Chapter – 26 -  Sur -Vinaya – Pathrika –The various amusements of Lord Krishna


Sri Surdas Maharaj speaks “Oh! Shyamasundara, how can I describe your endless virtues? Oh! Prabho, you have liberated Kubja/Kubidi who had three visible hunchs on her body was transformed into a beautiful young woman at the touch of you. Vidura who was a son of servant maid an ardent devotee of you achieved your perpetual grace, the penniless Bhramin Sudhama who was childhood companion visited you with a bundle of puffed rice in ragged upper clothes, in return, he achieved the wealth and richness of Lord Indra. The elderly prostitute who bought a parrot from the devotee of Lord Hari, merely listening to the glorious names sung by the parrot, she has achieved liberation from worldly existence.  Oh! Prabho, you haven’t accepted the Yajjabhaga/oblations from the fire sacrifices or visited the hermitage of Rishis, but you have blessed the Rishi/Vipra Pathnis. You have gracefully accepted the fruits offered by Sabari, even though she had tasted them all and offered them to Lord. Oh! Prabho, you have affectionately received the fruits offered by Sabari and liberated her. Oh! Nandhanandhana, you have performed various amusements in the Braja, you have protected the cowherds and cows by elevating the Mount Govardhana on your little finger. Oh! Prabho, you have stolen the butter from the houses of cowherds, got yourself fasten on the mortal pastel by Devi Yasodha like amusement, and liberated the sons of Kubera who has assumed the Yamalarjjuna tree at the curse of Maharishi Narada. Oh! Prabho, you have rushed on your feet to protect Gajendra who was caught on the leg by a crocodile on the pond, you have abandoned your celestial vehicle Garuda and rushed to protect your devotee. Oh! Prabho, you have protected the Pandavas from the flames of Lakshagriha. Oh! Prabho, when did you leave your devotees in distress? Whenever your devotees were hoovered over by various troubles, you have rushed to protect them. Oh! Prabho, you have liberated several grave sinners, why don’t you look at me? Kindly liberate me from the sufferings and grief of worldly existence.”


Kaha Guna Baranau Syama Thihare | Kubija Bidhura Dheena Dhvija Ganika Sab Ke Kaja Savare|| Jajjabhaga Nahi Liyau Hetha Sau Rishipathi Pathitha Bichare | Bhillinike Phala Khaye Bhava Sau Khate Meete Khara || Komala Kara Govardhana Dharyau Jab Huthe Nandhadhulare | Dhadhi Misa Aapu Bandhayo Dhavari Sutha Kubera Ke Thare || Garudha Chadi Prabhu Paya Piyadhe  Gajakarana Pagadhare | Ab Mosau Alasatha Jatha Hau Adhama Udharanahare ! Kaha Na Sahaya Kari Bhakthani Ki Pandava Jaratha Ubare | Sur Pari Jaha Bipathi Dheena Par Thada Bighana Thuma Dare ||
