Dhandhukari's ghostly birth and deliverance from it
Sut said - Shaunaka, one after the death of father
Divas Dhundhukari smacked his eyes hard and asked,
“Speak. Where have you kept the money? If not, kick you(1)
Afraid of the child's threat and his nuisance
Being sad one night she jumped into the well and
She died.(2)
Devout Gokarna went on a pilgrimage. of these events
He was neither happy nor sad. Because he has no one
There was no friend or enemy. (3)
Dhandhukari started living in a house with five prostitutes. For them
॥ His good sense was destroyed by the anxiety of obtaining pleasures
And he began to commit the cruelest deeds (4).
One day those harlots gave him many jewels
and asked for Enraptured, he forgot death
as He went out of the house to get the jewels. (5)
He steals money from here and there and goes home
came and gave them expensive clothes and lots
Brought ornaments. (6)
At night after seeing a lot of stolen goods
. The harlots thought that this one always steals. then
One day he will surely be caught by the king.(7)
The king will certainly confiscate his wealth and execute him
. will punish So, you are the one to protect the money
Why not kill him incognito? (8)
By killing this, taking this property, we go somewhere
go away Having made this decision, he went to sleep
Dhandhukari was tied with a rope, with a rope noose around his neck
Even if you try to kill him, he will not die quickly
They were worried. (9-10)
Then they threw many burning coals on his face
dropped So he was burnt by the flames and died
Fell. (11)
They buried the body in a pit.
Probably women are brave! of this secret act of theirs
None found.(12)
When people ask, she says, "Ours
The lover has gone abroad this time due to greed of money. during the year
He will return.” (13)
Wise men never over evil-tempered women
Not to be trusted. To the fool who believes them
(In the end) one has to be sad. (14)
Women whose voice is like nectar to men
Creates love in hearts, their hearts are like sharp knives
is sharp. Hey! Who loves these women? (15)
All the wealth of Dhandhuka goes to many men
Those prostitutes went elsewhere. Because of your misdeeds (16)
Dhandhukari went into a ghost.
He started wandering in different directions like a whirlwind.
Disturbed by cold, heat, thirst and hunger, he said, “Hi
God! Hi God!” He used to shout like that. But nowhere to him
No shelter. After some time, the death of Dhandhukari
The news reached Gokarna's ears through the people. (17-18)
Then Dhundhukari was considered an orphan (by Gokarna).
Shraddha was performed at Gayakshetri and on every pilgrimage he went to
Thus, he used to do his Shraddha there. (19)
In this way Gokarna returned to his city
And straight at night without being seen by anyone
He went to sleep in the courtyard of his house. (20)
Seeing your brother sleeping at midnight
Dhundhukari showed him her terrible form. (21)
Sometimes it is a buck, sometimes an elephant, sometimes Reda, sometimes Indra
Sometimes he started taking the form of fire. After all, it's human
Appeared as.(22)
Gokarna saw his different states
Decided that this is someone who has attained Durgati
Then he boldly asked him. (23)
Gokarna said - who are you? at night time
Why are you showing such horrible forms? This is your situation
How did it happen? Are you a ghost or a ghost?
are you a monster Tell me if it's true (24)
Sut said - When Gokarna asked this, he
One started crying loudly. He could speak
There was none, so he only made marks. (25)
Then Gokarna took water from a bowl and invited them
and sprinkled on him. So some of his sins
(26)
Pret said I am your brother. my name
Dhandhukari I destroyed my Brahmin Hood through my own fault.(27)
My misdeeds are innumerable. I am in great ignorance
I was acting. That's why I hurt people. Finally
Harlots beat me to death. (28)
That is why I have come to Preyoni and am suffering from this predicament.
Now, by fate, as the fruit of my actions, only air eating
Living by (29)
Brother, you are an ocean of mercy. So by doing anything
Get me out of this vagina as soon as possible. By Gokarna Dhundukari
Hearing all the talk, he said to him. (30)
Gokarna said - Brother! I'm right for you
Donated pounds in Gaya Kshetra. Nevertheless, your freedom from pret yoni
I wonder how it didn't happen. (31)
If Gayashradha has not liberated you, then now
There is no other solution. Now you tell me in detail
Tell me, what should I do now? (32)
Pret said that despite performing hundreds of gayashradhas, mine
There will be no liberation. You are now someone else for this
Find out the solution. (33)
Gokarna was greatly surprised to hear these words of the ghost.
