॥ अथ अषटादशो अध्यायः ॥

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 18, Shloka 1:

Sri Paraasharar – All the time thinking like this, that He is sarvajnya, He knows that I have not committed any sin, and He will definitely accept me, with that hope, Akroora went there and bowed down to Krishna and paid obeisance at His lotus feet, and also told his name, that he is Akroora.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 18, Shloka 2:

Immediately, Krishna touched Akroora with His hand, which had all kinds of divine signs – dhvaja, vajra, abja, lotus, etc. He touched him nicely and pulled him, and embraced him deeply with great love.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 18, Shloka 3:

Having enquired both Krishna and Balaraama, about mutual health and welfare, They were feeling very happy, took him and went home.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 18, Shloka 4:

Both Balaraama and Krishna did all the satkaara to him. Being done all the satkaara by Balaraama and Krishna, they had food. After that, he tells Them all the details.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 18, Shloka 5:

Akroora starts to narrate what all happened there, and tells how Aanakadundubhi (Vasudeva) was scared away by Kamsa, and also Devaki, by that wicked Kamsa.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 18, Shloka 6:

And how badly Kamsa behaves with Ugrasena, and all of this, to Krishna and Balaraama. And also tells for what purpose he was sent by Kamsa. And also says that Kamsa has an evil thought in his mind.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 18, Shloka 7:

Having heard all these things in detail, Devaki's son Sri Krishna, said – "O Daanapati, Akroora, I am aware of all these things".

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 18, Shloka 8:

O Akroora, I am going to do whatever is right, now, I am going to do all that. This is not going to happen in any other way. I am going to do whatever is good to the world. Know that it is not going to happen in any other way. Be sure that Kamsa will be killed. Have no doubts about this.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 18, Shloka 9:

Myself and Balaraama, will go to Mathura tomorrow, along with you, and also all the elderly gopaas will come with us, and will bring all the offerings to Kamsa, like milk, curd, butter.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 18, Shloka 10:

Don't worry about anything. Spend the night peacefully. Within three days, I will kill Kamsa, along with all his followers.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 18, Shloka 11:

Sri Paraasharar – Having instructed all of them, and Akroora, and all the gopaas, Krishna and Balabhadra had good sleep, in the house of Nandagopa.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 18, Shloka 12:

And, in the clear morning, Balaraama and Krishna, both started to prepare for the travel along with Akroora, to travel to Mathura.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 18, Shloka 13:

Sri Engal Aalwaan’s Commentary:

All the gopis see that Krishna is leaving Gokula and going to Mathura. Immediately, all their hands became thin, and all the rings, bangles they were wearing in their hands, started to become loose and fall down. They started deep breaths, because of feeling very dejected, that Krishna is leaving Gokula and going to Mathura, and they started to talk to each other like this.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 18, Shloka 14:

This Krishna is going to Mathura, how will He come back to Gokula. He will be totally captured and will be enjoying with His ears all the wonderful talk of the women folk of the city Mathura.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 18, Shloka 15:

Sri Engal Aalwaan’s Commentary:

The gopi janaas are not immersed in sweet talk and all that; the city women folk are all very good in that, and He will be captivated by that. How can He smile even and turn towards all of us, we are all graamya gopis living in the village. We are unaware of all those things which the city women do.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 18, Shloka 16:

This Hari, who is the essence of the entire Vraja, fate is stealing from us. Wicked fate, has, without any compassion, has stolen the essence of this entire Vraja itself.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 18, Shloka 17:

Their talk is always with meaningful smiles; they speak very sweetly, which is very attractive. They have very attractive walk. The city folk have all this, it is well known. Even their glances are all like that.

Sri Engal Aalwaan’s Commentary:

Their ways are very good, and everybody gets attracted by that. Our speech is not like that, it can never exceed the way that they speak attractively, with a lot of meaning, smiles and glances; we can never do such things.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 18, Shloka 18:

One gopi is telling another gopi like this. Hari, who lived in Gokula, all the way here, when He goes and sees their wonderful attractive ways there, how can you even think of He coming back, to you people?

Sri Engal Aalwaan’s Commentary:

It is not a village thing. It is something new to Him. He is only used to the talk of the Gokula women folk only, the gopis. Now, He goes and sees something which is very new and different; it will be very attractive to Him, and by what logic will He come back here, there is no way that He will even come back to you people. This is what one gopi is telling another.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 18, Shloka 19:

See this Krishna. He is mounting the chariot and is going to Mathura. This Akroora who is so wicked, and cruel; He is being cheated by Akroora.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 18, Shloka 20:

Sri Engal Aalwaan’s Commentary:

Let Him be without any feeling of love towards us. How can He not know this Akroora who is so wicked, he has no love for anyone, but how can He not know us, who are filled with such deep and pure love for Krishna? Because of which he is taking Krishna, who is the joy of our eyes, and he is taking Him somewhere else.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 18, Shloka 21:

This Krishna also, who is very cruel, along with Balaraama, is going somewhere else, having mounted on the chariot. Let us hurry and try to stop Him. One gopi says.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 18, Shloka 22:

Sri Engal Aalwaan’s Commentary:

Another gopi tells like this. "When there are elders here, how can we do such a thing (stopping Krishna) in front of elders? It is not right for us, we cannot do it". "Why do you think like that, what will the elders do, when we are getting burnt by the fire of separation from Krishna?"

