Chapter – 18 - Sur -Vinaya – Pathrika –The various amusements of Lord Krishna
Sri Surdas Maharaj speaks “Oh! Prabho, Oh!
Sri Krishnachandra, you cannot bear to watch your devotees in distress, Oh!
Prabho, Gajaraj was completely isolated from his friends, and family when he
was caught on the leg by the crocodile in the pond, he tried several years to protect
himself, but he could not, finally, he remembered the compassionate Lord and got
rid of the suffering, and achieved liberation at the lotus feet of the Lord.
Oh! Karunamaya, you have elevated Mount Govardhana on your little finger and
continued to protect the entire Vraja for seven days from the wrath of Lord
Indra who caused to flood the Vraja with a heavy downpour. Oh! Prabho, you have
killed Jarasandha in a battle with Bhima and released all those Kings imprisoned
by him. Oh! Prabho, you have brought back the life of the child of Maharishi Sandheepani
from the Yamaloka, and you have pleased your preceptor by offering his only
child as ‘Gurudhakshina’. Oh! Prabho, you have manifested as a half lion- half
man for your child devotee Prahlada and killed the demon, King Hiranyakashipu,
in this way you have kept your promise alive. Oh! Prabho, Devi Dhraupadhi faced
disgrace in the large assembly of Kaurava, remembered your name soon you have
answered her cries and showered an abundance of cloth. Oh! Prabho, King
Ambareesha met the wrath of Durvassa was protected by your Sudharshana Chakra, thus
you have crushed the pride of Sage. Oh! Prabho, whenever Pandavas was in distress,
you have rushed to protect them, you have saved them from the Lakshagriha that was set on fire by the men of Duryodhana. Oh! Prabho, you have released Nandhababa
from the Varunapasha. You have swallowed the forest fire and protected the cows
and cowherds. Oh! Prabho, you have killed Kamsa in Ranga Bhoomi and released
Devaki and Vasudeva from the prison. Oh! Sripathi, you have been always kind
and compassionate to your devotees, Veda and scriptures sing in praise of your
virtues. Oh! Prabho, I am helpless, worn out of sufferings and grief of worldly
existence, Oh! Prabho, you are omnipresent, you are the knower of all, reside
as a soul in Jeeva, Oh! Sarvajja, kindly protect us.”
Aur Na Kahu hi Jan Ki Peer | Jab Jab Dheena
Dhukhbhayo Thab Thab Kripa Kari Balabeer || Gaja Balaheena Biloki Dhasau Dhisi Thab Hari Sarana Paryau | Karunasindhu
Dhayala Dharasa Dhai Sab Sampath Haryau || Gopi Gvala Gaya Gosutha Hitha
Sath Dhivasa Giri Leenhayau | Magadha Hathyau Muktha Nripa Keenhe
Mrithaka Bipra Sutha Dheenhyau ||Srinrisimha Bapu Dharyau Asura Hathi
Bhaktha Bachana Prathiparyau | Sumiratha Nama Dhrupadha Thanaya Kau Pat Aneka Bistharyau || Muni Madha Meti
Dhasabratha Rakhyau Ambareeshahithakari | Lakhagriha Thai Sathrusaina Thai
Pandava Bipathi Nivari || Barunapasa Brajapathi Mukaryau Dhavanala Dhukha
Daryau | Griha Aane Basudeva Devaki
Kamsa Maha Khala Maryau || So Sreepathi Juga Juga Sumirana Basa Bedha Bimala
Jasa Gavai | Asarana Sarana Sura
Janchath Hai Ko Ab Surathi Karavai?
