Leaving the place (came there.) adorning their necks with Vanama


His body was like a cloud filled with water


He was dark-skinned, wore a pitambar,


Around the waist was adorned a mekhla, on the head a crown and


There was ringing in the ears. It is beautiful because of the tribhangi mudra


was seen Kaustubhamani was shining on the chest,


Harichandana was applied all over the body. As if they


Had the beauty of crores of cupids. That is


There is a lively mood of ecstasy. Such charming Muralidhar,


entered into the pure hearts of His devotees. (1-4)



A devout devotee living in Vaikuntha in disguise


came there to hear the story. (5)



Then the cheers started. The wonderful Bhaktirsa


The stream began to flow. Gulal, Bukka, a shower of flowers, etc


Conch sound also started. (6)



Our body of people sitting in that assembly, householders


And the consciousness of the heart also disappeared. That was it


Seeing Tanmaya, Naradamuni said. (7)


Be sages, week of the hearing, a supernatural glory


I am watching Among those who come here are fools, tricksters, and beasts-


There are also birds and all of them have become very innocent. (8)


So in this Kali Yuga, for the purification of the mind, in the world of death

There is no sacred instrument. (9)



Munivar, you are very gracious. of the people


We consider a different way to the welfare

You should tell me that you become holy. (10)


Madbhagavat

Sankadik said: Those who always commit sinful deeds

and are always quick to transgress, going by the left way,

They are hot with anger, deceitful and lustful

That cunning stubbornness always in mind, voice, and body

are committing sins, are fattened by other people's wealth,

They are also full of impure minds and evil passions

In the Kali Yuga, Saptayajna becomes holy. (14)


Now we give you an ancient history regarding this

Says that Even just hearing it destroys all sins. (15)


Formerly a great city situated on the banks of the river Tungabhadra

was There people of all castes, practicing their respective religions,

He was prompt in truthfulness and good deeds. 16


In that city the knower of all the Vedas and Shrauta-smarta

There lived a Brahmin named Atmadeva who was skilled in karma

He was like another sun. (17)


He was rich and was a priest. his wife

Dhandhuli belongs to a noble family and is beautiful and always yours

Saying was truthful. (18)


She enjoyed slandering people. she

She was cruel by nature. Always muttering something.

She was skilled in housework, miserly as well as belligerent. (19)


In this way the Brahmin couple in their world with love

Was happy. They have wealth and pleasures

There was plenty. But they were not happy in that glory. (20)


After all, he gave cows, and land to the poor for procreation.

Start donating jumla, money, gold, clothes, etc

(21)


In this way, he gave half of his wealth in charity

spent, yet they begot no son or daughter.

That Brahmin became very worried. (22)


That sad Brahmin left the house one day

And went into the forest. Because he was thirsty in the middle of the day

He came to a pond. (23)


He is sad because he has no children, drinks water

sat there. After a short time, a hermit came there. (24)


Seeing that the ascetic had drunk the water, the Brahmin approached him

Go and prostrate at his feet and sigh deeply

stood up. (25)


The Sannyasa asked, “O Brahmin, why are you crying?

Why are you so anxious? you immediately

Tell me the cause of your sorrow. (26)


Brahmin said - Yati Maharaja, I am my

Suffering from the accumulated sins of previous births

How to describe it? My father I give water for tarpana

It heats up with its own anxious sighs, that's it

drinking. (27)


Devas and Brahmins are pleased with the charity given by me

Not accepting with heart. I am so childless

So sad, I feel like I'm all Sune Sune. I

I have come here to sacrifice myself. (28)


Woe to the childless life. Of a childless household

Damn it. Woe to childless wealth, childless clan

Anyway.(29)

The cow that I reared was barren too. J

 He plants a tree, but it never gets flowers and fruits. (30)

The fruit I bring to my house soon rots

goes As I am so wretched and childless, my

What is the meaning of this life? (31)


So he oxabokshi near the Brahmin ascetic


started crying Then in the heart of that ascetic about Brahman


Great compassion arose. (32)


He was a devoted ascetic. Seeing the forehead of a Brahmin


They knew everything and told him in detail. (33)


Sannyasi said - O Brahmin, the temptation of procreation


give up Work speed is very strong. Take shelter of conscience


And give up the lust of the world. (34)





O Vipravara, listen. I have known your passion.