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 18, Shloka 23:

"Nandagopa and the other leaders, the gopaas, are also not putting any efforts to stop them. They are also getting ready to make Him go. Nobody is putting any effort to stop Krishna and make Him return".

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 18, Shloka 24:

Sri Engal Aalwaan’s Commentary:

For the women folk of Mathura, this night itself is like Suprabhaata, this is the time in their life, because they are going to enjoy the bliss of the sight of Krishna, the lotus face of Krishna. Their eyes are like bees, and they are going to drink the nectar from the lotus face of Krishna.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 18, Shloka 25:

Sri Engal Aalwaan’s Commentary:

Whoever is going along with Krishna, both men and women, and are not stopped from going with Krishna, they are all dhanya. On the way, they will go on seeing Krishna, their entire body will be having horripilation, on seeing Krishna all the time, while going. Their life only is meaningful.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 18, Shloka 26:

All the people of Mathura, for them, it is a great mahotsava, a great festival, because, having seen Govinda, His wonderful hands and feet, and face, so divine and wonderful; it is a big mahotsava for their eyes, is going to happen.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 18, Shloka 27:

With their eyes fully open, they are going to see Krishna, without any block. Nobody will stop them from seeing Krishna. What bhaagya they had done that they are going to see this Adhokshaja, Krishna. They are very lucky.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 18, Shloka 28:

Having shown this great treasure to all the gopi janaas, it is now as though all their eyes are being plucked away by the wicked and cruel fate.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 18, Shloka 29:

Sri Engal Aalwaan’s Commentary:

Krishna is leaving and going, and because of the love towards Him, we are all becoming weak. Our entire body is becoming weak. He is the cause of our weakness, and because of this, even our hands are becoming so thin that our bangles are falling away.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 18, Shloka 30:

His name is Akroora, but his heart is very cruel. Because he is making the horses of the chariot to move fast. Who is there who cannot have compassion towards the gopis, who are so desperate and so full of love for Krishna?

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 18, Shloka 31:

This chariot of Krishna, the dust raising from the wheels of this chariot, look at that dust. The chariot has taken Him away. When the chariot goes away, even the dust is not going to be visible.

Gopis are very dejected and feel very sad when Krishna leaves Gokula.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 18, Shloka 32:

Sri Paraasharar – Like this, with all broken hearts, all the gopijanaas were seeing Krishna. Sri Krishna left Gokula along with Balaraama.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 18, Shloka 33:

As they were travelling, in the chariot which had horses which were going very fast, they reached the banks of the Yamunaa river, in the afternoon, exactly – Balaraama, Krishna and Akroora.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 18, Shloka 34:

Akroora told Krishna to wait there, that he will go to the Yamunaa river, and that he will finish his maadhyaahnika and come.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 18, Shloka 35:

Sri Paraasharar – They said that "We will wait here, you finish your maadhyaahnika and come". And he took bath in the Yamunaa river, did aachamana, and started to meditate upon Parambrahma, and then wanted to do avagaaha, so he entered into the water.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 18, Shloka 36:

Immediately, there he saw Balaraama, who had thousands of hoods, like Aadishesha. He was having the Kunda pushpa garland, and His eyes were like the petal of the just bloomed lotus.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 18, Shloka 37:

He was surrounded by Vaasuki, Rambhaa, and all the huge serpents. They were all eulogizing Him, He was decorated with the Vanamaalaa, which had wonderful fragrance.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 18, Shloka 38:

He was wearing shyaama vastra, of blackish blue colour, and He had wonderful ornaments, which were beautiful to look at. He had beautiful earrings. He was shining forth under the water. Akroora saw Balaraama thus.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 18, Shloka 39:

In the lap of the Aadishesha, he saw Sri Krishna. Krishna's body was having the dark hue of the water bearing clouds. His eyes were all red fully. He had four arms, and He was wearing Sudarshana Chakra, Shanka, Gadaa, Padma, and these weapons and wonderful ornaments.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 18, Shloka 40:

He was wearing Peetaambara, yellow coloured cloth. He was shining, wearing wonderful garlands. It was looking as though a cloud with Indradhanush, with a chain of lightnings. It was looking like a wonderful cloud. Krishna was so wonderful to look at.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 18, Shloka 41:

Having the Shreevatsa mark on His chest, and beautiful and bright Makara Kundalas in His ears, He was decorated with Pundareeka, such Krishna was there.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 18, Shloka 42:

There, under that water itself, he also saw Sanaka, Sanandana and all these munis, there were all siddhayogis, without any sin. They were focussing their eyes on the tip of their nose, and meditating there. Akroora saw all of them there.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 18, Shloka 43:

Akroora then recognized Balaraama and Krishna there, and was thinking "How did they come here from the chariot so fast?".

