Now, Chapter Thirty Five.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 35, Shloka 1:

Maitreyar – O Paraasharar, I would like to again the story, the valiant deeds that Balaraama did, who was a very powerful person. Please tell me, narrate to me all the details.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 35, Shloka 2:

He pulled away the Yamunaa river itself, which I have heard. I want to listen to that story completely, that event, what happened. And also anything else which He did, such wonderful acts, done by Balaraama. I want to listen to them.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 35, Shloka 3:

Sri Paraasharar – O Maitreyar, do listen to me. All the wonderful acts that Balaraama, who is none other than Ananta, who does not have an equal, whose capability cannot be measured, who is none other than Aadishesha, by whom the entire earth is supported, did.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 35, Shloka 4:

Duryodhana's daughter was having a Svayamvara. At that time, Jaambavati's son Saamba went and snatched her away by force, and stole her.

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

Then, all the warriors who were there, Karna, Duryodhana, Bheeshma, Drona and all others, were extremely angry, because he came and took her away by force. They fought with him and defeated him. They then put him in arrest.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 35, Shloka 6:

All the Yaadavaas came to know of this, and they were extremely angry with Duryodhana and others. Krishna and others planned about how to get rid of all these people, and come and fight with them.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 35, Shloka 7:

Then, Balaraama stopped all of them from planning to go there and fight with the Kouravaas; His eyes were all intoxicated, eyes rolling. He said – "If I just tell them, with my words, they will leave Saamba, and I alone am enough, will go and take care of the Kouravaas. Don't worry". He stops all of them.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 35, Shloka 8:

Sri Paraasharar – Baladeva saw that city, and there was a garden outside itself. He stayed there itself, and did not enter into the city.

Sri Engal Aalwaan’s Commentary:

In case they did not listen to him, he wanted to fight with them. That is why he decided not to enter the city, but he rested outside the city in a garden.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 35, Shloka 9:

Duryodhana and others came to know that Balaraama has come, and is staying outside the city. Immediately, they took a lot of cows, arghya, paadya, and others, and they rushed to Balaraama to offer to him.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 35, Shloka 10:

Balaraama received all that which they gave, arghya and others, as per vidhi, and he told all the Kouravaas that Ugrasena is commanding you people to release Saamba immediately.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 35, Shloka 11:

Having listened to the words of Balabhadra, Bheeshma, Karna, Drona, Duryodhana and others, were highly disturbed.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 35, Shloka 12:

They were still angry. Along with them, Baahlika and others, told Balaraama – "O Balaraama, what did you say? They don't deserve any kingdom at all. Yadu vamsha people don't deserve to be kings at all, don't deserve any kingdom in any place".

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 35, Shloka 13:

"Having known this, how can you say such a thing? Who is capable of ordering the Kouravaas? How can a Yaadava give an order to a Kuru king, whoever is born in Kuru kula? They don't even deserve to be kings".

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 35, Shloka 14:

"Even if Ugrasena is giving us an order, commanding the Kouravaas, it is a laughing stock. We are all deserving to be kings, and we have shveta chatri, and we are all great kings. And what is the purpose of all these things, these will all become laughable. Who is Ugrasena to command us?"

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 35, Shloka 15:

"O Balaraama, whether you go back or not, we don't care. We are not going to release Saamba, who has not done the right thing, who has done the wrong thing. Whether with your order, or Ugrasena's order, we are not going to release him".

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 35, Shloka 16:

Sri Engal Aalwaan’s Commentary:

"Out of respect, we gave arghya, paadya, and we offered cows and everything. That is not what we meant. Let it not be so. Kukuraas, Andhakaas, and all of us came. We are all very respectable people. A servant cannot order a master, this is something like a servant ordering a master. Whatever we did out of respect, let it not be done".

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 35, Shloka 17:

"You Yaadavaas have all become arrogant, because we have made you sit along with us in the same seat, and also for eating and others. We have given you a lot of respect, and because of that, you have become arrogant".

Sri Engal Aalwaan’s Commentary:

Whatever we gave out of love, we came and showed our respect, you did not receive it properly. You did not take it in the right sense. You have no respect for that. You are all lowly people compared to us. Even then, with love, we respected you, even though we should have actually disrespected you. Instead of that, we offered you same seat and food. We took you as equals to us. This you neglected. You did not see it as done out of love, but thought that we were scared and that is why we were offering this respect to you. You did not take it in the right way, and you people don't even deserve all these.

