LORD KRISHNA EXPLAINED HIS NAMES AS PER HIS DEEDS

Arjuna asks Lord Krishna to describe his names as per his actions

After Yudhisthira was crowned as King of Hastinapur, Lord Krishna freed amazing Bhishma from all of his sufferings before his death and asked him to alleviate Yudhisthira from mourning over the lifeless Kshatriyas by the way of advising him on Dharma. Bhishma told him about Lord Krishna himself explaining his names according to his actions to Arjuna as per his demand.

Janamejaya asked Vaishampayan to tell him the etymology of the various names by which Maharishi Vyasa along with his disciples had praised this Madhusudana.  Vaishampayan narrated to him the same that Lord Shri Hari, being pleased with Arjuna, explained his names to him as per his qualities and deeds.

Arjun said, "Lord of the three worlds, past, present and future, the creator of the entire past, the indestructible, the support of the world and the one who gives fearlessness to all the worlds, Jagannath, Lord Narayandeva! Whatever names the Maharishis have said about you and in the Puranas and Vedas, all the confidential names are read as per the karma. I want to hear from your mouth. Lord Shri said, "Arjuna! Maharishis have mentioned many of my names in Rigveda, Yajurveda, Samaveda, Atharvaveda, Upanishads, Puranas, Astrology, Sankhyashastra, Yogashastra and Ayurveda. Among them, some names are according to qualities and some are based on deeds. Since ancient times, you have been considered half of my body.

Salutations to Lord Narayandeva, the most glorious, nirguna sagunarupa universal soul who is the supreme soul of all embodied beings. Sri Hari, from whose offerings Brahma and anger manifested Rudra, is the reason for the origin of the entire living world. The Sattva has eighteen qualities. (Love, Illumination, excellence, lightness, happiness, absence of miserliness, absence of remainder, contentment, faith, forgiveness, perseverance, non-violence, defecation, angerless, simplicity, equanimity, truth and absence of blame-these are the eighteen qualities of Sattva, that is his supreme nature. He is the Adipurush. The soul-form of the earth and the sky, the power of yoga, the power of all worlds (Karmafala bhutagatiswarupa), immortal, invincible. He is the Satya. From Him, all the disorders like creation and destruction etc. are manifested. 

He is the penance, yajna and Yajamana, He is the ancient Virata Purusha, He is called Aniruddha. From him the creation and destruction of the worlds take place. When the night of doomsday had passed, a lotus appeared by the grace of that infinite and brilliant Aniruddha. Brahmaji emerged from that lotus. Brahma was born from the blessings of Lord Aniruddha. When Brahma's day passed, Rudra, the destroyer, appeared in the form of his son from his forehead who was in a rage. These two great gods Brahma and Rudra were the offerings of Lord Narayana. They follow the path shown by him. Take shelter and complete the work of creation and destruction. Those two gods who grant boons to all living beings are merely the instruments of creation and destruction. (In reality, all that happens only due to Lord Narayana's will.) Among these, Rudra the destroyer, Kapardin (having matted hair), jatila, Munda, the one who consumes the cremation ground, the one who observes the vrat fast, Rudra, Yogi, Param Darun, Dakshayagya-destroyer and Bhagnetrahari etc. have many names.

One must know that Lord Rudra is Lord Narayana's form. In every era, only Lord Narayana who is capable of worshipping Devadhidev Maheshwar is worshipped. I am the soul of the entire world. That's why I first worship my soul form Rudra. I believe that if I do not worship Lord Shiva, the soul form, then no one else will worship Shankara in his form. Everyone follows my work considering it as an example. Only those gods whose worshipability is certified by the Vedas and scriptures should be worshipped. Thinking like this, I worship Rudradeva. He who knows Rudra knows me. The one who follows him also follows me. Both Rudra and Narayana are the same form, who take two forms and reside in different persons. Everyone in the world is engaged in yagya etc. and earning money. Arjun, No one else can give me a boon; Thinking this, I worshipped the Purana Purusha Jagdishwar Rudra in my form to get a son. Vishnu does not worship any other deity except Rudra in his form; That's why I worship Rudra. All the gods including Brahma, Rudra, Indra and sages worship the best Narayanadeva Sri Hari. Lord Vishnu is the foremost among all the men who existed in the past, future and present. Therefore, everyone should always serve and worship him. You salute Lord Vishnu, the giver of blessings, and bow your head to Sri Hari, the giver of refuge. You have heard from me that Arta, Jigyasu, Artharthi and Gyani these four types of people are my devotees. Among these, those who worship me alone and do not consider other gods as their worshippers, are the best.

I am the ultimate destination of those devotees who perform all their deeds selflessly. The remaining three types of devotees are considered to be those who wish for fruits. Therefore, all of them are going to fall - after enjoying the virtues, they are lost from the heavenly worlds, but the devotee of Gyani gets the best result (Bhagavadprapti). A knowledgeable devotee, while serving Brahma, Shiva and other gods selflessly, ultimately attains me, the Supreme Soul. This is what I have told you about the difference between devotees. 

You and I both are sages named Nara-Narayana and we have entered the human body to take off the burden of the earth. I know spiritual yoga and I also know who I am and where I came from. Pravrittidharma, the seeker of worldly awakening, and Nivruttidharma, which provides the selfless, are also not unknown to me. I am the only eternal man, Narayana, the well-known shelter of all human beings.

Because of its origin in Nara, water is called Nara & Nara (water) is my ayana (abode), which is why I am called 'Narayana'. (The one who is present in every one or who is the abode of someone is called 'Vasu'.) I, having taken the form of the Sun, have spread the entire world with my rays. I do this and I am the abode of all living beings; That's why my name is 'Vasudeva'. I am the place of movement and origin of all living beings. I have spread the sky and the earth. My radiance is greater than anything else. I am also the Brahma whom all living beings desire to attain in the end. I am situated transcending everyone. Due to all these reasons my name has become 'Vishnu'. Human beings through desiring to achieve Siddhi want to attain me through Dama (control of senses). Through Dama only they aspire to attain a high position in the earth, heaven and intermediate worlds, hence I am called 'Damodara'.

Dama eva Damah 

Tena Udiryati Unnanti 

Prapnoti Yasmat 

sa Damodarah

- This is the derivation of the word Damodara.

Food, Vedas, water and nectar are called Prishni. They always remain in my womb; That's why my name is 'Prishnigarbha'. 

{'Vicchha Gatau' (Tudadi), 'Vicchha Diptau' (Churaadi), 'Vishu Sechne' (Bhvaadi), 'Vishtha Vyaptau' (Juhotyadi), 'Vishva Praveshne' (Tudadi), 'Shnu Prasravane' (Madadi) all these The word 'Vishnu' is accomplished through dhatus, hence the meanings of Gati, Deepti, sechan, byapti, prabesh and prasarvan are all contained in the word 'Vishnu'.}

When Tritamuni was thrown into the well by his brothers, at that time the sages prayed to me, "Prishnigarbha! You save the dropped Trita from drowning by Ekata and Dwita. At that time, due to my repeated kirtan of the name 'Prishnigarbha', Rishi Trita, the Adi son of Brahma, came out of that well. 

