Chapter – 255- Sur -Vinaya – Pathrika –
Sri Surdas
Maharaj speaks “Oh! Prabho, Oh! Sri Hari, who will protect whom in the hours of
danger? Who is other than you to protect the Jeeva from the troubles of worldly
existence? Oh! Devashiromani,/Lord of Lords, who is competent to keep the promise to
Jeeva and protect them from the grief of worldly existence and repeated births?
Oh! Prabho, Oh! Paramapurusha/Primeval deity, you have protected Pareekshith while he was in his mother's womb, Devi Uththara was got shot with the Bhramashthra by Ashwaththama, to destroy the clan of Pandavas. Oh! Prabho, you have understood the fetus was in danger, you have assumed the size of a thumb and entered inside the womb of Devi
Uththara and protected the fetus. Thus, you have protected the mother and the
child, and the Pandavas from the perils. Oh! Prabho, the elephant Gajendra who
was seized on the leg by a crocodile in the pond, it fought several thousands of years with the crocodile, finally cried out for you Oh! Karunamaya, you have
rushed on your feet and protected the elephant and provided liberation to the elephant and the crocodile as well. Oh!
Prabho, Maharishi Dhurvasa cursed your ardent devotee King Ambareesha and
invoked the demon Krithya against the King, soon the fiery Sudharshana Chakra appeared
from nowhere and chased Maharishi, he flew to Bhramaloka, Rudra Loka, and
Vishnu Loka, and finally returned to King Ambareesh at your
advice, the gracious King received the Maharishi with great honor and protected
the Rishi from the trouble of Sudharshana Chakra. Oh! Prabho, the Pandavas were
always protected by you, they were fearlessly lived in the
forest during their exile from Hasthinapur, the Veda and the Chathurmukha Bhrama highly eulogize the righteousness of Pandava. Oh! Prabho, the demon
King Jarasandha imprisoned several kings and queens, they sing in praise of
Lord Krishna and remembered your sacred names, Oh! Prabho, you have urged
Bhimsen to fight against the demon Jarasandha and instructed Bhimsen with your gestures to kill Jarasandha, eventually, Bhimsen ripped off the body of
Jarasandha in equal halves and thrown in separate ways. Thus, you have released
the Kings and queens from prison. Oh! Prabho, you have protected Devi Dhraupadhi
from disgrace in the large assembly of Kaurava, in this way, you have protected
the honor of her husbands and clan as well. Oh! Vishwambhar, you have showered a mountain of clothes to protect Devi Dhraupadhi. Oh! Prabho, in the epic
battle of Kurukshetra, you have assigned yourself with the duty of charioteer
to Arjuna, watching the perplexed Pandavas, you have abandoned your promise ‘not
to touch weapons’, you have protected the ‘vows of Bhishmapithamaha’ by holding Sudharshana Chakra in your hand. Oh! Prabho, the demon Hiranyakashipu achieved unique
boons from Lord Bhrama as a reward for his extreme penance, he can’t be killed
day or night, cannot be killed with the weapons, can’t be killed inside or outside
of the house, can’t be killed by the deities, Asuras, and animals. Oh! Lord of
mercy, you have assumed the half lion and half man/Nrisimha, and killed the demon
Hiranyakashipu, and protected your child devotee Prahlada. Oh! Sri Gopinath, Oh!
My Lord, you have endless glories which are beyond description.”
