Garga Bhagavatham : Golok khanda - Chapter 5
<< PrevChapter Golok Khanda NextChapter>>
Description of the reasons why women from various places and various classes came as Gopis; Description of the arrangements made for their avatar.
Bhagavan Sri Hari says :- Ramaadevi's friends, associates who live in Shwetha dweep (island), and the women who live at the feet of the Lord Ajeeth (Vishnu) and those ladies who reside on the Sreelokachal mountains, are the companions of Sree Lakshmi. They raise out of the ocean and will become Gopikas in Vraj by the grace of Lord Kamalapathi. Based on past deeds, both divine and material (Satva, rajas, and tamas) women with all three characters will become Gopikas in Vrajmandal.
The Divine ladies who had taken the form of children in Ruchi's house were delighted by the Yagna conducted by their father. They fell in love with the deity sculpted for the Yagya of King Ruchi. Later on, by the Guru's advice, Devalji went to the Himalayan mountains and started doing penance. They will all become Gopikas in my Vrij.
When Bhagavan Dhanvantri disappeared from the Earth, the medicinal plants and creepers became very sad and were feeling useless in Bharath varsh. They all took the form of beautiful girls and started their penance. After four ages (yugas), Lord Sri Hari was delighted with them and said, "All of you ask for a boon". Hearing this when the girls opened their eyes, they had sight of Lord Sri Hari and were overawed by what they saw and said "Please give us the chance to worship you forever"
Bhagavan Sri Hari said :- Medicinal plants and creepers in the form of girls, at the end of Dwapara yuga, you will all be in Vrindavan in the form of creepers, and in the "Raas Leela" there, your wish will come true.
Sri Bhagavan says :- Brahma! All these girls who are full of devotion will be Latha (creeper) gopis in Vrindavan. In this way, after seeing the husband of Vrinda, Lord Sri Hari, ladies of Jaalandhar town mentally decide that Lord Sri Hari will be their husband like that of Vrinda. At that time, a voice from heaven says, "All of you immediately start praying to Lord Ramaapathi, then you can also be Gopis like Vrinda in Vrindavan".
During Matsyavatara, the Sea girls (Samudra Kanya) seeing Sri Hari also fall in love with Him. By the grace of The Lord Matsya, they also become Gopikas in Vrindavan.
King Prithu, a part of me, was very powerful; he defeated all his enemies and possessed all material things in the world. At that time, all the girls living in Barhishmati city were attracted to the king. They all approached sage Athri and asked him, "O great sage king Pruth is a courageous and powerful king. Please enlighten us how we can attain him as our husband".
Sage Athri said :- All of you immediately milk and worship this cow, This cow is Mother earth, and she has everything and is very generous, She will full fill all your wishes even if they are as large as the sea and however difficult it is to get.
Brahma! The girls did what sage Athri told them, and as a result, all the girls became Gopikas in Vrindavan. Many Apsaras (lovely girls) whose beauty was very attractive were the army of Kamadev. They went to attract Bhagavan Narayan sage, but after seeing his beauty, they lost all their senses and wanted to have HIM as their husband.
The great sage Narayan told them "you will become Gopis in Vraj and your wish will come true".
Brahma! Ladies of Sutal desh, after seeing Lord Vamana, expressed their desire to attain Him as their husband and started doing penance. Hence, they will also become Gopis. When snake girls saw Bhagwan in Seshaavatar they wanted to become His wives and began to serve Him. They will become Gopis to do Raas vihar with the Lord in Vraj.
Kashyapa will be Vasudev, very venerable Aditi will take the form of Devaki. Surasen will become a Vasu (one who lives in everybody) named Pran, and Dhruv (poles of the Earth will become Devaks (myths). Those who are named Vasu, their origin will be in the form of proof (praakatya). King Daksha, who is very kind, will take the form of Akrura, Kubera, and God of water. Varuna will be famous with the names of Hrideeka and Kritavarma, respectively. Ancient king Praachinabarhi will become Ugrasena. I will make Ugrsena a king constitutional and protect him well. Devoted king Ambarish will be known as Yuyudhan, and the embodiment of devotion will be known as Saathyaki. Shantanu will become the ocean of milk. The great Drona will appear as Bheeshma. Divodas will appear as Shal, and Sun named Bhag will take the form of Dhritarashtra. Deva, by the name of Poosha, will become Pandu. The most respected Dharmaraj will take the form of Yudhishtir. Vayu deva will take the form of the strong and valiant Bheema. Manu will take the form of Arjuna. Shatharupa will be Subhadra, and Suryanarayan will take the form of Karna.

Chandrama will take the form of Abhimanyu. On the Earth, Lord Shankar will become Aswathama, the son of Drona. Like this as per my instructions, all the Devas with the ladies will appear on the Earth as different kings in Yaduvamsha, Kuravamsha, and other vamshas. All the queens in all my previous avatars have been parts of Ramaa. All of them will be included in my sixteen thousand queens.
Narada said :- King! after telling Brahma thus, Bhagavan Sri Hari says to Bhagavati Yogamaya
Bhagavan Sri Hari said :- Great one! You pull the seventh child out of Devaki's womb and insert it into the womb of Vasudeva's wife, Rohini. Being afraid of Kamsa, that lady is living in the home of Nand in Vraj. After doing this, you get into the womb of NandRani.
Sri Narada says :- Great king! After listening to Lord Krishna, along with all the Devas, Brahma paid obeisance to Lord Krishna and, as per their assurance, gave confidence to Mother Earth and left the place.Oh King of Mithila, Janak! please be assured that only Sri Krishna is the Complete (paripoornatam), Lord. He appeared on this Earth for the purpose of killing wicked men like Kamsa and other demons. There are innumerable qualities of Sri Krishna, and it is impossible to count. The devotees of Him only as much as possible to the best of their ability, just like birds can fly only as much as they can.
