Chapter – 36 – The legend of
Lord Krishna -
Sutha Pauranika speaks “
Oh! Shaunakadhis, Bhishmapithamaha united his mind and intellect upon the
supreme Lord and took a final breath. The
illustrious Rishis, Sages, and Pandavas surrounded were remained silent and
looked at him with great admiration.
Soon, they could hear the sounds of divine musical instruments and the
celestials showered flowers upon the supreme Lord.” Thus Krishna and Pandava returns to the
palace of Hastinapura advised to rule the Kingdom wisely and left to
Dwaraka. Krishna bade-farewell to
Pandava who were sunk in the grief of separation,
there were Subhadhra, Dhraupadhi Kunthi, Virataputhri, Gandhari,
Dhritarashtra, Gauthama, Vrikodhara,
Dhaumya, assembled around Krishna, was preparing to leave on his
chariot. Pandavas could not bear the separation from Devakisutha who was a constant companion of them, had a wonderful time laughing together and sharing
meals together.
The women assembled were
become inconsolable, praised Krishna “Oh! Purusha, Oh! Purathana, we have understood
your real nature as all-pervasive, Oh! Jagathathma, you are the protector of the soul in the three states of sleep, awaken, and dream. Oh! Bhagavan you have created this Prakrithi
with your Maya, you have no specific forms, even though you have endless names
and assume various forms to elevate the Jeeva. Oh! Bhagavan, whoever practices
control over senses and meditate upon you with intense devotion and faith would
get relieved from the impurities of the mind.
Whoever sung in praise of your glorious myths, listening and reading to your
various amusements, will not hurl into the cycles of rebirth. Oh! Bhagavan, you are assuming various forms
to elevate the souls in every yuga, whenever the Jeeva commits Adharma/forgetting
your presence as a soul in them, due to its ignorance. Oh! Shriyapathi, your
birth in the clan of Yadavas to elevate the Jeeva, your marvelous appearance,
will be remembered the world and its people always.” Thus the women who have intense faith and
devotion upon Lord Krishna bade-farewell to him, eventually his chariot proceeded
to Dwaraka.
