ
nirhṛtya putraṁ pitaraṁ jijīviṣati
How astonishing it is that a person, though seeing death, does not see really death, the action of the Lord, since, meditating on sinful acts, he desires to live to enjoy material life even though burning his father and his sons after their deaths.
Though he sees death, he does not see it. Burning his dead father who produced him and son whom he produced, who have died, he, positioned between them, even though produced by one and producing the other, desires to live off of their wealth.He does not bother to ask, “Can death take me away?” Someone may say, “But to live fifty years for the service of the Lord is not to be criticized.” But this person meditates on how to get himself married, to get some material happiness (vikarma sevitum). Not only is he not aware of death, but he enjoys after burning his son. This is most astonishing. Another version has jijīviṣan. Since that version keeps the meter, it is acceptable. “In Bhadrāśva and other heavenly planets on earth, a person would not see the death of his father and son at the same time.” That is true. In their descriptions, they are speaking of the inhabitants of Bhārata. “We are unfortunate. We are enjoying the results of our good karmas. In Bhadrāśva we live like animals. Those who are most fortunate have taken birth in Bhārata for attaining practices to get out of this world. There, even the low-born easily attain Vaikuṇṭha. How can they become bewildered?” This is how they thinking.
