Chapter – 213- Sur -Vinaya – Pathrika – The practice of
devotion is a ferry to cross the ocean of worldly existence
Sri Surdas
Maharaj speaks “Oh! Prabho, you are the destroyer of grief and sufferings of
worldly existence, Oh! Shyamasundara, Oh! Madhanmohan, you are the protector of
distraught Jeeva, it is your nature. Oh! Prabho, your childhood friend pious
Bhramin Sudhama visited you in Dwaraka, you rushed on your feet to receive that
penniless Bhramin, you showered an abundance of affection, you received him
with great honor, spent the whole night fanning him, finally you blessed him
with the richness of Indra. Oh! Prabho, the Kauravas always plotted against the
Pandavas, once Bhimsen was poisoned to death, you protected him, and another
time Dhuryodhana influenced Yudhishtira to live in the palace made of wax and
set them on fire, but Pandavas miraculously escaped with your grace, you have
always been kind to the Pandavas who symbolizes righteousness. Oh! Prabho, Oh!
Sri Krishna, you have protected the Vrajabhumi from the fierce flood and rain,
you have elevated mounted Govardhan on your little finger and protected the
entire people, cows, and cowherds of Vrajabhumi. Oh! Prabho, I am singing in
praise of your glories, your sacred names are ferries to cross the ocean of
worldly existence.”