In the next seven births, you will have children


No. (35)


Earlier King Sagar and Anga suffered due to children


have suffered O Brahmin, you are now the hope of the world


let go Sannyasa alone has all kinds of happiness. (36)



Brahmin said - what is my satisfaction with Viveka


will be By your strength, you are my son


give Otherwise, in grief, I sacrifice my life in front of you. (37)



Sannyas in which there is no happiness of son, wife, etc


It's boring anyway. filled with sons and grandsons in folklore


Grihasthasrama alone is superior. (38)



Seeing this stubbornness of the Brahmin, he became a devoted ascetic


Said, the king is stubborn to erase the article of the legislator


Chitraketu had to face great hardships. (39)



As fate reverses one's efforts


You too will not get happiness from a son. You are stubborn


You stand before me like a supplicant. In this situation I


What can I tell you? (40)



Seeing the Brahmin's stubbornness, the hermit gave him a fruit


He said, Give this fruit to your wife to eat. Tyayoge


She will have a son. (41)


Your wife for one-year truth, holiness, mercy, charity


One kind of food once a day by following them


The rule of eating should be followed. Therefore, the son is good-natured


Nipgel.(42)



So that Yogiraja left and the Brahmin


came to your house. He gave that fruit to his wife


And he went the other way. (43)


His wife was deceitful. She was crying

My friend said, friend, I am very worried

Adjacent. I will not eat this fruit. (44)


Eating fruits will keep the fetus, so the stomach will grow.

Then I will have no food and drink and I will be weak

And if by chance the village is raided by thieves, then

How can I escape pregnancy? Also if like Shukdev

If the fetus stays in the stomach for a long time, how can it get out?

Can it be removed? (46)


If the fetus is breech during delivery (probably)

Lives will also be lost. Also, labor pains

are terrible. I am (so) fragile, how can I bear all this

can I do ? (47)


If I become weak, my Nananda will come and stay at home

Will carry all luggage. Moreover, truth, holiness, etc

It is also difficult to follow the rules. (48)


A woman who gives birth to a child nurtures it

It is very difficult to do. I think barren

Or a widow is happy. (49)


She ate the fruit as she had many such suspicions in her mind

No. When the husband asked, 'Did you eat the fruit?' Then she

Answered, 'Yes, ate.'(50)


One day her sister came to her easily

Then she told her sister all the news and said, “My

There is a lot of concern about this. (51)


I was getting weaker day by day with this worry

is Sister, what shall I do?” The sister said, “I

Until then, you pretend to be pregnant and go home secretly

and stay happy If you give some money to my husband, he

We will make such a trick that all the people will say

That her child died at the age of six months. I

After that, when the woman had a son at the right time, he

| The father secretly brought the boy to Dhundhuli. (56)


And she said to her husband, I am happy

Everyone was happy. (57)


The Brahmin performed the caste ceremony of the child to the Brahmins

Donations were given and mangal instruments were played in front of his house.

Also, auspicious deeds started to happen. (58)


Dhandhuli said to her husband, “From my breast

No milk is coming. So the baby is fed with the milk of cows and other animals

How can I do parenting? (59)


My sister had just had a baby, and she was gone.

Call her and keep her at your house. I mean it's yours

Will take care of the baby. (60)


Then the Atmandev also did the same to protect the son

Then after three months, that cow too

He used to wander (to hunt).(69)



Trapped in the net of prostitutes, he killed his father


All wealth is wasted. A day for parents


He carried away all the pots and pans in the house. (70)



Seeing all the wealth destroyed in this way, he is poor


Father Oxabokshi cried and said - "Barrenness afforded,


But the bad son is the most painful. (71)




Where will I live now? where to go This is my sorrow


Who will destroy? I have a big problem.


It is because of this suffering that I now give my life.” (72)



At the same time, Gnani Gokarna came there and he


Trying to convince the father by preaching renunciation

Gokarna said this world is hell. This is extreme


Sad and seductive. Whose son?


whose money Man with attachment day and night (suffering)


Keeps burning. (74)

are happy. (75)



Abandon the ignorance of 'this is my son'.

After listening to Gokarna, Atmadev went to the forest

. Please tell me in detail what I should do. (77)


-

I'm (really) stupid. In Snehpash by Purvakarma

After being bound, I am like a cripple in this house-like darkness

Lying in the well. O Merciful One, deliver me from this

tax.(78)


Gokarna said - this body, bones, flesh and

There is a storehouse of blood. Apart from saying that the body is 'I'

Give and do not consider the sons and daughters as 'yours'. this world

And he went into the forest. He was sixty years old

However, the intellect was stable. Day and night worship of God-