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

Whatever we gave, arghya and others, actually, we Kurus should not have done all these things to Yaadavaas, because you don't deserve that. We have done that with love.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 35, Shloka 19:

Sri Paraasharar – Having told thus, all the Kurus, said that they are not going to release Saamba, Jaambavati's son. This was their final decision, and they returned back to their city.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 35, Shloka 20:

Balaraama was so angry, that he was roaring. He got up with a lot of anger, that they disrespected him. He got up, took his plough, and hit the earth, fiercely.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 35, Shloka 21:

The earth was torn apart, with the hit of his plough, and he made a huge sound, which was filling all the directions.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 35, Shloka 22:

Balaraama was extremely angry, putting a knot on his eyebrows. He said.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 35, Shloka 23:

Sri Engal Aalwaan’s Commentary:

What is this disrespect that you are showing to me? They are wicked people, they don't have any powers, and they don't even deserve anything. They think that the rulership which came to the Yaadavaas started recently only, that it has not come as per our paramparaa. They are not respecting Ugrasena's orders, they want to reject it and transgress it.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 35, Shloka 24:

Sri Engal Aalwaan’s Commentary:

Ugrasena is now controlling the Sudharmaa, and not Indra, because Indra has sent the Sudharmaa to Ugrasena himself. That is his greatness. Who are these Kouravaas, who are actually getting pleased with whatever is offered by the hundreds of human kings. Whereas Ugrasena is enjoying Sudharmaa, which is saakshaat Indra's deva sabhaa; that itself is owned by Ugrasena.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 35, Shloka 25:

In Yaduvamsha, the kings, their assistants, the servants, their wives, wear the wonderful Paarijaata pushpa, which was there in the Devaloka. Saakshaat Paarijaata pushpa is worn by the wives of the servants of the Yaadavaas, and even for them, these Kouravaas don't deserve to be kings.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 35, Shloka 26:

Let Ugrasena become the king of all the kings of this world, I will see that there are no Kouravaas left in this world, and then only I will return back.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 35, Shloka 27:

I am going to destroy Karna, Duryodhana, Drona, Bheeshma, Baahlika, Dusshaasana and others, Bhoori, Bhoorishravas.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 35, Shloka 28:

I am going to kill Somadatta, Shala, Bheema, Arjuna, Yudhishthira, Nakula, Sahadeva and all the other Kouravaas also, along with their horses, elephants, etc.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 35, Shloka 29:

Then I will take that valiant Saamba along with me, along with his wife, then go to Dwaarakaa puri, and then I will see all my relatives there.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 35, Shloka 30:

Or, what I will do is that, the entire Kourava city, where they live, along with the Kurus, I will drown them in Bhaageerathi river, the city and everything.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 35, Shloka 31:

Sri Paraasharar – Saying this, with all his eyes blood red, in order to pull away the entire Hastinaapura city, he took up his wonderful Musalaayudha, and all the border walls and forts included, they all got caught with the plough, which he started to pull.

Sri Engal Aalwaan’s Commentary:

He pulled his plough in such a way that it hit the other end of the city, the buildings and forts, and others, and he pulled the whole city.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 35, Shloka 32:

Hastinaapura started to shake and make a huge noise. Immediately having seen this, for the Kouravaas, their hearts stopped, and they were extremely terrified.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 35, Shloka 33:

They ran to Balaraama seeking his pardon and said "O Balaraama, Balaraama, please do pardon us, please do pardon us. Please become peaceful and don't be angry, and please grace us".

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 35, Shloka 34:

We are releasing Saamba along with his wife, and returning to you. We did not know your capability and powers. We have made a great mistake. Please do pardon us. They sought his pardon.

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

Sri Paraasharar – Then, Saamba along with his wife, they returned them back to Balaraama. Then, they came running out from their city, along with Saamba and his wife, and returned to him.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 35, Shloka 36:

Bheeshma, Drona, Krupaachaarya, and others bowed down to him, sought his grace and pardon. Balaraama said that he has pardoned them.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 35, Shloka 37:

Even today, that city has moved a little bit, and we can see that even today. This is the greatness, the great power of Balaraama.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 35, Shloka 38:

Then Kouravaas showed respect to Saamba and his wife, and sent him back with Balaraama, giving a lot of presents like money, and other things. And made him go back with Balaraama.

This completes Chapter Thirty Five.

Dvivida Vaanara slain

Now, Chapter Thirty Six.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 36, Shloka 1:

Sri Paraasharar – Balaraama tried to pull Yamunaa river itself along with Hastinaapura city. I told you that wonderful act of Balaraama. The other wonderful act of killing Dvivida Vaanara, also I will tell you.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 36, Shloka 2:

That Narakaasura, who was an enemy of all the gods, had a great friend who was a very powerful Vaanara, called Dvivida.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 36, Shloka 3:

This Dvivida came to know that Indra went to Krishna, and told him to kill Narakaasura, so, he got extremely angry with the devaas. Having come to know that Narakaasura was killed by Krishna only because of Indra.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 36, Shloka 4:

He decided that he will take revenge against all the gods. That he will destroy all the yaagaas, because the gods get food only when yaagaas are performed, when havis is offered in the yaagaas. If yaagaas are not done, the gods don't get food. So, he thought that he will destroy all the yajnyaas, and then destroy the earth where the people live.