Know the full story of Sage Ekata, Dwita and Trita..

The sun that heats the world, the fire and the rays of the moon that shine are all called my hair. Because of having that hair, the omniscient Dwijashreshtha calls me 'Keshav'.

Arjun In this way my name is a boon for all the gods and great sages.

PRAVRITTI NIVRITTI EXPLAINED BY VYASA

Vyasji's telling to his disciples the secret of the teachings of Pravritti and Nivrittirup Dharma told by Lord Brahma to the deities

After Yudhisthira was crowned as King of Hastinapur, Lord Krishna freed amazing Bhishma from all of his sufferings before his death and asked him to alleviate Yudhisthira from mourning over the lifeless Kshatriyas by the way of advising him on Dharma. Bhishma told him about Pravritti and Nivritti.

Sage Shaunaka said to Sutanandan, that Lord Narayana of the Vedas is considered to be the one who takes the first part in the yagyas and he is also said to be the seven God of the Vedas and the Vedangas, the constant performer of yagyas. How are both the performance and salvation of Yagya possible in the same God? Lord Narayana himself is situated in Nivruttidharma and has prescribed Nivruttidharma.In this way, despite being dependent on Nivritdharma, why did he give the deities the right to participate in Pravrittidharma i.e. Yagya rituals and what caused the sages to become detached from subjects and become devoted to religion? This deep doubt always arises in our mind, you solve it; Because you have heard many religious stories of Lord Narayana. 

Sutaputra narrated to Shaunaka a question related to the Puranas that King Janamejaya had asked the wise Vyasji's disciple Vaishampayanji. Janmejaya said, "All these people, including Brahma, the gods, the demons and humans, are seen to be engrossed in the activities prescribed for worldly ascension. But you have described salvation as ultimate peace. Those who are free, from virtue and sin, enter Lord Narayana. But this eternal salvation seems to be very difficult. Don't you know your path to salvation created by God? So that we do not take refuge in the path that is pure, decayless and imperishable?

Vaishampayanji said, "Gurudev Maharishi Shri Krishnadvaipayana Vyas, who expanded the Vedas, had told me when I asked in earlier times. Apart from these three, Sumantu, Jaimini and Pail, who firmly observe the best fast, I am the fourth disciple of Vyasji and the fifth disciple is considered to be his son Shukdev. These five disciples are full of sense control and mental control, combined with cleanliness and good conduct, free from anger and Jitendriya. Vyas ji made all these disciples who came in his service to study the four Vedas and the fifth Veda Mahabharata. While practising the Vedas on the beautiful peak of Girivara Meru, served by the Siddhas and Charanas, the same doubt which you have asked today arose in the minds of all of us disciples. I had also heard the answer that Vyasji gave to us disciples from his mouth. I have to tell you the same today.

Parasharanandan Shri Vyasji said, "The best disciple among sages! Once upon a time, I performed rigorous penance to gain knowledge of the past, future and present. When I had completed my penance by controlling my senses, then by the grace of Lord Narayana, on the banks of Kshirsagara, I received the knowledge of all three Kaals as per my wish. I am telling you the story that happened at the beginning of Kalpa and which I saw with knowledge. 

Those whom the scholars of Sankhya and Yoga call God, bear the name of great man due to the influence of their actions. From him, the Avyakta was born, he is also known by scholars as Purusha Pradhan. For the creation of the world, the same great man and Avyakta was born, who is called Aniruddha and the great soul in all the worlds. The same Aniruddha, who attained Vyaktabhava, created Grandfather Brahma. Brahma is full of light and he is called the universal ego. Earth, air, sky, water and light - these five subtle and great entities were born from ego. Brahma, in the form of ego, created the five great elements and then created their qualities like word, touch etc. Listen to the names of the embodied beings who were born from those ghosts: Marichi, Angira, Atri, Pulastya, Pulaha, Ritu, and Mahatma. Vashishtha and Swayambhuva Manu.

One should know the nature of these eight, in which the entire world is established. Lokapitamaha Brahma has created the Vedas,  Yashva with Yajnyagi for the sustenance of the entire world. This entire world has come into existence from the above-mentioned eight natures. Rudra has emerged from the anger of Brahmaji. That Rudra himself has also created ten other Rudras. Thus, these are the eleven Rudras, who are considered to be Vikarapurusha. Those eleven Rudras, eight Prakriti and all the gods, who were born for the protection of the people, appeared in the service of Brahmaji and said, 'Lord! Grandfather! You are a great influencer. You are the one who created these people. Whichever of us has to engage in any right or action and the material rights that have been instructed by you, how can be followed by an egoistic person? Give the power to perform the duty to the man who thinks about that right and purpose. 

Brahmaji said, Deities! You have given me a good suggestion! The same worry that has arisen in your heart has arisen in my heart also. How should the authorized work of the three worlds be carried out and how should your and my power not be depleted? Let us all go from here to the shelter of the great man Narayana-Deva. Thereafter, all those sages and deities went with Lord Brahma to the north bank of Kshirasagara with a concern for the welfare of the entire world. There, as per Brahmaji's instructions, they all started the harshest penance as per the Vedas. Their eyes were looking upward, arms were also raised upwards. Their mind was concentrated. All of them were standing on one leg. After performing rigorous penance for a thousand divine years, they heard a sweet voice adorned with the Vedas. 

Shri Bhagwan said, "Oh Gods and sages like Brahma and others who are rich in penance! I welcome you all. What is your purpose? It is extremely beneficial for the entire world. You should follow Dharma based on Pravritti. your life will be nutritious and energy-enhancing. You have done huge penance. You will enjoy the best fruits of that penance. May this great Guru of the entire world, Lokpitamaha Brahma and all you great gods be concentrated and worship me through the Yagya. All of you always keep offering your part in yagyas for me. If this happens, I will continue to preach the path of welfare to you as per your rights.

Hearing these words of Lord Narayana, all those Gods, sages and Brahmaji performed the Vaishnava Yagya ritual as per the Vedas. In that yagya, Lord Brahma himself fixed a share for the Lord. In the same way, the Gods and Goddesses also fixed their respective portions for the Lord. The portions of the best Yagya fixed according to the justice of Satyayuga were greatly appreciated by everyone. The sages say that Narayana is as bright as the Sun, beyond the darkness of ignorance, omnipresent, all-pervading, God is the giver of blessings and omnipotent. After the yajna part was decided, Narayandeva said, Gods! I got the share that was decided for us in the same form. I will grant you boons. By my grace, you will have similar symptoms. In every era, by performing Yagya combined with good Dakshina, you will be a participant in the fruits of Dharma in the form of nature. The people who perform Yagya in all the worlds will decide the Yagya portion for you as per the teachings of the Vedas. The share which deities have decided for me in this great yagya, they have been made the rightful share of the yagya by me in the Vedic sutra.

