Chapter – 7- Sur -Vinaya – Pathrika – Lord Sri Hari's incarnations - Krishna - Nrisimha - Vamana
Sri Surdas Maharaj
speaks “Oh! Yadhunatha/leader of Yadhuclan, you were most benevolent to Drona
and Dhara who underwent severe austerities and penance contemplating upon your lotus
feet and attained you as their son, you have promised that you would be born
as the son of Nandhababa/Dhrona/ Yasodhara/Dhara, and engaged in various amusements
in Gokul with the cowherds, took the cows and calves for grazing. Oh! Prabho,
you are always been most promising to deities, you have incarnated as a half
lion- half man and ripped off the heart of the demon King Hiranyakashipu and
protected the child devotee
Prahlada. Oh! Prabho, the demon King Bali won over the deities and conquered
the three worlds, Devamatha Adithi was distressed to see her children/deities
lose their glories and power, you have incarnated as Dwarf/Vamana, son of
Adhithi and Sage Kashyapa, and approached Bali in the Yajja arena, seeking
three strides of land. Bali miscalculated and considered you as an ordinary
Vipra, you have measured the entire Universe in three strides, thus the deities
regained their lost glories. Oh! Prabho, you have protected Gajendra who was
left alone in the mouth of death, in this way, you have been the protector of
the souls surrendered at your lotus feet, you have performed various amusements
in order to protect your devotees from distress which is highly eulogized by
Veda and scriptures. Oh! Prabho, your endless legends praising the compassion
and grace of your passionate devotees and the reward of the practice of sincere
devotion was eulogized in scriptures and Veda. Oh! Prabho, I am worn out of
grief and sufferings of worldly existence, / grief caused by natural
calamities, epidemic, flood, famine draught/ grief caused by interest in
worldly matters, possession, richness, money, wealth, fame, children, wife,
relatives and companion/ grief caused by fear of death, aging, illness,
separation of beloved souls, etc. I have been listening to your endless glories
and compassion, I shall surrender at your lotus feet yearning for your
auspicious grace.”

Kiyau Janahitha Jadhurayi | Prathama Kahyo Jo Bachana Dhayaratha Thihi Basa
Gokula Gayi Charayi ||
Bakthabacchala Bapudhari Narakehari
Dhanuja Dhahyo Uradhari Surasayi
| Bali Baladhekhi Adhithi Sutha Karana
Thripadha Byaja Thihupura Phiri Aayi || Yehi Thara Bani Kreeda
Gajamochana Aur Anantha Katha Sthuthi
Gayi | Sur Dheena Prabhu Pragata Biradha Suni Aajahu Dhayala Pathatha Siranayi