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 18, Shloka 44:

Akroora was about to tell that – whatever he saw, how can that happen? Krishna with His sankalpa, blocked his speech. Akroora got up from the waters, and then came to the chariot again.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 18, Shloka 45:

In the chariot, he saw Balaraama and Krishna, who were in the form of ordinary humans, and they were firmly seated in the chariot, as before.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 18, Shloka 46:

Again, Akroora went into the water, and took a dip. Again, he saw in the same way, all the gandharvaas were also eulogizing Him, the great serpents, munis, siddhaas, were all eulogizing Him.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 18, Shloka 47:

Then Akroora realized what is the truth. Then he prayed to and eulogized the Sarvajnya, Achyuta, who is the Lord, Krishna. Akroora starts to eulogize.

Sri Engal Aalwaan’s Commentary:

Now, the Akroora Stuti is going to start, which we see next.

We are studying of Chapter 18 of Amsha 5, where Akroora is sent by Kamsa, and is taking back Krishna and Balaraama, to Mathura, with Kamsa's bad intentions. On the way, he stopped to do his maadhyaahnika, and at that time, he takes a dip in the river. He sees the most wonderful sight, where he has the saakshaatkaara of Bhagavaan. He sees Krishna and Balaraama there. He then starts to eulogize Bhagavaan, based on that wonderful sight that he had.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 18, Shloka 48:

Sri Engal Aalwaan’s Commentary:

Akroora – He does not have the shat bhaava vikaaraas. This is not contradicting the mere existence, sattaa maatra. Nityatva and others are not negated, but only the bhaava vikaaraas are negated. There are so many wonderful attributes which are asaadhaarana gunaas of Paramaatman; nobody can even think of His greatness. He is the Paramaatman, the Supreme Self. He is all pervading. He has got many forms. He is also ekasvaroopa, one unique svaroopa. I bow down to that Supreme Self. I bow down to that Paramaatman.

The shat bhaava vikaaraas are Asti, Jaayate, Vardhate, Viparinamate, Apaksheeyate, Nashyati. In the state of effect, where everything is created, after Brahman does anupravesha, and He says "Bahusyaam prajaayeya", "Let Me become many", and He brings all the chetana and achetana into gross form, being the inner self of everything and is all pervading. He is only present in all these forms, because everything is His mode, being His shareera; so He is Naikaroopa, He has many forms. At the same time, in the state of cause, Causal state, where everything is merged unto Him, and is existing in an extremely subtle state, along with Him, without being distinguishable as a separate entity, united in Him – this is Ekaroopa. These are the state of Effect and the Causal state.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 18, Shloka 49:

Everything is His form only. He only is existing in all forms. The names and forms in the ultimate sense are denoting Him only. He is the havis svaroopa, and we cannot imagine His Form or qualities. I bow down to Him.

Sri Engal Aalwaan’s Commentary:

He is the ultimate knowledge, and there is nothing superior to Him, which is to be known. He is Ananta, and one cannot know His vastness. He i superior to prakruti. I bow down to such Paramaatman.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 18, Shloka 50:

He is existing in the pancha bhootaas, and also in the shabda, sparsha, roopa, rasa, gandha. He is having all these as His shareera, everything being controlled by Him, supported by Him, and existing for His purpose. The eleven indriyaas are also His shareera.

Sri Engal Aalwaan’s Commentary:

In the Bhootaatmaa, Indriyaatmaa, the buddhi and ahamkaara are also to be included. Pradhaana aatma is the avyakta aatma, avyakta is the causal state of the non-sentient prakruti. He is having avyakta also as His shareera. The samashti, vyasthi, mukta – all are under His control only, His shareera. His svaroopa is aanandamaya, which is very well told in the Shrutis as "Aanando brahmaa", etc. You are one, existing in five different ways. This is like "Bhoktaa bhogyam preritaaram cha matvaa, sarvam proktam trividham brahmam etat". In this shloka, five are told – Bhootaatmaa, Indriyaatmaa, Pradhaanaatmaa, Aatmaa and Paramaatmaa. You are existing in five different forms. In bhoktaa, bhogyam, preritaaram, the non-sentient is combined together. Here, in this shloka, they are separated into five.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 18, Shloka 51:

O Supreme Self, be pleased with me, do grace me. You are the kshara and akshara, whatever is impermanent and permanent, non-eternal and eternal. Kshara is that which keeps changing, the roopa vikaara which happens. Akshara is that which does not change. When it is told as panchadhaa, then everything is included in that.