By taking part in the yagya, you should be inclined to give its fruits to the host and as per your authority in the world, think about all the wishes of everyone, and make everyone prosperous. The yagya-activities which are strengthened by the pravritti-phala, which will be propagated in the world, will increase your strength and by becoming strong, you will nourish the entire world. In all the yagyas, people will make you prosperous and strong by performing yagya for you, then you too will make me strong in the same way. For this, I have created the Vedas and Yagyas along with medicines (foods, fruits etc.). By performing these rituals properly on earth, all the Gods will be satisfied. I have created you with instinctive qualities, hence Lords of the world! Until the Kalpa ends, you people should continue to think about the welfare of the people as per your rights.

Marichi, Angira, Atri, Pulastya, Pulah, Ritu and Vasistha - these seven sages were created from the mind by Lord Brahma. They are the main Veda experts and followers of religion. All of them have been considered Vedacharyas and have been established in the post of Prajapati. They have revealed the eternal path to the devout men. The powerful man who creates the worlds through this method has been called Aniruddha. 'Sana, Sanatsujata, Sanaka, Sanandan, Sanatkumar, Kapil and the seventh Sanatan - these seven sages are also said to be the mental sons of Brahma. 

They know and are situated in Nivritti-Dharma. They are prominent Yoga expert, Sankhyagyan-Visharad, an expert in religious scriptures, Acharya and promoter of Mokshadharma. In the past, the great threefold ego that had emerged from the unmanifested nature, whose state is far beyond it, is considered to be the knower of the entire conscious sphere(Kshetregya). I am that sphere. Those who are dedicated to work, are re-instinctive; Therefore, this path of Nivritti is rare for them. The way the creature was created and whatever activity or activity he engages in, he reaps its great rewards. Brahma is the original creator and lord of the world. He is your parents and grandfather. At my command According to him, he will be the one who grants boons to all the bhutas. The Rudra who was born from his forehead is also his (Brahmaji's) son. With the permission of Lord Brahma, they will be able to protect all the bhutas. All of you go and follow your respective rights properly. All Vedic rituals should become prevalent all over the world without any delay. As per the living beings' deeds, the gatis they get according to those deeds and you Grant them life till the appointed time. This is the best time called Satyayuga. In this era, there is no violence against sacrificial animals. Nothing happens here contrary to non-violence. Gods! In this Satyayuga, a complete religion consisting of all four stages will be followed. Thereafter, Tretayuga will come, in which the Vedas will be propagated. In that era, the animals purified by mantras were slaughtered in yajna and one foot of the fourth part of the religion will be reduced. After that, Dwapar Yuga will arrive.

That time will be full of a mixture of religion and unrighteousness. In that era, two feet of religion would be destroyed. After that, Kaliyuga will begin in Pushya Nakshatra. At that time only one foot of religion will be left there. Then the Gods and Goddesses said to the Lord, "Lord! What will we have to do when in Kaliyuga only one stage of Dharma will be left anywhere? Shri Bhagwan said, "You should stay only in those countries where Vedas, Yagya, penance, truth, restraint of senses and non-violence are prevalent. By doing this, unrighteousness will not be able to touch you even with its single foot. Vyasaji said, "Disciples! After receiving this advice from God, the gods along with the sages saluted him and went to their desired countries.

When the heavenly gods left, Brahmaji alone remained standing there. He wanted to see Lord Srihari situated in Aniruddha Vigraha. Then God appeared in the form of the great Hayagriva and appeared before Lord Brahma. He was reciting the Vedas along with holding Kamandalu and Tridanda. At that time, after seeing the infinitely powerful Lord Hayagriva, Lord Brahma, the creator of the world, bowed his head to him with the desire for the welfare of the entire world and stood with folded hands in front of him.

Then God took him heartily and told him, "Brahmin! You should think systematically about all the actions of the entire world and the movements resulting from them; Because you are the creator of all living beings, you are the Lord of all and you are the Guru of this world. By placing this burden on you, I will become patient without any effort. Whenever the work of the gods becomes unbearable for you, then I will appear before you to preach enlightenment. Saying this, Lord Hayagriva disappeared there. After receiving this advice from God, Brahma also soon went to his world. In this way, the great eternal Lord has been described as the first enjoyer of the yagyas and always the nurturer and promoter of the yagyas. Sometimes they take refuge in the Nivriti dharma of Akshayadharmi Mahatmas and sometimes by considering the strange mindset of the people, they establish Pravritti dharma. He is the beginning, middle and end of Narayan's people. He is the subject, object, subject and action. It is he who, after destroying the entire world, falls asleep at the time of the end. And it is he who is awake at the beginning of the Kalpa and creates the entire world. Disciples! You salute the formless Supreme Soul Narayandev who is the unborn, the form of the world, and the shelter of all the gods. He is the ruler of the great bhutas and the master of the Rudras, Adityas and Vasus. Greet them.

He is the lord of the Ashwini Kumars, the guardian of the Vedas the master of Yagyas and also the master of the Vedas. Salutations to the peaceful Sri Hari, who always resides in the ocean, whose hair is like a pearl and who preaches the path of salvation to all living beings. Salute to Shri Hari who is the owner and daily protector of penance, brilliance, fame, speech and rivers. Always pay obeisance to Shri Narayanadev, who is adorned with hair, the one-horned boar, the intelligent Vivaswan, Hayagriva and the one with all four forms.

Salute those Sri Haris who are seen only with the eyes of knowledge and are in the form of letters. This imperishable Narayanadeva spreads everywhere; They have gati everywhere. Vaishampayanji said , "Janamejaya! The most intelligent Ved Vyas gave similar advice to all of us disciples and his most religious son Shukdeva.

NARADA GOT DARSHAN OF GOD ON SHWETA DWIPA

Narada Sees Lord Narayana & Lord Explains His Forms To him

After Yudhisthira was crowned as King of Hastinapur, Lord Krishna freed amazing Bhishma from all of his sufferings before his death and asked him to alleviate Yudhisthira from mourning over the lifeless Kshatriyas by the way of advising him on Dharma. 

Bhishma said to Yudhisthira, After reaching the great Shwetadweep, when Devarshi Narada saw those men there who were as radiant as the moon, he worshipped them in his heart. The people of Shwetadweep also honoured Naradji. Then, with the desire to see God, they started chanting God's name and living there following strict rules. Naradji raised both his arms became concentrated and started praising Lord Narayana, with two hundred names.

In this way, Naradji praised God in the name of Guhya and Satya, and then God took Viswaroop's form and appeared before him. His form was more unique than some moons. Some were as bright as fire and the stars. It was green like a parrot's feather, at some places it was as bright as a crystal, at some places it was black as a black stone and at some places, it was as bright as gold. In some places, he was like the newly-born Pallava. At some places, a white complexion was visible, a golden glow was visible and at some places, a shade like that of Vaiduryamani was scattered.

