Shukha Bhramam speaks “Oh!
Rajan, I have described the ten virtues compiled in the Srimad Bhagavath Mahapuran,
are Sargam, Visargam, Sthanam, Poshanam, Oothaya, Manvanthara, Eshanukatha,
Nirodham, Mukthi, and Ashrayam. Oh! Rajan, the supreme Lord who resides as
soul protects the three states of Adhidhaivikam/dream, Adhibhauthikam/the functioning of senses in the state of
awaken, and Adhyathmikam/state of deep sleep in which the mind and intellect
attain Laya in the supreme soul.
Therefore, the human body, mind and intellect, and sense organs can’t
perform tasks in the absence of the supreme soul, and hence the ultimate object
of the mind and intellect that originated from the supreme soul has to merge in
it with the practice of ‘Ananyabhakthi’.
The nine virtues mentioned in this Srimad Bhagavath Mahapuran leads the
Jeeva to its ultimate resting place/Ashrayam, which is the origin of it.”
The conversation between
Sage Maitreya and Vidura describes the ten virtues of the Srimad Bhagavath
Mahapuran in detail. It was before the greatest battle of Kurukshetra, Vidura
describes the righteousness to Dhritarashtra/Viduraneethi, it resulted in Vidura
leaving the Kingdom of Hastinapura before the battle. Vidura conducts pilgrimage for several years
and decided to meet Krishna in Dwaraka.
It took almost thirty-six years to complete his spiritual journeys to
various places on the Earth, reached on the sacred land of Vrindavan, arrived
on the riverbank of Yamuna; he met Udhdhava who is the closest companion of
Krishna. The Thritheeya Skandha of
Srimad Bhagavatha Mapuran starts with the conversation between Udhdhava and Vidura. Further, Udhdhava conveys the instruction of
supreme Lord Krishna to Vidura to meet Sage Maitreya to receive the highest of
the supreme knowledge. The three and
fourth chapters of the Srimad Bhagavath Mahapuran describes the conversation
between Vidura and Maitreya. In that, the three glorious incarnations of Lord Vishnu was described, in that the first
incarnation of Lord Vishnu as ‘Varaha’/wild boar, Kapilavasudeva, and Rishis
Nara and Narayana. The Ekadasha Skanadha
details the impediments caused to Rishi Nara and Narayana in detail. In this way, three and fourth canto of Srimad
Bhagavath Mahapuran describes the first two virtues 1) Sarga and 2)Visarga.
