Chapter – 257- Sur -Vinaya – Pathrika –
Sri Surdas Maharaj speaks “Oh! Prabho, you have
liberated several sinners like me, It is difficult to sing in praise of your
glories, your lotus feet are the safest asylum to the Jeeva, and your glories
are beyond description. Oh! Prabho, you have liberated the elephant Gajendra
who was seized on the leg by a crocodile in the pond, the wicked
Ganika/prostitute who was isolated in the later years of age and taken shelter
in your sacred names, and the King Nriga
who was cursed to become lizard and taken shelter in the deep well. The Bhramin
Ajamila who abandoned the Bhramanic way of life and lived with a prostitute in
the forest, at the deathbed he cried calling his youngest son ‘Narayana’ got
released from the grief of worldly existence. Oh! Prabho, Gheedh/Jatayu,
Byadh/hunter, and the Gauthamapathni Ahalya cursed to become a rock for her
wickedness, have not taken austerities and penance, even though they have
attained liberation from your lotus feet. Oh! Prabho, Keshi, Kamsa, the
elephant Kuvalayapeeda, Mushtika, and Chanoora attained your grace, and your
supreme abode Vaikunda/ the abode free from grief and miseries. Oh! Prabho, the
demon Poothana disguised as a young beautiful woman who appeared in Gokula
intending to feed her bosom milk of toxic poison, achieved the status of your
mother Devi Yasodha. The dhobby/washerman of King Hamsa and Dhavanala/the demon
disguised as colossal fire have attained Paramagathi with your grace, and
Shishupal who takes great pleasure in verbal abuse of you too has achieved your
supreme abode. Oh! Prabho, you have no specific time to reach out to your
devotees, you have always been enthusiastic to protect your devotees from troubles, and you can’t bear your devotees in grief. Oh! Prabho, Aghasur, Dhenukasur, and
Vrishabasur, Thrinavarththa achieved your grace and removed their impurities as
well, they too attained Sadhgathi. Oh! Prabho, you have protected Devi
Dhraupadhi from the humiliation in the large assembly of Kaurava and showered an
abundance of clothes to cover her body from the disgrace. Oh! Prabho, whenever
your devotees cried out for you, merely remembering you would make you pleased
and rushed on your feet to reach them. Oh! Prabho, you have protected the
entire Vraja from the fury of Lord Indra, the cows, cowherds, and the people of
Vraja cried out for Lord Krishna, you have elevated mount Govardhan on your
little finger for seven days, and protected them from the heavy downpour. Oh!
Prabho, I am a grave sinner, drenched in worldly matters of possession,
richness, wealth, money, fame, children, wife, companion, and relatives,
chasing after the material and physical pleasures of fleeting nature, soaked in
lust, desire, ego, pride, jealousy, anger, Ahamkara and, Mamakara. I did not
wisely utilize the precious birth as a human to attain the four Purusharththa/righteousness/Dharma,
Arththa/wealth to perform righteous deeds, Kama/desire to perform righteous
deeds, and Moksha/liberation from the grief of worldly existence and repeated
births. Oh! Prabho, I am unfortunate, dull-minded, and helpless, how did you
forget me?”
Yese Aur Bahuth Khal Thare | Charanaprathapa
Bhajanamahima Kau Ko Kahi Sakai Thumhare
|| Dhukhith Gayandh Dhushtamathi Ganika
Nriga Nripa Koopa Udhare | Bipra
Bajayi Chalyau Sutha Kai Hith
Kate Maha Dhukha Bhare || Byadha Gheedh Gauthama Ki Nari Kahau Kaun
Bratha Dhare | Kesi Kamsa Kubalaya Mushtika Sab Sukhadhama Sidhare || Urjani
Kau Bisha Bati
Lagayau Jasumathi Ki Gathi Payi |
Rajaka Malla Chanoora Dhavanala
Dhukhabhanjjan Sukhadhayi || Nripa Sisupala Maha Padha Payau Sab Avsara Nahi Janyau
| Agha Baka Thrinavarththa Dhenuka Hathi
Guna Gahi Dhosha Na Manyau || Pandu Badhu Pataheena Sabha Mei Kotini Basana
Pujaye | Bipathi Kala Sumiratha Thihi Avasara Jaha Thaha Udhi Dhaye ||
Gopa Gayi Gosutha Jala Thrasath
Gobardhana Kara Dharyyo | Santhatha Dheena Heena Aparadhi Kahau Sur Bisarayyau