Somewhere blue colour, somewhere indigo sapphire, somewhere the colors like peacock's neck and somewhere the glow like pearl necklace were visible. Lord Sri Hari had thousands of eyes, heads, legs,  stomachs and hands. They were endowed with extraordinary radiance and at some places their form was invisible. With one mouth, that Narayana was chanting Omkar and the Gayatri related to it and with the other mouth he was singing the four Vedas and their Aranyakabhaga.

At that time, Lord Vishnu was holding Yagyavedi, Kamandalu, shining gems, Upanaha, Kusha, deerskin, wooden sticks and burning fire in his hands. Narad ji, lying at the feet with his head bowed. Shri Bhagwan said, "Maharishi Ekata, Dwita and Trita had also come to this place with the desire of seeing me, but they could not get my darshan. No one except a dedicated devotee can see me. You are the best among my exclusive devotees; That is why you have seen me. Those four brothers who have incarnated in the family of Dharma, Nara-Narayana are my form. Therefore, you should always worship him. I, the immortal God of the universe, am pleased with you today; Therefore, whatever you want from me, ask for it."

Naradji said that when he got the darshan of the Lord, he immediately got the results of penance, yama and niyama. God again said to Naradji,'' These devotees of mine, who are as radiant as the moon, devoid of senses and food, can think of me with concentration and there is no disturbance of any kind in their meditation. 'All these Mahabhagas who reside here have become sidhyas. They have been my ardent devotee even before. They are free from Tamoguna and Rajoguna; They will undoubtedly enter me only.

Which cannot be seen by the eyes, which cannot be touched by the skin, which cannot be smelled by the organ, which is beyond the reach of the rasanendriya; on which the qualities called Sattva, Raja and Tama cannot have any effect, which is omnipresent, witness and complete. It is called the soul of the world, which itself does not get destroyed even after the destruction of all the living beings, It has been described as unborn, eternal, qualityless and free, which is famous as the twenty-fifth element beyond the twenty-four elements, which is known as the inner man, inert and It is said that it is possible to see only with the eyes of knowledge, by entering which the best Dwijas are freed here, that is the eternal God. He should be known by the name Vasudev. 'Sattva, Raja and Tama are said to be the three gunas, which are present in the entire body. These gunas are enjoyed by the Kshetrajna himself, but the Kshetrajna is not enjoyed by these gunas; because he is nirguna, the enjoyer of the gunas, the creator of the gunas and is superior to the gunas. It is the one on which this entire world is based. 

The earth merges into water. There is rhythm in the water and brilliance in the air. Air flows into the sky, sky merges with the mind. The mind is a transcendent being. It is the passive male form of the unmanifested. There is no other thing superior to that eternal man. Apart from that one eternal man Vasudev, there is no living bhutta in the world. Mahabali Vasudev is the soul of all the bhuttas. Earth, water, light, air and sky are the five great elements. All those great elements together take the name of the body. At that time, the fast-moving conscious being who enters it invisible is the living soul.

It is said to be born only when it enters the body. It is He who makes the body active. It is He who is capable of operating it. There is nobody anywhere without the combined community of the five elements. Without the living being the vital air does not make any effort. That living being itself is called Shesha or God Sankarshana. Who, arising from the same attraction or living being, attains sanatkumaratva (liberation of the soul) through his actions meditation, worship etc. in which all living beings attain rhythm and decay, That mind of all the beings is called 'Pradyumna'. The one who has originated from that Pradyumna, Tanmatra Adi Karta, is the work of reason and significance. 

From Him, the entire living world originates. He is called 'Anirudha' and 'Ishaan'. That (in the form of pride of doing) is expressed in all the actions. Lord Vasudev, who has been described as the knower of knowledge and as capable of being known as Nirguna, is the soul in the form of effective attraction. Due to contraction, Pradyumna has emerged, which is called Manomaya. Aniruddha who has appeared from Pradyumna is the ego and God. It is from me that the entire living and movable world originates. Kshara Akshara and Asata have appeared from me only. Those who are my devotees here become free only by entering into me. I am without qualities, without any impurities, beyond any duality and free from attachment. You should not think that because they are beautiful, they are visible; I can disappear in a moment if I wish; Because I am the God and Guru of the entire world.

Narada! You who are looking at me, I have created an illusion in this form. You should not consider me as possessing the qualities of all living beings. I have described my four forms Vasudev, Sankarshana etc. very well in front of you. I am famous by the name Jeeva, the state of Jeeva is in Me only, But such a thought should not arise in your mind that I have seen the living being.

I am omnipresent and the soul of the entire living community. I am not destroyed even if the entire bhuttas and bodies are destroyed. Brahma, who is the original, four-faced, indescribable form, Hiranyagarbha and eternal deity of the entire world, is the one who thinks about my many works.

Due to my anger, my own Rudradeva has appeared from my forehead. Look, these eleven Rudras are seated on my right side. Similarly, twelve Adityas are sitting on my left side. The eight Vasus are present in the foreground. See all this firsthand. Look behind also, where Nasatya and Dasra - both the Devvaidya Ashwinikumars are situated. Apart from these, see all the Prajapatis, seven sages, complete Vedas, hundreds of yagyas, medicines and nectars in my various parts. Asceticism and various types of Yama-Niyamas are also manifested here. Eight types of opulence are also manifested in physical form here at one place, Shri, Lakshmi, Kirti, the earth along with the mountains and Vedamata Saraswati Devi also reside within me, see them all. Narada! Among these constellations, the best celestial pole is visible, look towards them also.

See the clouds, the sea, the lakes and the streams also as embodied within me. All four types of ancestors are also physically manifested and have darshan of them also. “Look at these three idol-less qualities present in my body as idols. The work of ancestors is better than the work of God. I alone am the father of the Gods and the ancestors. I, having assumed the form of Hayagriva, live on the northwest side of the sea and also drink the offerings made in the prescribed manner and the poems dedicated to me with devotion. In earlier times, Brahma, who was created by me, had himself performed the Yagya Purusha for me. Pleased with this, I gave him excellent boons. Those boons are as follows, “Brahma! You will be born as my son at the beginning of every Kalpa. You will get the post of Lok-Dyaksha. No one will violate the limits set by you.

You will be able to give a boon to the seekers who want it. Mahabhag Tapodhan who observes strict fast! You will always be worshipable by gods, demons, sages, ancestors and various types of creatures. When I want to accomplish the work of the gods In those days when I incarnate, you always rule over me and appoint me in every work like a son. To be beyond all karma is the ultimate retirement. Therefore, all those who have attained nivriti are like this. Let's move around. 'The Acharyas who establish the principles of Sankhyashastra call me Kapil, equipped with the help of knowledge, situated in the solar system and having an equanimous mind. Lord Hiranyagarbha, who is praised in the Vedas, is my form! I am also the famous man-special God of Yogashastra in whom Yogis rejoice.

At this time I am situated in the sky in the form of the eternal God. Then, after one thousand Chaturyugas have passed, I will destroy this world. At that time, having absorbed all the living beings in me, I will roam alone in the deserted world with my power of knowledge. 'After that, when the time of creation comes, I will create all the living creatures of the world with the help of that Vidya Shakti. Among the four idols of mine, the fourth Basudev idol has created the imperishable Shesha. That remainder is called Sankarshan. Sankarshan has manifested Pradyumna and from Pradyumna has emerged Aniruddha. I am all that. This expanse of creation that arises again and again is mine only.

