Chapter – 235-  Sur -Vinaya – Pathrika –The attachment to worldly matters would bring extreme grief  


Sri Surdas Maharaj speaks “Oh! Prabho, Oh! Sri Hari, you are Bhakthavathsala/you are fervent to your devotees, you have liberated the elephant Gajendra from the troubles from the water, and you have protected the entire Braja, cowherds, cows, from the heavy downpour by elevating the Mount Govardhan. Oh! Prabho, Devi Dhraupadhi was humiliated in the large assembly of Kauravas, she cried “Oh! Sri Hari, I am helpless, I am an orphan, I have no one to protect me, the wicked Dhussasan removing my clothes, kindly protect me from disgrace.” Oh! Prabho Sri Hari you did not wait for a second, you have showered an abundance of clothes and protected her. Oh! Prabho, you have encouraged Bhimsen to fight against the wicked demon Jarasandha who harassed the demons and imprisoned several kings. Jarasandha was killed in the fierce fight, and you have liberated the Kings, and the wives of the Kings sung in praise of your glories. Oh! Prabho,  Oh! Dheenabandho, kindly protect your vows to your devotees. You have protected your devotee King Ambareesha from the wrath of Maharishi Dhurvassa who was chased by your fierce Chakra/disc. Sage Dhurvassa invoked the dreadful Krithya to kill King Ambareesha and she met her end by the disc. Oh! Prabho, you have crushed the pride of Dhuryodhan, you have accepted his invitation and met him as an emissary of Pandava, you have refused to accept the meal offered by him and went straight to the home of Vidura and happily accepted the peel of bananas that was offered with extreme love and affection by Vidurani in oversight. Oh! Prabho, how did you forget this helpless, and distraught devotee of you? I have committed several sins by words, mind, and deed, chasing after the worldly matters of possession, wealth, richness, fame, money, wife, children, relatives, and companion, I have wasted the precious life of a human chasing after worldly matters of fleeting nature. Oh! Vanamali, Oh! Prabho, Oh! Bhagavan, kindly liberate me from the three kinds of grief/Thapathraya, and repeated births.”
