January 4, 2011 - Vaikuntha Ekadashi
Arjuna presents a beautiful tribute to Śrī Kṛṣṇa in Chapter 10, possibly indicating finally that he accepts Śrī Kṛṣṇa as the Lord and is very eager to know more about His nature. I present it below without commentary from me.
अर्जुन उवाच |
परं ब्रह्म परं धाम पवित्रं परमं भवान् |
पुरुषं शाश्वतं दिव्यमादिदेवमजं विभुम् ||१०-१२||
arjuna uvaacha .
paraM brahma paraM dhaama pavitraM paramaM bhavaan.h .
purushhaM shaashvataM divyamaadidevamajaM vibhum.h .. 10-12..
Arjuna said: You are the Supreme BRAHMAN, the Supreme Abode, the Supreme Purifier, Eternal, Divine PURUSHA, the God of all gods, Unborn, Omnipresent.
आहुस्त्वामृषयः सर्वे देवर्षिर्नारदस्तथा |
असितो देवलो व्यासः स्वयं चैव ब्रवीषि मे ||१०-१३||
aahustvaamR^ishhayaH sarve devarshhirnaaradastathaa .
asito devalo vyaasaH svaya.n chaiva braviishhi me .. 10-13..
All the RISHIS have described you in this way, as also the DEVA-RISHI Narada, and the sages Asita, Devala and Vyasa; and now You Yourself say the same to me.
सर्वमेतदृतं मन्ये यन्मां वदसि केशव |
न हि ते भगवन्व्यक्तिं विदुर्देवा न दानवाः ||१०-१४||
sarvametadR^itaM manye yanmaa.n vadasi keshava .
na hi te bhagavanvyakti.n vidurdevaa na daanavaaH .. 10-14..
I believe all this that You say to me as true, O Keshava; verily, O Blessed Lord, neither the DEVAS nor the DANAVAS know Your manifestation (identity) .
स्वयमेवात्मनात्मानं वेत्थ त्वं पुरुषोत्तम |
भूतभावन भूतेश देवदेव जगत्पते ||१०-१५||
svayamevaatmanaatmaanaM vettha tvaM purushhottama .
bhuutabhaavana bhuutesha devadeva jagatpate .. 10-15..
Verily, You Yourself know Yourself by Yourself, O PURUSHOTTAMA (Supreme PURUSHA) , O Source of beings, O Lord of beings, O God of gods, O Ruler of the world.
वक्तुमर्हस्यशेषेण दिव्या ह्यात्मविभूतयः |
याभिर्विभूतिभिर्लोकानिमांस्त्वं व्याप्य तिष्ठसि ||१०-१६||
vaktumarhasyasheshheNa divyaa hyaatmavibhuutayaH .
yaabhirvibhuutibhirlokaanimaa.nstva.n vyaapya tishhThasi .. 10-16..
You should indeed, without reserve, tell me of Your Divine glories by which You exist pervading all these worlds.
कथं विद्यामहं योगिंस्त्वां सदा परिचिन्तयन् |
केषु केषु च भावेषु चिन्त्योऽसि भगवन्मया ||१०-१७||
kathaM vidyaamahaM yogi.nstvaa.n sadaa parichintayan.h .
keshhu keshhu cha bhaaveshhu chintyo.asi bhagavanmayaa .. 10-17..
How shall I, ever-meditating, know You, O YOGIN? In what aspects or things, O Blessed Lord, are You to be thought of by me?
विस्तरेणात्मनो योगं विभूतिं च जनार्दन |
भूयः कथय तृप्तिर्हि शृण्वतो नास्ति मेऽमृतम् ||१०-१८||
vistareNaatmano yogaM vibhuuti.n cha janaardana .
bhuuyaH kathaya tR^iptirhi shR^iNvato naasti me.amR^itam.h .. 10-18..
Tell me again, in detail, O Janardana, of your YOGA -power and Immanent glory; for I do not feel satisfied by hearing your (life-giving and so) nectar-like speech.
Hari Om and Namaskaar until the next post