Brahma was born from my Aniruddha idol, who appeared from my navel. All pastimes from Brahma Are bhuttas have arisen. I manifest this creation again and again at the beginning of the Kalpa and the end I destroy it. This sequence of creation and destruction continues like this.

Just as Amit Tejaswi forcefully brings the sun back into sight after its disappearance, in the same way, I also bring this earth up from the waters of the ocean for the benefit of all living beings. 

Thereafter Naradji Asked Lord, "Lord! In which forms should you be seen and remembered? Lord Shri said, "Narada! You listen to the names of my incarnations - Matsya, Kurma, Varaha, Narasimha, Vamana, Parashurama, Shrirama, Balrama, Shri Krishna and Kalki - these are the ten incarnations. First I will appear in the form of 'Matsya' and will establish all the subjects in a fearless state. I will protect the world and the Vedas from drowning in the ocean. My second incarnation will be Kurma-Kachhapa. At that time I will assume the form of a tortoise Mount Hemakoot. When the deities will churn the ocean of milk for nectar; Then I will bear Mandarachala on my back.

When this earth, which has all its parts filled with living beings and which is surrounded by the ocean, will be submerged under the heavy weight of the ocean, at that time I will take the form of Varaha and bring it back to its place. At the same time, I kill a demon named Hiranyaksha who died with pride. I will take the form of a lion and kill the destroyer of yajnas, Diti's son Hiranyakashipu. Virochana will have a strong son, who will be famous by the name of Mahasura Bali. Even the entire world including deities, demons will not be able to kill him. He will defeat Indra from the kingdom. When he kidnaps Triloki and Lord Indra will turn his back on the battle, at that time I will appear as Vamana, the twelfth Aditya from the womb of Kashyapa and Aditya. At that time, everyone will praise me and I will go to Bali's Yagya Mandap in the form of a Brahmachari with matted hair and will praise his Yagya profusely, hearing which Bali will be very happy. When he asks what do I want?' Then I will tell that great demon to give me only three steps of land. 

He will also give it to me. I will measure the Triloki with three feet and dedicate its entire kingdom to the immortal Lord Indra. Narada! In this way, all the gods have their place But I will install it. Besides, Bali, the demon who was the best among all the deities, will also become a resident of the underworld.

Then in Tretayuga, I will appear in the form of Parashurama and will rule over the Kshatriya clan. Thereafter, in the Treta I will be present, at that time I will incarnate in the form of Lord Dasharthanandan Rama. Due to the betrayal of a sage named Trita, Ekata and Dwita, the two sons of Prajapati will be given the form of a sage in the form of a monkey. The forest monkeys who will be born in the lineage of both of them will be very strong, mighty and capable of displaying valour equal to that of Indra. They will be my helpers in accomplishing the work of God. Thereafter, I will kill the terrible demon king Ravana, who will be dreadful for the entire world, along with his gang. Then when the time of Dwapara and Kaliki Sandhi passes, I will incarnate in Mathura to kill Kansa.

At that time, after killing Kansa, Keshi, Kalamura, the great demon Arishtasura, the mighty Chanura, the mighty Mutika, Pralamba, Dhenukasura and the giant Arishta in the form of a tree, I will conquer the great mountain Govardhana for seven days and nights, by subduing Kaliyanaga and protecting the cows while Indra rained on Gokulama, situated in the huge pond of Yamuna. I will hold it with my hand like an umbrella. When the rain stops, I will sit on the top of the mountain and communicate with Indra. There I will kill many Devkantaka demons and will establish Kushasthali by the name of Dwarkapuri and will reside there. Staying there, I will kill the demons named Narakasura, Mura and Peetha, who are displeasing to Goddess Aditya, and in the beautiful city called Pragjyotishpura, which is full of various types of wealth, I will kill the demon king Naraka and take all its glory to Kusasthali. I will also save King Nrigka who is in the womb of a chameleon. In the same incarnation of his grandson Anirudha For this purpose, I will go to Shonitpura, the capital of Banasura, and cause great destruction to the Asura army there. When Lord Shankara and Kartikeya, the world-renowned deity who is Banasur's favourite and well-wisher, get ready to fight with me, then I will defeat both of them. Thereafter, by defeating Banasura, the son of Bali, adorned with a thousand arms, I will destroy all the warriors living in the Saubha Vimana of Shalva.

The famous demon named Kalayavana, who was born powerful due to the power of Gargacharya, will be killed only by me. In Girivraja, there will be a very rich and powerful demon king named Jarasandha, who will keep enmity with all the kings. He will also be killed by my intellectual efforts. All the powerful kings of the world will come to the yagya of Dharmaputra Yudhishthira, among them I will kill Shishupala. 

The only Indrakumar Arjun will be my friend and beautiful helper. I will restore King Yudhishthira along with his brothers to the throne. The people of that time will say that this God-like man and the sage named Narayana have come together and are destroying the Kshatriya community for the welfare of the people.  

According to the wish of the Earth Goddess, after removing her burden, I will destroy all the Yadav-headed people of Dwarka and will commit a grave act of destruction of my race. Having assumed the four forms of Shri Krishna, Balabhadra, Pradyumna and Aniruddha, I will perform innumerable deeds and go to my abode honoured by Lord Brahma. Matshya, Kurma, Matsya, Varaha, Narasimha, Vamana, Parashuram, Dashrathanandan Rama, Yaduvanshi Shri Krishna and Kalki - all these are my incarnations. Whenever the Vedas and scriptures have become clear, I have once again brought them into light by taking incarnation. I was the one who had revealed the scriptures including the Vedas in the first Satyayuga. You must have heard about my previous incarnations in the Puranas. I have had many excellent incarnations.

Those incarnations have returned to their original form after completing the work of public welfare. Because of your immense devotion towards me, the form which you have seen here today, till now even Brahma has not been able to see such a form of mine. You are the one who has devotion towards me, that is why I have described to you all the past and future incarnations with secrets. 

Saying these words, Lord Narayana, vanished again there.

Meanwhile, after getting the desired grace of God, the great and brilliant Naradji also proceeded towards Badarika-Shrama to have the darshan of Nara-Narayana. This great Upanishad is full of the four Vedas. It is full of the principles of Sankhya and Yoga. It is famous by the name of Pancharatra Aagama. It has been sung from the mouth of Sakshat Narayana. This story later was explained by Narada in the palace of Lord Brahma. King Shantanu had told this to Bhishma.

UPARICHARA VASU WENT TO HELL FOR AGREEING TO SACRIFICE OF GOAT IN YAGNA

Sages & Deities argues on sacrificing Food or Goat in Yagna, Uparichara supports the deities and faces consequences

After Yudhisthira was crowned as King of Hastinapur, Lord Krishna freed amazing Bhishma from all of his sufferings before his death and asked him to alleviate Yudhisthira from mourning over the lifeless Kshatriyas by the way of advising him on Dharma. 