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

Dvivida who was a very powerful Vaanara, started to destroy all the yajnyaas, being covered by ignorance. He transgressed all the saadhu maryaadaas, and disrespected all the saadhus, and even killed all the people.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 36, Shloka 6:

He burnt the Savana and other deshaas, the cities, the smaller cities, the villages. Sometimes, he took the peak of a mountain, and destroyed the city with that, by throwing the peak into the city. The cities were blown into powders.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 36, Shloka 7:

He picked up huge mountains, and threw them into the ocean. He then entered the ocean, and completely disturbed the ocean. He was so powerful.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 36, Shloka 8:

When he threw a huge mountain into the ocean, and himself got in and completely disturbed the ocean, the ocean crossed its boundaries, and created huge floods in all the directions, and it merged all the cities and villages around.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 36, Shloka 9:

He also destroyed all the plants and grains, and everything. He had taken a huge form, as he was a kaamaroopee, who could take any form he wanted. He powdered everything.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 36, Shloka 10:

This entire world was completely destroyed by one Vaanara, Dvivida who was so powerful and wicked. The entire world was without any svaadhyaaya, vashatkaara, etc. and there was great grief among people of the world.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 36, Shloka 11:

Once in the Raivata udyaana, Balaraama, who was Halaayudha, was involved in drinking wine, with Revati and other women. He was enjoying his time there.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 36, Shloka 12:

Either it could be the Ashoka tree, or all the women there. He was singing and enjoying with all the women there, and he was shining like Kubera in Nandanavana.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 36, Shloka 13:

Then, Dvivida came and picked up Balaraama's plough, the halaayudha. And then threw it on Balaraama himself as though he was going to hit him with that.

Sri Engal Aalwaan’s Commentary:

Dvivida made faces, and teased Balaraama with his halaayudha itself.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 36, Shloka 14:

In front of all the women, Dvivida laughed at them. And shaking up all the cups, vessels filled with wine, he just threw them away here and there.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 36, Shloka 15:

Balaraama got extremely angry, and shouted at him, and tried to scare him away, but Dvivida totally neglected Balaraama. And made fun of him, by making noises.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 36, Shloka 16:

Immediately, Balaraama picked up his plough, and at the same time, a huge mountain was picked by Dvivida, in order to fight against Balaraama.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 36, Shloka 17:

Dvivida threw the huge mountain, and that was broken into a thousand pieces by the musalaayudha, plough of Balaraama. And it fell with a thousand pieces on the ground.

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

And then, he tried to pick up the musala, plough itself, and tried to throw it at the chest of Balaraama. With great anger, he came and hit Balaraama on the chest.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 36, Shloka 19:

Then, Balaraama got very angry, and hit him with his fist on Dvivida's head. Gave him a huge hit on his head. Immediately, Dvivida vomited blood, and fell down dead.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 36, Shloka 20:

Dvivida was so huge, that when Balaraama hit him with his fist on the head, the head fell on the mountain, and the mountain's peak itself broke because of the weight of his head. It was as though Indra hit something with a Vajraayudha, and broke it. The hit from Balaraama's fist was so powerful.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 36, Shloka 21:

Then all the devaas showered flowers, pushpa vrushti on Balaraama, and were extremely happy. The praised him and said that "You did a wonderful thing".

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 36, Shloka 22:

This evil Vaanara, who was helping all the daityaas, and the entire world was destroyed. We thank you because you destroyed him.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 36, Shloka 23:

The devaas along with the guhyakaas went back to their svarga.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 36, Shloka 24:

Sri Paraasharar – Like this, there are wonderful acts which Balaraama has done, which are incomparable. He has done many such wonderful acts. Who is none other than Shesha, Aadishesha, who is supporting all the worlds.

This completes Chapter Thirty Six.

We just completed Chapter 36 of Amsha 5. Where Sri Paraasharar was narrating how Balaraama killed Dvivida, who was a very wicked Vaanara, and the kind of terror which he had created in the world, the kind of destruction which he had done. Balaraama put an end to this, and killed him without any effort. Having told about all the great things which Balaraama did during his avataara, Maitreyar is interested in knowing more, so Paraasharar continues.
