Chapter – 25– The legend of Lord Krishna – Vyasa Narada Samvadham

Maharishi Narada speaks “Oh! Mahamune, several years have passed, I have spent singing in praise of the Supreme Lord and wandered all over the places, and finally, Mrithyu caught hold of my body.  On my next birth, I have born one among the illustrious Saptha Rishis, one of the Manasaputhra of Lord Bhrama.  I have got the melodious music instrument Devadhaththa, singing in praise of Lord Hari, I have begun my journey to the three worlds.”  Maharishi Vedavyasa prostrated before Maharishi Narada and expressed his sincere gratitude for removing his gloominess.

Sutha Pauranika speaks “ Oh! Shaunakadhis, Bagavan Badarayana/Maharishi Vedavyasa seated on the riverbank of Saraswathi, located near the hermitage in Shamyaprasham.  Maharishi Veda Vyasa contemplated upon the supreme Purusha, eventually entered into deep meditation.  Thus he began to write the glorious Bhagavath Mahapuran to destroy all the redundant thoughts in the mind and intellect of Jeeva, and unite the souls into Adhokshaja with the practice of Bhakti Yoga, and liberate the Jeeva from the repeated births.  Oh! Shaunakadhis, Badarayana begins to write from the final parts of the great battle of Kurukshetra.”

 It was the eighteenth day of the great battle between Pandavas and Kauravas, it was the day Vrikodhara won over Duryodhana.  On the seventeenth day of the war, Karna got killed, Duryodhana lost all the hope to win over Pandavas, went to Mother Gandhari and cried before her revealing his helplessness on the battlefield.  Devi Gandhari instructed him to stand before her no clothes on his body, thus Devi Gandhari opened her blind-fold, witnessed her son for the first time in her life; with her divine power of chastity rushed through her eyes in the form of brilliant rays, transformed the body of Duryodhana that attained the might of Vajra.  Duryodhana who was ashamed to stand naked before his mother was covered his genital parts and thigh with loin clothe, therefore the entire party of the body except the covered portion were achieved the might of Vajra. Devi Gandhari blessed her son pronounced that Dharma will win always.