Yudhishthir asked Bhishma despite being a great devotee of God and a great man, how did King Uparichara Vasu fall from heaven and enter the underworld? In response, Bhishma said this ancient history in the form of dialogues between sages and deities.

Yagya should be performed through 'Ajja', such is the rule.' Having said this, the deities said to all the great Brahma rishis presented there, 'Here ajja should be understood to mean goat and not any other animal, this is certain. The sages said, "Deities! yagyas should be performed with seeds, such as the Vedic shruti. The name of the seeds itself is 'Ajja'. Therefore, it is not right for us to kill the goat. Deities! Wherever there is killing of animals in glory, it is not the duty of good men. Great Satyayuga is going on. How can an animal be killed in this?" 

Thus, when the sages were having a conversation with the deities, at the same time King Uparichara Vasu, came that way. King used to travel through the sky with his army and Vahan. Seeing Vasu arriving, the Brahma rishis said to the deities that the king would remove their doubts because he was the one who performed yagnas, was charitable, the best and the well-wisher and beloved of all the bhutas & could not say words contrary to the scriptures. Having agreed thus, the deities and the sages came and asked the king, "By whom should the Yagya be performed? By a goat or by food? Please clear our doubt."

Then King Vasu while folding his hands, asked them, "Please tell me truthfully, which among you wants which opinion? Who believes that Ajja means goat and who believes that it means food? The sage said as per them it should be achieved through food and as per deities goat. King Vasu, after knowing the opinion of the deities, took their side and agreed with the sacrifice of the goat.

Hearing this, all the sages became angry and said to Vasu, "You are speaking on the side of the deities while sitting on the vimana! Even after knowing that Ajja means food, you have taken the side of the deities; Therefore fall from heaven. From today onwards your power to roam in the sky has been destroyed. Due to our curse, you will enter the underworld. If you have spoken against the Vedas and sutras, then this curse of ours will be applied and if we have spoken words contrary to the scriptures, then we will fall." As soon as the sages said this, at that very moment King Uparichara came down from the sky. went and immediately entered the patala.

Even at that time, because of the approval of Lord Narayana, his memory power could not leave him. All the deities started thinking of a way to free the king from the curse. They spoke to each other That the great virtuous king has received this curse because of them. They went to Uparichara and said, "King! You are a devotee of Lord Vishnu and he is the guru of all the deities and demons. His heart is satisfied with you; Therefore, he will free you from the curse. You should always respect Brahmins. Certainly, this is the result of their penance; Because of which you suddenly fell from the sky and went to the underworld. We offer you a favour of ours. As long as you remain in the depths of the earth due to the curse, you will continue to receive the offerings of Vasundhara given in yagyas by the concentrated Brahmins. Guilt will not be able to touch you and even while living in this hell, you will not suffer from hunger and thirst; Because by drinking Vasudhara your radiance will continue to increase. May Lord Shri Hari be pleased with our boon and take you to Brahmaloka."

Thereafter Basu started worshipping Lord Vishvaksena and started continuously chanting the mantra 'Om Namo Narayanaya' that appeared from the mouth of Lord Narayana. While living there in the depths of the underworld, Uparichara used to worship Shri Hari five times a day by performing five yagnas. He had conquered his mind and was always engaged in the worship of the Lord. Lord Narayana was very satisfied with the devotion of his devotee. Then Lord Vishnu, said to Garuda, "You go to King Vasu, who observes a strict fast. He has entered the underworld due to the anger of the Brahmins. Yet he has always respected the best Brahmins; Therefore, you go to him. By my permission, make him fly in the sky soon." 

After receiving this command, great Garuda flew and entered the underworld where King Vasu was seated. Garuda suddenly picked up the king from there, immediately flew into the sky and left him there. At that very moment, King Uparichara Vasu again appeared 'Upari-chara'. Then he went to Brahmaloka.

EKATA EXPLAINED TO BRIHASPATI THE REASON BEHIND HIM NOT GETTING DARSHAN OF SUPREME GOD

The Religious nature of King Uparichara Vasu, Creation Of Scriptures, Brihaspati getting angry for not getting darshan of Lord Narayana during Yagna and Ekata, Dwita & Trita talks about Shweta Dweep

After Yudhisthira was crowned as King of Hastinapur, Lord Krishna freed amazing Bhishma from all of his sufferings before his death and asked him to alleviate Yudhisthira from mourning over the lifeless Kshatriyas by the way of advising him on Dharma. Yudhisthira asked Pitamaha, Why are the men living in Shwetdweep devoid of senses, food and movements? Why does a beautiful smell emanate from their bodies? How did they originate and what is the best Gati they attain? The characteristics of the people who are freed from this world are described in the scriptures and are the same for Shweta Dweep.

Bhishma said, Once upon a time, a king named Uparichara ruled this earth. He was Indra's friend and was a famous devotee of Lord Narayana. There was a complete absence of laziness in him. In ancient times, he had inherited the empire of Bhumandala from the grace of Lord Narayana.

Taking shelter of the Vaishnav scriptures which had first appeared from the mouth of Lord Surya, he would first worship the Supreme God Lord Narayana. Then, with the things left over from his service, he used to perform Padishatkara for the ancestors, brahmins and other dependents. He Used to eat leftover food after giving it to everyone, remained engaged in truth and did not commit violence against any living being. 

Devraj Indra was pleased with the king. He used to make him sit on a bed and a seat with him. King Uparichar had dedicated his kingdom, wealth, wife vahaans etc. considering them all to be the property of God. He was always careful and performed all the activities of Sakama and Naimittika Yagya according to the method prescribed in Vaishnava Shastra. The main scholars of Pancharatra Shastra were always present in the house of that Mahatma King and they used to be the first to eat the Prasada. 

(Marichi, Atri, Angira, Pulastya, Pulah, Ritu and the brilliant Vasistha are the seven famous sages called Chitrashikhandi.  unanimously preached and created the excellent scripture on Mahagiri Meru, which is as respectable and authentic as the four Vedas. In it, the best folk religion manifested from seven faces has been explained. These seven sages are the seven forms of nature, that is, they are the creators of the people. The eighth is Brahma. All these together hold this entire world.

The scriptures have been revealed through them. All of them are focused, alert, self-controlled, knowledgeable of the past, future and present and always engaged in the true religion. He composed the scriptures. In it, first, there is the description of Dharma, Artha and Kama, then also of Moksha and various types of dignity prevalent in heaven and the mortal world have been propounded. The above-mentioned sages along with other sages have given a thousand divine teachings. They worshipped Lord Narayana by doing extreme penance. Pleased with them, for the wellbeing of the world, God sent Goddess Saraswati to enter inside them. Then those ascetic Brahmins used words and speech full of meanings. Omkar swara has been used in the beginning of that scripture itself. Wherever the sages first recited that scripture, the compassionate God was present there.

