Chapter – 285 – The legend of Lord Krishna -  136

Yadhricchayam  Nritham Prapya Sukalpamiha Durllabham | Swarththe Pramaththasya  Vayo Gatham Thvan Mayayeshwara || Asavahamamaivaithe Dhehe Chasyanyayadhishu | Snehapashair Nibadhnathi Bhavan Sarvamidham Jagath || Yuvam Na Na: Suthau Sakshath Pradhana Purusheshwarau| Bhoo Bharakshathrapana Avatheernnau Thadhaththaha ||

Shuka Bhramam speaks “ Oh! Rajan, it was daily practice of Krishna wake up during the Bhrama Muhurtha, prostrate before his parents.   That day,  Vasudeva decided to prostrate Krishna when he approaches them to offer obeisance.  As usual, Rama and Krishna approached parents; Krishna looked at his father and smiled mischievously, instantly Vasudeva forgot all those feelings to prostrate his son. Thus Lord Krishna did not let his father prostrate before him. When Rama and Krishna was leaving after offering obeisance, Vasudeva seized the hands of Krishana, and spoke “Oh! Child, do not fool me with your Maya, I am already soaked in your Maya.  The living beings in the Universe are soaked in the worldly matters and bondage with the influence of your Maya. Oh! Krishna, I am thoroughly aware of the fact that you both are not my children. You both are Pradhana Purusheshwara, you both are divine personified to remove the burden of the Earth.  I forgot to take shelter at your lotus feet, which could remove all the bondages and interest in worldly matters, I was immersed in pleasing my senses.  I have lost the sense of your divinity and the purpose of your incarnation on the Earth to elevate the souls.  I have forgotten that instruction of the supreme Lord Vishnu to worship you as supreme Bhramam, I was drenched in love and affection and forgot that advice to follow. Oh! Krishna, kindly bless me.”

Bhagavan speaks “ Oh! Father, you are perfectly right, you were considered me as your son, but not like the supreme Bhramam, Oh! Yadhushreshta, kindly understand that all that you are witnessing, the people of Dwaraka and all those living and non-living things are functioning with the presence of self-illuminating nature of Athman which has neither birth nor death, it is eternal and void of changes.  The presence of Earth, Air, Ether, Water and Fire varies in the living beings, but nature does not change, it is the perception of the individual that forms his/her character.” Vasudeva bowed before his son, Krishna smiled mischievously at his father.
