हिन्दी अर्थ

परमेश्वर! आपने पृथिवीका भार उतारनेके लिये ही पृथिवीपर अवतार लिया है

English

í arasara said :— Wliilst Krishna and Rama were tlius sporting in Vraja the rainy season ended — the auturon appeared and the lotuses became full-blown. The Safari fish in their watery burrows, were oppressed by the heat like a man by his selfish desires, who is attached to his family. The peacocks, renouncing all amusements, became silcnt like the asceties withdrawing themselves from worldly enjoy- ments considering their unreality. The clouds of shining whiteness, exhausted of their watery wealth, deserted the sky like the wise who have acquired wisdom, departing from their home. Evaporated by the rays of the autumnal sun, the Iakes were dried up, like the heaits of men withered by the contact of selfishness. The silent water of the autumn were beautified by white water-lilies, Iike the minds of the pure by the perception of truth. The moon shone wilh undiminished brilliance in the sky crested with star like the saint, who has reached the last stage of bodily existence in the company of the pious. " The rivers and lakes slowly went far off frora their banks as the wise by degrees shrink from the selfish attachment that connects them with their wife and children. The swans again began to frequent those lakes which they had abandoned before like false ascetics whose devotions are interrupted and they are agaiu stricken wilh numberless afBictions. The ocean, with silent waters, became perfectly calm like the accomplished saint who has gone through rigid penances and has acquired undisturbed tranquility of spirit. Everywhere the waters are as clear and pure as the minds of the wise who behold Vishnu in all things. The autumnal sky was perfectly free from clouds like the heart of H' e ascetic, whose cares have been devoured by the fire of devo-

tion.0 The moon allayed the fervours* of ihe sun as discrimination removes the pain consequent upon egotism. The autumn removed the clouds from the sky ; the muddiness of the earth and the discoloration of the waters, as abstraction draws away. the senses from the objects of perception. The water of the'lake, by becoiring full, stationary and again declined, performed as if the exercise of inspiring, suppres- sing and expiring the vital air.

किन्तु आपने पर्वतको उखाड़कर गौओंको बचा लिया। है वीर! आपके इस अद्भुत कर्मसे मैं अति

English

At this season, when the heavens>were clear and bright wilh stars, Krishna, once repairing to Vraja, saw the inhabi- tants engaged in the celebration of a sacrifice in lionor of Sakra. Beholding all the cow-herds busily and anxiously engaged in making preparation, Krishn, gifted with high. intellect, as if, out of curiosity asked the elders, saying— " What festival of Sakra is this, in which you are taking so much delight?" To him thus asking, the cow-herd thus lovingly said — "Satakratu (performer of liundred sacrificeg), the king of the celestials, is the lord of the clouds and waters ; ordered by him the clouds pour dovvn vvater on earth, by which the grain is produced, on which we and othe cmbodi- ed beings live and by which we please the gods. By this too these cows bear calves and give milk and are happy and well-nourished. Wherever the clouds pour watets, the earth is neither barren of corn, nor bare of verdure, nor is man stricken with hunger. Having drunk the milk of the earth by means of the rays of the sun, Indra, the giver of water, pours it again on earth for the sustenance of all the worlds. For this reason all sovereign princes offer, with delight, sacri- fices to Indra at the end of the rainy reason, and so also do we and so do the other people."

four, divisions of knowledge— logical, spiritual, practical, and political. Hear from me, nthat is the practical scieoce. -Agriculture, commerce and tending of cattle— the kno.wledge of these three professions, noble Sire, is the practical science. Agricukure is the means of subsistence to the cultivators, buying and selling to the traders, and tending of cattle is our subsistence. The practical science has thus been divided into tliree branches. The object, that is culti- vated by any one, s&ould be to him, his chief deity — he must worsliip that, for that is liis benefactor. O father, the. man who. worsliips another's deity, recejring the fruít foom his own, does not obtain a prospecous situation eithér in'this world or in the next. Where the laud is no longer cultivated there are limits assigned, beyond which begins tlieforest; the forests are bounded by the hills and so far do our limits extend. We are not conf.ned witliin doprs or walls, we have neither fields nor homes ; we wander about happily wherever we Jike in our waggons.* We have heard that the spiriis oj these' mountains, assuming whatever shapes they like, walk in the woods upon their own precipices. If they are djjplease^ w ' ln tliose who inhabit the forests, tben transfor- ming themselves to lions and beasts of prey, they will like the offenders. We are thus bound to worship the raountains and ofíer sacrifices to cattlf. What have vve to do witb Indra? Cattle and mountains are our gods. Brahmans offer worship with prayer; cultivators of the earth worship their laud- marks ; but we, who tend our cattle in the forests and moun- tains, should worship tliem andour kioe. Let prayer andoffer- ings be tlien made to the mountain Govardhana and let us duly kijl a victim, Let milk be collected from all stations and let us feed Brahmans and all others who wisli to par.take of it— .00 need of any judgment about it. When the oblations have þeen presented and the Brahmans have been fed let the cotv-