Thereafter, Lord Purushottama, present in the inexpressible body, became pleased and spoke to all those sages while remaining invisible, "Sages! You people have created this excellent scripture of one lakh verses. On the subject of Pravritti and Nivrutti, this will be as authentic as a book approved by the mantras of Rik, Yajuh, Sama and Atharva Veda. As the Brahma born from my Prasada is evident And like Rudra born out of anger, you all Prajapati, Sun, Moon, air, land, water, fire, all the constellations and Brahmavadi sages, behaving according to their respective rights, are considered to be authentic. Similarly, this excellent scripture created by you will also be considered authentic, this is my approval.

Swayambhuva Manu himself will preach righteousness according to this book. When Shukracharya and Brihaspati appear, Then they too will preach this scripture emanating from your intellect. When the religious scriptures of Manu, the scriptures of Shukracharya and the teachings of Brihaspati will be publicized in the world, then the king Uparichara Vasu will study this scripture. That king will be a great devotee of mine and will do all the work in the world according to the same scriptures. Saying such a thing invisibly, Lord Purushottam left all those sages there and went in some unknown direction.

Prajapatis propagated eternal scripture, the foundation of religion, in the world. Then in the initial era of Adi Kalpa, when Brihaspati appeared, he taught them that scripture along with Sangopanga Veda and Upanishads. Thereafter, those sages who propagated all the religions and established all the worlds within the limits of religion decided to do penance and went to their desired destination.)

Subsequently, at the beginning of the bygone great Kalpa, Angira's son Brihaspati was born and became the priest of the deities. Brihata, Brahma and Mahata these three words have the same meaning. The qualities of these three words were present in the priest; That is why that scholar was called 'Deva guru Brihaspati'.

His best disciple was King Uparichara Vasu, who studied the Tantrashastra prepared by Chitrashikhandiya from him in those days. Once the king organized a great Ashwamedha Yagya. In that his hota was Brihaspati. Prajapati's three sons, Maharishis named Ekata, Dwita and Trita, participated in that yagya. Apart from these, there were thirteen more members, Dhanush, Raibhya, Arvavasu, Paravasu, Munivar Medha- Tithi, Maharishi Tandya, Mahabhag Shanti Muni, Vedashira, Shali- Hotra's father sage Kapil, Adyakath, Vaishampayan's elder brother Taittiri. , Kanva and Devhotra. There are said to be sixteen members in total. All the items were collected in that great yajna, But no animal was killed there. That king Uparichara was situated in that yajna with this feeling.

He was free from violence, pure, generous and free from desires. The portions of the deities in that Yagya were decided from the fruits, roots etc. grown in the forest. At that time  Lord Narayana Pleased and gave direct darshan to the king, But no one else could see him. Lord Hayagriva himself remained invisible and accepted the Purodasha offered for himself made it a sutra and brought it under his control. Seeing this, Brihaspati became angry. He picked up the Suva with great speed and threw it into the sky. At the same time, he started shedding tears from his eyes out of anger. Then he said to King Uparichara, "The Lord should appear in front of my eyes and accept this part that I have presented, this is justice!"

That great Vasu and all the other members together started to persuade the sage Brihaspati who was filled with anger at that time. Everyone calmed down and said to him, "Don't get angry. The anger you have shown is not the religion of Satyayuga. The God to whom this part has been dedicated never gets angry. You and I cannot see them willingly. Only the one on whom he blesses can see him." 

Thereafter Ekata Dwita and Trita and Chitrashikhandi said to him, "Brihaspati! We are called Manasa putra of Lord Brahma. Once, with a desire for the world's welfare, we all travelled towards the north. There is a holy place to the north of Meru and on the banks of Kshira Sagara, where we had performed rigorous penance for a thousand years by standing on one leg with a concentrated mind. We wanted to somehow get the darshan of the eternal God, Lord Narayana. Thereafter, at the end of the fast, a disembodied voice said in a loving and serious tone, "Brahmins! You have performed penance well with a happy heart. You are devotees of God. Listen to the solution of seeing that omnipresent God. In the northern part of Kshira Sagara, there is a very Sweta island. There live people who worship Lord Narayana, who are as radiant as the moon. They are devoid of physical senses, foodless and motionless. A pleasant fragrance emanates from their body and they are ardent devotees of God and thousands of Those eternal gods with rays enter Purushottam. My form is directly visible there. 

After listening to this voice from the sky, we went to that place. After reaching the continent named Shweta, our mind remained focused only on God. We were eager with the desire to see Him. We could not see the residents there were Due to them being dazzled. Subsequently, through Deva-Yoga, the knowledge appeared in our hearts that without doing penance, we cannot see God easily. We immediately again performed severe penance for a hundred years. On completion of that penance fast, we saw the men there, who were as glorious as the moon and were endowed with all kinds of good qualities. They used to chant Brahma every day with folded hands, facing towards the north-east. Lord Shri Hari was pleased with this concentration of their mind. We understood that that island was the abode of their radiance. There no one was better than anyone else. Everyone's shine was equal.

Within a short time, a glow like thousands of suns appeared in front of us at once. Our eyes were suddenly drawn in that direction. Thereafter, the men resident there ran towards that glory with folded hands with great joy, saying 'Namo Namah'. When they started doing stuti, their tumul sound reached our ears. All of them were offering worship material to that radiant Lord. That indescribable brilliance suddenly captured our minds; But our eyes, strength and senses were damaged, so we could not see anything. But we heard the word which was being uttered and spreading far and wide. Everyone was saying 'Punda-Rikaksha! Glory to you! Vishwabhavan! Salutations to you. Hrishikesha, the ancestor of great men! The sacred and fragrant air brought divine flowers and useful medicines into the vessel, through which the devotees of Panchakalaveta worshipped Sri Hari with devotion through mind, speech and action. We understood Lord had arrived, but due to being fascinated by his Maya, we were not able to see him.

When that fragrant wind stopped blowing and the work of offering the sacrifice to God was completed, then our minds became distraught with worry. There were thousands of men of pure blood there, But none of them welcomed us. The healthy sages there also remained devoted to the worship of God with utmost devotion. Those sages situated in Brahmabhava did not pay attention to us. We had become very weak due to our penance. At that time we saw a healthy bodyless god who said, 'Sages! You people saw the white-bodied senseless men living in Shweta dweep. By seeing these Dwijas, one sees the God. All of you, return as soon as you have come. Without having exclusive devotion to God, no one can have a personal darshan of Him. Yes, when complete devotion is achieved by worshipping for a long time, then it becomes possible to see God. At this time you still need to do a lot of work. In this Satyayuga, Vyatikarama will come and After the completion of Dharma, Tretayuga will begin, at that time you will be helpful in the accomplishment of the work of the deities.' Brihaspati! Hearing these sweet and wonderful words like nectar, we reached our desired destination by the grace of God. Despite our great penance and worshipping God through havya-Kavya, we could not get his darshan. Then how can you get his darshan without any effort? Lord Narayana is the greatest God, the creator of the world. He has no beginning and no end. Even gods and demons worship him."

