Shuka Bhramam speaks “ Oh!
Rajan, Lord Krishna pacified Vaidharbhi
who was soaked in grief, he passed amusing comment on her with an effort to
retrieve her from anguish.”
Devi Rukmini speaks “ Oh!
Bhagavan, as you have mentioned, we are completely different from each other,
women get nervous and emotional very easily, and we get disturbed with the
happenings around us. Oh! Bhagavan, you
are void of changes or will not get affected with any of the happenings in this
Universe. Therefore, we both cannot be
equal, so we are completely different from each other. Oh! Bhagavan, you have run out of the
battlefield and took shelter in the ocean, you have run out of the people who
were soaked in worldly matters and sensual pleasures, they cannot realize your
presence as supreme soul, hence Oh! Bhagavan, who resides as a soul in living beings
took shelter in the majestic city of Dwaraka.
Oh! Bhagavan, the saintly people, and ascetics are beyond description,
they are freed from the interest in worldly matters, they have no restriction to
move around and they are free from worldly matters and bondages, therefore they
are not understandable. Even though you
have married several women, you are not attached to anyone; these are not
understandable for people like me, so we are completely different from each
other. Oh! Bhagavan, your splendor can
be perceived by innocent and pure-hearted souls/cowherds that are free from
worldly matters, people who are completely surrendered at your lotus feet. We cannot understand your grandeur because we
have soaked in the richness of worldly matters.
Oh! Bhagavan you symbolize supreme knowledge and Bhramam, we are soaked
in the worldly matters are, hence we are different from each other. Oh! Bhagavan, whoever surrendered to you
attain all the Purusharththa, you have no differentiation between male or
female, you are beyond happiness and sorrow.
We have the conscious of gender, dependent on our companion, children, and family, Oh! Bhagavan, you are beyond
description and perception. You have risen
to the supreme state of Bhramam, we are stuck in the Sthoola Shareera. Oh! Bhagavan, your magnificence can be
understood by saintly and pious people, they have sung in praise of you, we are not
raised to that level of ascetics who have the knowledge of ‘self’ and engages
in constant contemplation upon you. Oh!
Ambujaksha, the intellectuals have thorough knowledge that surrendering at your
lotus feet would provide the highest of the piousness, they contemplate you while
leaving the mortal coil and get freed from repeated births, and an ignorant
never realizes the presence of supreme soul and chases to fulfill their sensual
pleasures. Oh! Bhagavan, I have married
to you and surrendered at your lotus feet, I am confident that I can elevate my
soul with the constant service at your lotus feet of Paramathma. An ignorant
get attached to people, wealth, fame, and richness for pleasure, without the
knowledge that it has constant transformation and ruin. Oh! Bhagavan, kindly remove all my anxieties
and fears, and give intense devotion at your lotus feet, and relentlessly serve
your lotus feet to get relieved from the worldly matters, Oh! Ambujaksha, kindly
shower your compassionate grace upon me.”
