Chapter – 28 – Sri Vinaya Patrika – Praising the famous Dhashavathara of Lord Vishnu

 

Sri Tulsidas Maharaj speaks “Oh! Kosaladheesha, Oh! Jagadeesh who is promising to the Universe, the storehouse of virtues, personified as Dhasharathnandhan and performed various amusements, for the welfare of the Universe destroyed the wicked demons and reduced the burden of the Earth. Oh! Bhagavan, your glorious myths are sung in praise by the Veda, Munigana, Adhishesha, Shukhadev, Shiva, Sanakadhis, Santhvrindh Bhakthavrindh, etc. you have incarnated as giant fish in order to protect your devotees during the Mahapralaya, you represent Yajja, Yajjakarththa, Yajjabhoktha, and you are the provider of the fruit of Yajja as well. Oh! Bhagavan, you have assumed the form of wild boar, and protected mother Earth from the clutches of a huge demon Hiranyaksha, Oh! Murari, you have assumed the form of a giant tortoise, and hold the Mount Mandharachala on your back, and protected from tilting while churning the ocean for the nectar of immortality by the Deva and Dhanava, and you have felt comforting, the movement of Mount Mandhara on your back. Oh! Bhagavan, the several precious things initiated while Samudramanthan, such as Amrith, Kamadhenu, Lakshmi, Ucchaishravas, Varuni, Kausthubha, Chandrama, etc. you have allocated the precious things to the deities and made them happy. Oh! Bhagavan, you have assumed the form of half lion and half man/Nrisimha,  you have killed the demon Hiranyakashipu and removed the grief of Munigana, Siddha, Bhakthavrinda, Devatha, Naga, Bhraman, etc. you have destroyed the wicked demon who tarnished the Dharma by assuming  Athulitha Balishali Nrisimha and protected your sincere devotee Prahlada. Oh! Bhagavan, you have incarnated as Vatu Vamana, born to Devi Adhithi and Kashyapa, you have crushed the pride of demon Bali, and measured the whole Universe in three strides. You have purified the three worlds with your feet, and the sacred river Ganga who rushed to wash your feet was safely locked in the matted hair locks of Lord Shiva. You have provided Pathaloka to Bali and the three worlds to Lord Indra, in this way you have removed the grief of Devi Adithi. Oh! Bhagavan, you have incarnated as Bhrigunandhan Parashurama who resembles a ferocious lion and killed several haughty Kshathriyas  Saharabhahu like untamed elephants and provided an abundance of charities to Bhramana, you were most promising like rain clouds to Brahmanas. You have incarnated as Dhasharathanandhan Rama and you have freed the Earth from the harassment of Dhashakanda with powerful twenty hands. I shall prostrate before Rajarajeshwara Lord Sri Ramachandra, who sieved off ten heads and twenty hands of a powerful demon and destroyed his entire clan.  Oh! Bhagavan, you are Shudhdha Parambhrama Paramathma resides as a soul in the Jeeva, you have no specific appearance, free from afflictions, pure and unblemished, even after all these, you have assumed the form of an ordinary Jeeva and performed various amusements to reduce the burden of the Earth and provide bliss to your devotees. Oh! Bhagavan, you have incarnated as Nandhanandhan Yasodhanandhan Sri Krishna, and provided delight to the Vrishnikula, you are the Chandhrama which is the source of delight to the lotus-like clan of Vrishni, you are Radhikapathi, and you resemble blazing fire to the Kamsaroopi Vruksha. Oh! Bhagavan, you have incarnated as Buddha who is Shudhdhagnanaroopi, when the whole Earth was troubled by the Pankhanda Yajjadhi Karmakandaroopi Maya, you have enlightened the soul with the Athmajjana/oneness-in-All, I shall prostrate before that supreme Lord who has incarnated as Shudhdhabodhaswaroopa, Vijjanaghana Sarvagunasampanna, Ajanma, Kripalu, Buddha. Oh! Bhagavan, the evil effects of the Kali era have destroyed the serenity and purity of mind of the Jeeva. You will be taking birth as son Kalki of twice-born Vishnuyash, and you will be the bright Sunlight that would destroy the Mleccharoopi darkness in the Moharoopi night. Oh! Natha, I am Tulasidas, kindly remove the miseries and sorrows of worldly existence, and protects me.”