The generous-minded Brihaspati finished that Yagya and worshipped God. King Vasu also completed the Yagya and started serving the people. Once due to the curse of Brahma, the king had to fall from heaven. At that time, he got absorbed in the deep within the earth. The one who always had a love for religion, Uprichara went to Patala. While constantly chanting the Narayana mantra, he was always ready to worship him. Hence, by Lord Narayana's grace, he rose again and by going from the earth to Brahmaloka, he attained supreme Gati of faithfulness.

NARADA MET WITH NARA AND NARAYANA

Narada gets to know about the Creator whom Nara And Narayana Worship

After Yudhisthira was crowned as King of Hastinapur, Lord Krishna freed amazing Bhishma from all of his sufferings before his death and asked him to alleviate Yudhisthira from mourning over the lifeless Kshatriyas by the way of advising him on Dharma. Yudhisthira asked, Which god should a Grihastha, Brahmachari, vanaprastha and Sannyasi worship if they want to achieve success? How can man attain eternal heaven? By what means can he attain ultimate welfare? By what method should he perform oblations for the gods and ancestors? What state does a free man attain? What is the nature of salvation? What should a man who has gone to heaven do, so that he does not fall from heaven? Who is the God of the gods and the father of the ancestors? 

Bhishma replied, Although this subject is very difficult to understand, still it has to be explained to you. My father Shantanu had told me that Lord Narayana is the soul, four-dimensional and eternal deity of the entire universe. He had once appeared as the son of Dharma. In the Satyayuga of Swayambhu Manvantara, there were four incarnations of Lord Vasudeva, Nara, Narayana, Hari and Krishna.

Among them, Narayana and Nara Badarikaashram were seated on a golden chariot and performed severe penance. That beautiful chariot of his was equipped with eight wheels and many creatures were attached to it. Both of them became very weak while doing penance. The veins of their bodies became visible. Due to penance, their brightness had increased so much that even the deities found it difficult to look at them. Only the one on whom they were kind could have the darshan of those two Gods. Certainly, as per the wish of both of them, with the inspiration of Antaryami in his heart, Narada descended on the Gandhamadana mountain.

When it was time for the daily rituals of Lord Nara and Narayana there, at that very time Naradji had a great desire to see them. He started thinking that this is the place of the same Lord, within whom the entire world including gods, demons, Gandharvas, eunuchs and great serpents reside. First They existed in only one form; then to expand the lineage of religion, they appeared in four idols. At this time, these four Gods Nara, Narayana, Krishna and Hari have greatly blessed the religion.

"These two are the Supreme Beings. What is this daily routine of theirs? These two illustrious gods are the fathers and deities of all living beings. Which god do these two extremely intelligent brothers worship and which ancestors do they worship?", Thinking this in his mind, Naradaji was inspired by devotion towards Lord Narayana and suddenly appeared near those gods. When Lord Nara and Narayana finished worshipping the gods and ancestors, they saw Naradaji and worshipped him in the manner prescribed in the scriptures. Devarishi Narada looked towards Lord Narayana with a happy heart and asked him, You are the mother, father and eternal Guru of the entire world, yet which god and which ancestor do you worship today? 

Lord said, "Brahmin! The question which you have asked is a confidential matter for yourself. A devout man like you should know this. That which is subtle, unknowable, unmanifested, immovable and permanent, which is beyond the senses, objects and all existences, is the inner soul of all living beings; Therefore, he is called by the name of Kshetragya, he is called Trigunatita and Purusha. From Him, the Trigunamaya Avyakta has originated. It has been called the indestructible Avyakta Prakriti, situated in the manifest sense. That Supreme Being in the form of God is the cause of the origin of both of us, know this. We both worship him and consider him as our god and ancestor. There is no other god or ancestor greater than him. We should know that He is our soul; Therefore we worship him only.

He has established the dignity of religion which takes people on the path of progress. Brahma, Rudra, Manu, Daksha, Bhrigu, Dharma, Tapa, Yama, Marichi, Angira, Atri, Pulastya, Pulah, Kratu, Vashishtha, Parmeshthi, Surya, Moon, Kardam, Krodha and Vikrita - these twenty-one Prajapatis were said to be born from the same Supreme Soul. And we follow and worship the eternal religion and dignity of the same God. The best Dwija achieve their desired things by knowing exactly the works related to the gods and ancestors that are performed for that purpose. Among the creatures living in heaven, those who pay obeisance to that Supreme Soul, by His grace, attain the best path which gives results as per His orders. 

One who is free from all actions, five senses of knowledge, five senses of action, five vital organs, seventeen qualities in the form of mind and intellect, those who are situated after renouncing fifteen arts, only they are free, The principle of the scriptures is that the movement of free men is determined by God. Has been done. He is said to be blessed with all the good qualities. He is realized through Gyana Yoga. Knowing that both of us have emerged from Him, we both worship that eternal God. The four Vedas, the four Ashrams and the people who take shelter in various types of Matokas worship Him with devotion and He quickly grants them all the best results.

For those who always remember Him and take refuge in Him with utmost devotion, the biggest benefit they get is that they enter into His form. Narada! You have devotion and love for God. Your devotion towards us also remains intact. That is why we have described this confidential matter before you and you have got an auspicious opportunity to hear it."

Naradaji said, "For the purpose for which you have incarnated in four forms in the house of religion, fulfil that purpose for the welfare of the people. Now I am going to see your Adivigraha located in Shweta dvip. I always respect the Gurus. Never share anyone's secret with others. I have not revealed it before. I have studied the Vedas myself, performed penance and never told any lie. As per the command of the scriptures, I have protected my hands, legs, abdomen and upper body. 

I always have equal feelings towards enemy and friend. I constantly take refuge in the Supreme Lord Shri Narayan and worship Him with utmost devotion. Due to all these special reasons my conscience has become pure. In such a condition, how can I not have the darshan of the eternal God?" Lord Narayana ordered him to go. Narada with excellent yoga flew towards the sky and suddenly reached Mount Meru and disappeared.

Narada Muni looked towards the north-west from there and saw the wonderful sight described earlier. The huge island famous by the name of Shweta in the northern part of Kshirsagara appeared in front of him. Scholars have described that island as thirty-two thousand yojanas higher than Mount Meru. The residents there are devoid of senses, foodless, effortless and full of knowledge. they smell so good. There In that island men are of white complexion and are free from all kinds of sins. Their body and bones are as strong as a thunderbolt. They consider respect and insult equal. Their organs are divine. They are endowed with the strength generated by the influence of Yoga. The shape of their head is like an umbrella and their voice is as deep as the thunder of clouds. They have four equal sides. His feet are decorated with hundreds of lotus-like lines. Their mouths have sixty white teeth and eight molars. With their tongues, they also lick Mahakaalwhich is as bright as the sun and holds the entire universe in its mouth. From whom the entire world has come into existence, all the worlds have appeared, the Vedas, the Dharma, the peaceful sages and all the Gods who are their confirmation, the residents of the white island hold in their hearts with devotion that God with infinite power.