Sri Engal Aalwaan’s Commentary:

You are only called by the name Brahma, Vishnu, Shiva. You are only the inner self of all, and they are also Your shareera only.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 18, Shloka 52:

Sri Engal Aalwaan’s Commentary:

That which is infinite, which cannot be told, one cannot tell completely, and it is impossible to tell because it is infinite. Neither the svaroopa nor the host of qualities – cannot be told completely because it is infinite. His ubhaya vibhooti – Nitya vibhooti and Leelaa vibhooti, is all aanandaatmaka, and that is the prayojana, the purpose, and because it is infinite, eternal, it cannot be told.

One who has that kind of a ubhaya vibhooti, aananda svaroopa, is told as Anaakhyeya prayojana, that which is Supreme Bliss, that Paramaatman, who has ubhaya vibhooti as His attribute. As it is eternal, it cannot be told completely. You are the Supreme Cause, and You have infinite number of names by which You are addressed, so one cannot tell it completely. I pay obeisance to You, O Supreme Lord.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 18, Shloka 53:

The differentiation into name and form, happens to all the baddhaas, during srushti, because of their karma. He is not subject to that, because He is the one who does that.

Sri Engal Aalwaan’s Commentary:

One cannot imagine of tell You are as a jeevaatman, as deva, pashu, manushya, etc. This is told as His svaroopa. The characteristics of objects are understood by these only – shabda, jaati, guna, kriyaa, etc.; You are one whose svaroopa is not like that; because He is the one who creates everything and differentiates everything into name and form. He is the one who oversees and controls the naama-roopa-vibhajana; and He is outside of that, untouched by that; that is Brahma, as told in the Shruti. You are without change, without birth.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 18, Shloka 54:

Sri Engal Aalwaan’s Commentary:

Even though You are like that, without name or class, unlike the jeevaas who are subjected to creation and destruction, You are beyond all that, because You are the one who executes all of that. In spite of that, in order that people can attain You, meditating upon You, You are seen in various forms, like deva, manushya, etc., in order to do good to the world, so that people can meditate on You, and get liberated. In order to grace the upaasakaas, You take form. The forms that You take, as deva, manushya, etc., are all out of Your own will. You are eulogized by Brahma and others using those names and forms. Without calling You by some name or form, one cannot get any benefit. If they have to meditate upon You, they have to meditate upon some form of Yours, with a name and place, and a means of upaasanaa. If they cannot perceive You with a name and form, they cannot even meditate upon You, and will be stuck here forever. In order to grace them so that they can get liberated, You are incarnating Yourself as and being eulogized as Krishna, Achyuta, Ananta, Vishnu.

Krishna told here, also includes the names of all the avataaraas like Varaaha, Raama, Narasimha. In Moksha Dharma, it is said that Chaturmukha Brahma does Aniruddha Upaasanaa. In this puraana also, this is being told.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 18, Shloka 55:

By gods and others, the whole world is made, Brahma and others, all are You only. All the objects which are here, the deva, manushya, the variety which is found here – are all You only. Even the aatma vastu, which does not undergo any change, immutable, is also You only. You are present as this entire universe.

Sri Engal Aalwaan’s Commentary:

Because You are present in the form of this entire universe, and everything is present in You, supported by You, there is nothing which is other than You. Everything is Brahmaatmaka.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 18, Shloka 56:

You are only Chaturmukha Brahma, You are Indra, You are Vaayu. You are Agni, Varuna, Kubera, Yama, You are one. The various objects which we see here, being One, You are present in all these forms.

Sri Engal Aalwaan’s Commentary:

The various forms are all the effects, and are subjected to creation, and are created into the gross form from the subtle form, where they get a body and indriyaas. All those things are You only.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 18, Shloka 57:

You only create this whole universe. In the form of the rays of the Sun, You cause rains, and that is how You create the world. The whole universe is subordinated to You. The sattva, rajas, tamas are everywhere, this whole world is all praakruta.

Sri Engal Aalwaan’s Commentary:

The word 'sat' denoted You only. The supreme letter, the pranava, Om, Om Tat Sat, is told in the Bhagavad Gita. I pay obeisance to You.

O jnyaana svaroopa, You are the one who supports and presides over the sentients and non-sentients.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 18, Shloka 58:

Sri Engal Aalwaan’s Commentary:

Vaasudeva, Sankarshana, Pradyumna, Aniruddha are all You only. You are present in all these forms, I pay obeisance to You. This is said to be the Chaturvyooha Mantra.

With this wonderful stotra by Akroora, this Chapter Eighteen ends.
