Udhdhava wondered after
listening to the speeches of the female of cowherds with full of zealous, he has
become silent, watching the devotion of the females of cowherds. He bowed before them with his palms joined,
and began to speak “ Oh! Fortunate ones, you are most venerable, you have
completely surrendered your mind and intellect to Vasudeva/Bhagavathi. People are performing charities, undertaking
extreme penances, performing fire sacrifices, austerities, and vows, in order
to attain firm devotion at the lotus feet of Krishna. You have not undertaken any of the above
austerities, you have surrendered your mind and intellect to him, sung in
praise of him, which is difficult to attain even for the illustrious Rishis and
Sages. You have realized the fact that
the worldly matters, relationships/husband, children, mother, father, etc. are
impermanent; you have realized the truth that you have to contemplate upon
Krishna who is Purusha resides as soul and completely surrendered to him. Even though you have separated from Krishna,
you have devoted your mind and intellect to him; I am blessed to be in the
association of the true devotees of the supreme Lord. Even if I have lived him, I could not achieve
that intense devotion and faith upon him, Oh! Ladies, you are the extremely
fortunate one, I have a message from Krishna for you all.”

Bhagavan speaks “Oh!
Virtuous women, listen to me carefully, you cannot be separated from me, I
reside as a soul in living beings, like the Panchabhootha/fire, water, Ether,
Earth, Air which cannot be separated from the Prakrithi, which is the source of the functioning of life on Earth, I am the soul which is the source of the functioning
of the mind, intellect, Prana, and Indhriyas, therefore you have not separated from
me. The supreme soul is pure and it
represents wisdom, it is the source of three states known as Swapna/dreaming,
Sushupthi/sleep and Jagrath/awaken in living beings, therefore contemplate upon
me as supreme soul resides in you. I
have to stay away from you for enhancing your devotion like the chaste women
always think of their husband and children who are away from them. You have to
leave all your worries and grief, and meditate upon me and constantly
contemplate upon me, you will attain me.”
The female of cowherds immensely delighted listening to messages of
Krishna; they remembered all those passionate sports of Krishna, various humor
and passionate sports with the young maiden of Vraja, in this way they fixed
their mind and intellect upon him. They have sung in praise of his various amusements, and valorous deeds, eventually their
mind and hearts were brimming with the love for Krishna, “Hey! Natha, Hey!
Ramanatha, Oh! Lord of Vraja/Vrajanatha, Oh! Arththinashana, Oh! Govinda kindly
relieve the Vraja from the sorrows and miseries, and elevate our souls.”
Hey Natha Hey Ramanatha Vrajanatha Arththinashana |