He said, if a hundred goes, even by performing shraddham, you will be saved
If not, then your liberation is simply impossible. (34)
This corpse! Now you fearlessly take your place
stay I thought of some other solution for your liberation
Will do. (35)
Dhundhukari takes Gokarna's order and leaves from there
Went to the location. Here Gokarna thought all night
did, but he did not suggest any solution. (36)
When the morning came, the people saw him with love
came to meet him. Then Gokarna at night
He told them everything as it happened. (37)
Among them are those who are learned, devoted, knowledgeable and
Well-versed in the Vedas, he studied many scriptures,
However, they could not find a way to free the corpse. (38) (39)
He praised the sun. God, all of us
-0 You are a witness to the world. Greetings to you. grace
Please tell me the solution to get rid of Dhundukari.
After hearing this prayer of Gokarna, Suryadev spoke clearly from a distance
He said that with Srimad Bhagavata one can be liberated. so you
Make his weekend. This pious promise of Surya there
All heard. (40-41)
Then everyone decided that about this
Whatever Suryanarayan commands, one should follow.
So Gokarna stopped the movement of the sun with his tapoban.
Then everyone said that trying this means
doing Moreover, this tool is very simple. So did Gokarna
Having decided like that, he is ready for the weekly story reading
Done. (42)
Many from neighboring provinces and villages
People came there to hear the stories. many lames,
The blind, the old, and the feeble-minded are also guilty of their sins
He came there with the intention of retiring. (43)
Even the gods were surprised to see such a crowd there
felt When Gokarna sat on the dais and started narrating the story,
Then that corpse also came there and moved here and there to sit
Started looking for a place. Meanwhile, one with seven knots
He lost his sight of a tall reed. (44-45)
In the lowest (knotted) hole of that reed
After entering, the corpse remained sitting there. Because it is a form of air
Couldn't sit out anywhere, so entered the reeds. (46)
Gokarna made a Vaishnava Brahmin his chief audience
And to tell the story in clear words from the first skandha
Started.(47)
A strange one when the story ended in the evening
The incident happened. A knot of that reed cracked in front of everyone
(48)
Similarly, the next day in the evening another knot
burst, and on the third day at the same time a third lump burst.(49)
Thus in seven days, seven knots break into twelve
After listening to Skandha, Dhandhukari becomes pure and free from pret yoni
became and appeared before all by assuming a divine body
done His body is dark like a cloud, Pitambar
Worn, the neck was adorned with tulsimals. on the head
Beautiful crowns and coils were shining in the ears.(50-51)
He immediately saluted his brother Gokarna
And he said, Brother, you have treated me kindly
You freed me from the torments of love. (52)
This is the story of Srimad Bhagavata which destroys ghosts
blessed yes One who attains Sri Krishna Dham
Even the weekend is blessed (53)
When (one) attains the Yoga of Sapta Shravana
(His) sins tremble. Because the story of Bhagwat
They think that it will destroy us immediately. (54)
As fire wet-dry, small-big (so).
As this Saptashravana consumes all kinds of wood
New-old, small- by mind, speech and action.
Great, consumes all sins. (55)
Scholars have said in the assembly of the gods, Come
He who does not listen to the story of Srimad Bhagavata in India
Birth is in vain.(56)
Good! Passionate nurturing of this perishing body
. By making him fat and strong and if
If you have not heard the story of Srimad Bhagavata, what about it?
use?(57)
Bones are the backbone of the body, with pulse-like cords
1 is bound to it, coating it with flesh and blood
It is covered with skin. Since this is a pot of excrement
Each of these parts is stinking. (58)
It is sad as a result of old age and mourning
And it is the home of diseases. By some will
There is anxiety, it is never satisfied. Hold it
It is also a burden to do. It is full of flaws
are and it does not take a moment to perish.(59)
Finally, if these are buried, worms will emerge from them.
If eaten by animals, it turns into excrement and is burned in the fire
Then a pile of ashes is formed. This is done in three ways
It ends. Man is indestructible from such a perishable body
Why not do fruitful work? (60)
Food that is cooked in the morning, until evening
gets damaged. Then fattened by their juice
How will the body remain eternal? (61)
The absence of God in this world by doing Saptha Shravana
be achieved
This is the only tool.
