Chapter – 303-  Sur -Vinaya – Pathrika – The concluding part of Sri Sur Vinayapathrika

 

Sri Surdas Maharaj speaks “Oh! Mind, perceive the Harathi/the magnificent row of lights before the supreme Lord Sri Hari, which is beyond description, the Kacchapa/giant tortoise on the bottom of the huge lamp post, surrounded by several earthen lamps and the thousand hoods of Adishesha on the pinnacle. Mother Earth is the massive base that resembles a vessel holding the seven oceans, mountains, rivers, forests, etc. the brilliance of the Sun and the coolness of the moon removes the ignorance of darkness. The vast sky holds multitudes of stars, and nine planets, the galaxy resembles the flower garlands, and the dark clouds resemble the fumes from the Harathi/burning camphor. The illustrious Sanakadhis, Maharishi Narada, Sages, Rishis, Prajapathi, deities, humans, and demons singing in praise of the virtues of supreme Lord Sri Hari, the Kala/Time, Karma/actions, and the Guna/attributes are the creation of the Supreme Lord. Oh! Mind, perceive that marvelous occasion and the extravagant preparations of the Harathi of that supreme Lord.”
