Chapter – 209 – The legend of Lord Krishna – 60

Kamam Krodham Bhayam Sneham Aikhyam Sauhridham Yeva Cha | Nithyam Harau Vidhadhatho Yanthi Thanmayatham Hi They ||

King Pareekshith speaks “Oh! Bhraman, the young women of cowherds assumed Krishna as their lover; they have not considered him as supreme Bhramam who resides as a soul, so how did they could unite their souls with the supreme Bhramam?”

Shuka Bhramam speaks “ Oh! Rajan, do you remember the King of Chethi/Shishupala who attained union with Krishna, after he was killed in the assembly of Kings. He was constantly remembered Adhokshaja even though as an enemy. In this way, the young females of cowherds contemplating upon supreme Lord Hrishikesha as their lover attained union with him. The Supreme Lord who incarnated to raise the soul to achieve the permanent bliss, he is eternal, he is beyond perception, he is beyond Gunas, even though assumes various Gunas to please his ardent devotees.  Whoever contemplates upon supreme Lord Hari, with any of these emotions Kamam/lust or desire, Krodham/anger, Bayam/fear, Sneham/love, Sauhridham/companionship, would attain union with him.  Oh! Rajan, there is nothing to get surprised, he is Yogayogeshwara Krishna, the women of cowherds vested all their devotion on him attained union with him.  The women of cowherds who rushed to Krishna were received with a pleasing smile.”

Bhagavan speaks “Oh! Ladies, Fortunate ones, you are most welcome. Kindly tell me the reason for your visit.  Oh! Ladies, it is unfair to come all the way to the woods in the dark, you have left all your relatives at home and arrived here. You all are grown-ups, should not be in the darkness and that too in the woods.  Why did you come here leaving your parents, husbands, children, brother? Whom do you search for? You have seen the beautiful creepers and riverbanks of the Yamuna filled with flowering plants, the beauty of Vrindavan in the full moon night, now you can return to your homes.”  Listening to Krishna, all those women of cowherds looked at him, took great pleasure in his beautiful appearance and stood like a stone pillar.  Krishna continues “Oh! Ladies, You should not stay back here, therefore go back to your homes and take care of your beloved people, children, cows and serve them.  If you have come to visit me, then you have to listen to my words, the most important duty of a married woman is to serve her husband, and serve all his relatives and take care of children.  It is the prime duty of a wife to serve her husband, even if he is characterless, adamant, dull, patient, etc.   Oh! Ladies, listen to me carefully, you can attain my nearness by listening to my various pastimes, remembering my appearance, meditating upon me or sung in praise of me.  Hence, kindly go back to your homes.”
