NARAYANEEYAM DASAKAM - 84 - SAMANTA PANCHAKA

 Dasakam - 84 - Samanta Panchaka





On an occasion of Solar Eclipse, Krishna entrusted Dwaraka to Kritavarma and Aniruddha and went to Samanta Panchaka along with yadavas and their womenfolk. Krishna took dip in the holy water to sanctify it for the benefit of human race. He gave gifts and money to Brahmins and interacted with Pandavas and Kauravas. Draupadi who was devoted to Krishna met Rukmini and Satyabhama and spent time with them. She came to know from Rukmini and Satyabhama, how Krishna married them and shared it with other women happily.

Nandagopan and other gopas had also come to the holy place. Krishna met them, honoured them and spent time with them. Gopikas, who were caught in the pangs of separation from Krishna, were excited to see him again. Krishna made the gopikas happy as before. He went to Radha, hugged her and told her that he could not meet her only because of the continuous attack by the enemies and fight. Radha was overwhelmed and forgot herself in his affection. 

After spending good times with Gopikas and Radha as before, he made them realize that he is form of supreme bliss consciousness and the Supreme Brahman, their innermost self. When Uddhava advised them before by meeting them at Gokula, they experienced mixed feeling of joy and sorrow of separation. After Krishna advised the philosophical knowledge of Brahman, they experienced only Supreme bliss at the thoughts of him.

Krishna's father Vasudeva requested Sage Narada and Saint Vyasa to advice him the good deeds to perform to overcome sins. They just laughed and told him when Lord only is his son and he is staying with him, he need not do anything more. Still for his satisfaction, they arranged for an yagna. 

The Yagna began and was happening well. It was well attended by friends. Yadavas honoured the Gopas who came for the ritual. Thus Gopas enjoyed the association with Krishna for those three months. After the completion of Yagna, Krishna went to Radha and hugged her tightly. Hebid her farewell after ascertaining that she is happy and not affected by pains of separation from him anymore and returned to Dwaraka. Bhattathiri prayed to the Lord, who removed the miseries of Gopas, gopikas and Radha, to remove his ailments.

NARAYANEEYAM DASAKAM - 76 - UDDHAVAR DHOOTHYAM


Dasakam - 76 - Uddhavar Dhoothyam





Krishna went to Guru Sandeepani ashram along with Balarama and mastered all arts in sixty four days. As gurudakshina, he brought back alive, Guru's dead son from Yama's abode and gave back to the guru and Guru's wife. Krishna returned back to Mathura sounding his Panchajanya, the conch.

Meanwhile, the gopikas in vraja were constantly thinking of Krishna and were soaked in the bliss all the time. Remembering their love, Krishna felt overwhelmed and decided to send Uddhava as a messenger to Gokulam, thereby creating an opportunity for Uddhava to understand the depth of devotion of the gopikas. Uddhava reached Gokulam by evening. He spent the night with Nanda and Yashoda enquiring about their well being and made them happy by describing the great deeds of Krishna. In the morning, seeing the chariot in front of Nanda's house, gopikas thought Krishna had returned and later got to know that an emissary of Krishna has come. They came to meet Krishna's friend Uddhava, abandoning their chores at home.

Gopikas saw Uddhava dressed in costumes and jewelry similar to that of Krishna. They were reminded of the leelas performed with Krishna before and became speechless. They forgot themselves and others and slowly composed themselves and started to speak with the choked voice. They asked if the merciless Krishna sent Uddhava to just meet his parents, Nanda and Yashoda. They wanted to know the whereabouts of Krishna who must have become the beloved one for Mathura girls, by then. Unable to forget the nectar like body of Krishna and the embraces, the funny talks and actions and the love he had given them, the gopikas lamented that it is very unlikely that they can forget him.

Gopikas remembered how during Rasaleela dance, Krishna's beautiful hair had loosened and dishevelled while his body glowed with sweat drops. They requested Uddhava to tell Krishna that they wanted to embrace Krishna and experience it once again. Uddhava imparted the spiritual message sent by Krishna to the grief struck gopikas and made them come back to their normal selves. Uddhava spent few more days in vraja, narrating various incidents about Krishna and made the gopikas more happier.

Uddhava noticed that in Gokulam, only songs related to Krishna leelas were heard in every house while they did their household chores. Their talks were always centered around Krishna. The people talked about Krishna even in their dreams. Their actions imitated Krishna as they tried to personify him. Uddhava was left wonderstruck and stunned by these observations. Next, Uddhava met Radha and told her, how Krishna was always reminded of her. Krishna would talk about things Radha liked, the way she use to talk. If Uddhava was silent anytime, Krishna would ask why he was silent like his Radha. By conveying these, Uddhava made the lotus eyed Radha very happy.

Krishna's message through Uddhava to Radha and gopikas was that he was unable to come to vraja due to his preoccupation and not due to his reduced love for them. Their devotion towards him was increasing in their separation and hence there is no need to grieve. Krishna will meet them soon and bless them with the supreme bliss after which union or separation from him will mean the same to them. Hearing these assuring words, gopikas were freed from grief. 

The devotion of gopikas were the rarest and best in the whole world. No one has ever heard nor seen such heights of devotion to the Lord. Uddhava felt that mere prostration to their feet is enough to attain salvation than doing penance or studying scriptures

He returned to Mathura completely soaked in the bliss after meeting the gopikas. Bhattathiri prayed to the Lord who was happy with Uddhava's realisation about gopikas devotion, to protect him from him afflictions.