. Therefore, for all kinds of defects to disappear (62)
Those who do not listen to Bhagavata stories
Just disappear like bubbles and mosquitoes on water
They are born to be. (63)
The effect of which is lifeless and withered bamboo
The knots are broken, and the ignorance of the mind is broken by listening to that Bhagavata story
The knot will be removed, what is special about it? (64)
The ignorance of man's heart by doing Saptha Shravana
The knot dissolves, all his doubts disappear, and all karma
(65)
This Bhagavata-style pilgrimage is the sinful mire of the world
Good at washing. Scholars say,
When this Katha tirtha is fixed in the heart, men's liberation
(66)
While Dhundhukari was telling all this, at the same time
A bright plane with councilors from Vaikuntha landed there. (67)
Dhandhukari boarded that plane in front of all the people
sat down Then Gokarna saw the councilors who came from the plane
He said to them, (68)
Gokarna asked - dear councilors of God!
There are many pure-hearted listeners here. For all of them
Why didn't you bring more planes with you?
It seems to us that everyone here is the same
Bhavna has heard the story. Then such a difference in fruition
Why we must tell. (69-70)
Haridas said: The cause of the difference in attainment of fruits
This is the difference in hearing. Shravan did the same for everyone
It is right to say. But like this, everyone meditated
No. That is why even after listening to them all at the same time
There was a difference in the fruit. (71)
This corpse had fasted for seven days and listened.
Also, a lot of meditation on the subject heard with a steady mind and
He was also doing Nididhyasana (72).
The knowledge that is not established (in the mind) is useless.
Similarly, inattentive listening is done with a skeptical mind
Done while chanting and wandering the mind
Chanting does not yield any results. (73)
A non-Vaishnava country, of Shraddha given to an unqualified person
food, alms given to non-Vaidika and immoral lineage,
All this is in vain. (74)
Belief in the Guru Vachana, humility in the heart, in the mind
Conquering disorders and concentration of mind while listening to stories
If such rules are followed, the fruit of hearing is obtained
And thus the listeners again the story of Srimad Bhagavata
If they hear it, they will surely get Vaikuntha. (75-76)
O Gokarna, God Himself has come to us
All those councils will take it to Golokdham
Vaikunthalok left after performing Harikirtan. (77)
Gokarna again in the month of Shravan, in the same way, week
told the story by doing and repeating it to the same audience
heard ON Narada Muni! What happened after the end of this story,
Listen to it. (78-79)
Lord there with planes full of His devotees
revealed. At that time greetings and cheers everywhere
Ghosh began to be heard. (80)
God is very happy with his Panchajanya Shankha
cried and hugged Gokarna to his heart
He was made like us. (81)
In an instant, the Lord made all the other listeners like a cloud
By Shyamvarna, Reshmi Pitambardhari, Crown and Kundle
(82)
By the grace of Gokarna from that village dog
As many as there were lives till Chandal, all of them in the plane
Installed. (83)
Wherever yogis go, in that Bhagavatha they all
was sent. Thus pleased by hearing the story
Lord Krishna, who is compassionate to his devotees, takes Gokarna with him
Beloved of the gopis went to Goloka Dhama. (84)
Just like before Lord Shri Ram to the people of Ayodhya
Bhagwan also went to his dhamma with it
Shri Krishna took all of them and even the worthy ones were rare
went to Goloka. (85)
People in whom Surya, Moon, and Siddha also go
Could not, they went there because of listening to Srimad Bhagavat.(86)
The bright fruit of listening to the week-yagna-story
What should we tell you about it?
Hey! Those who were told by Gokarna through their eardrums
Heard even one letter of the story, he became Garbhavasi again
No. (87)
The speed at which the devotee easily attains through Satpasarvana
By doing, that speed man wind, water, or leaves
By eating and drying his body and performing severe penance for a long time
And cannot be attained even by practicing yoga. (88)
Parayana of this most sacred history on Chitrakoot mountain
Munishwar Shandilya, who is seated, is also engrossed in Brahmananda
(89)
This story is very sacred. Even after hearing it once
All sins are destroyed. If recited during Shraddha
This satisfies the patriarchs and by reciting it regularly
Salvation is attained. (90)
