Chapter – 163- Sur -Vinaya – Pathrika – The glorious legends
of Lord Sri Hari
Sri Surdas Maharaj speaks “Oh! Mahaprabhu,
Oh! Kripanidhan Oh! Paramadhani/wealthiest, Oh! Damodar, you are the source
of welfare and happiness to your devotees, kindly safeguard them. Oh! Prabho,
the elephant Gajendra who was caught on the leg by a crocodile in the pond,
cried out for help and remembered the Lord of the Universe, instantly you have hurried
to protect leaving your celestial vehicle Garuda, further you sliced the
crocodile with your disc and protected the elephant, Gajendra. Oh! Prabho,
whenever Pandavas was in trouble, you rushed to protect them, once
Maharishi Dhurvass accompanied by thousands of Rishis arrived as a guest in the
hermitage of Yudhishtira, there was nothing to serve the Rishis to remove their
appetite, at that point of time you have appeared and protected Pandavas from
the curse of Maharishi Dhurvasa. Oh! Prabho, your child devotee Prahaladh was tortured
in many ways by his father Hiranyakashipu, you have appeared before the child
at his call in one of the pillars assuming the half lion- half man /Nrisimha,
and ripped off the chest of demon Hiranyakashipu. Oh! Kripanidhan, Devi
Dhraupadhi was seized on hair by Dhussasan and dragged to the large assembly of
Kaurava, he humiliated Dhraupadhi pulling her clothes from the body, at that
moment she remembered your kindness, immediately there was a stream of clothes
rushed towards her and Devi Dhraupadi was protected from further disgrace. Oh!
Prabho, you have crushed the pride of the King of Magadha, Jarasandha, who was
killed in a fierce battle with Bheem, further you have released all those Kings
imprisoned by the wicked Jarasandha. Oh! Prabho, you are too compassionate and
kind to your devotees, your glories are countless, beyond description. Oh!
Karunamaya, Oh! Murari, kindly shower your grace upon me too.”
