<< Prev Maadhurya-khanda Next>>
Sri Krishna gives his Darshan and Moksha to King Vimal upon receiving his message; Sri Krishna returns to Vraj-Mandal along with King Vimal's daughters
Sri Narada says:- King! After that, the messenger again left Sindhudesh and came
to Mathura Mandal. In Vrindavan, he saw Sri Krishna moving around on the banks
of Yamuna. After doing parikrama around Sri Krishna and prostrating before Him,
he told Sri Krishna with folded hands, what king Vimal had asked him to tell.
Messenger said:- My salutations to Bhagawan Sri Krishna, who Himself is the
ParaBrahma Parameswar, who is unique and invisible to everyone, The Ultimate
God who raises above heaps of saintly deeds, even then gives darshan to loving
saints. To safeguard cows, Brahmanas, devatas, Vedas, saintly people and to
give darshan to devoutly religious ones, even though being without birth, and
to slay demons like Kamsa and others, the One who has taken birth in Yadu clan,
my salutations to that Sri Krishna, who is the ocean of all these virtues. This
is the good fortune of the residents of Vraj. Your father Nandaraj's clan is
blessed, where You the Supreme God Sri Hari is born. Lord! You are the shining
necklace studded with blue gems on the neck of Sri Radharani, similar to the
fragrance of Kasturi(musk) You are well known everywhere and Your pure glory
which is present everywhere makes everyone in all the three worlds pure. You
know the minds of all as You are the all-knowing soul of everybody and is the
witness of all heaps of deeds and actions. Even then, I will tell you the most
secret subject related to Yourself, which king Vimal has told me. In
Sindhudesh, there is a beautiful town called Champaka as beautiful as
Indrapuri, it's reigning king Vimal is as rich as Indra himself. His mind is
always focussed on Your Lotus Feet.For the sake of Your blessing he has
performed crores oblations(yagnas) and has given many donations, penanced,
worshipped Brahmanas and holy waters, and meditated.Considering all his
righteous endeavors, You kindly favor him with Your most valuable darshan. He
has many daughters who are beautiful with eyes that look like fully blossomed
lotuses and are waiting to attain You, The Supreme God as their husband. Those
princesses, to attain You, are always following all the precepts and fasting
and worshipping Your Lotus feet, their minds and bodies are purified. God of
Vraj! Pray, please favor them with Your exquisite and wonderful darshan and
marry them. At this time, please think about the duty that has come before you
here, Please come to Sindhudesh and purify the people there with your sacred
darshan.
Sri Narada says:- King! Bhagawan Sri Hari was very pleased with the words of the
messenger and immediately went with the messenger to Champakapuri. At that
time, the great oblation was being performed by King Vimal. Veda mantras were
being recited. Along with the messenger, Bhagawan Sri Krishna Himself descended
from the sky in that yagna. Seeing Bhagawan Sri Hari, who was shining with the
emblem of Srivatsa on His chest, with a dark shine similar to clouds, wearing a
beautiful Vanamala, wearing yellow attire and lotus-eyed, appear at the site of
the yagna, king Vimal stood up with great and pleasant surprise and with folded
hands fell at the feet of Bhagawan. At that time every part of his body was
thrilled. Then he got up and seated Bhagawan on his throne which was decorated
with rare gems and sung His praise and worshipped Him according to proper
procedures and stood in front of Him. Looking at the princesses who were seeing
Him through windows, Madhav Sri Krishna said in a voice which resembled the
thunder of clouds thus.
Sri Bhagawan said:- Well learned one! Ask me whatever boon your heart desires. Only
by the grace of sage Yagnavalkya, you are having my darshan.
Vimal said:- God of Gods! My mind
wants to be a bee and live at your Feet, this is my wish. Other than this there
is no other desire in my mind.
Sri Narada says:- Saying thus, king Vimal dedicated all his wealth and grandeur,
elephants, horses along with chariots to Sri Krishna. He presented himself also
to His feet. King! He handed over all his daughters to Sri Hari according to
the principles and king Vimal prostrated with great devotion in front of Sri
Krishna. At that time, sounds of victory emanated from the crowd of people and
the Gods standing in the sky showered divine flowers at that place. Then at the
same time, Vimal got the darshan of Bhagawan Sri Krishna's original form. The
luster of His body shined like that of Kamadev. Having the brightness of a
Hundred Suns, He lighted up the entire universe. In front of the eyes of all
those people, who were present at that yagna, king Vimal along with all his
queens climbed on Garuda and offering salutations to the flag of Garuda flew
away to Vaikuntalok. In this manner giving salvation to the king, Bhagawan
Srikrishna came to Vrajmandal along with King Vimal's lovely daughters. There
in the delectable Kamavan which was graceful with divine shrines, those
beloveds of Krishna resided and enjoyed playing Kundakakreeda with Bhagawan. As
many as those beloveds of Sri Krishna were there, He took that many forms and
played Raas with each one of them. The tears of joy that flowed from the eyes
of the daughters of Vimal formed a pond called Vimalkund. Best of Kings! By
having darshan of that Vimalkund, drinking that water, bathing, and worshipping
it, humans can rid of sins as large as the Meru mountains and attain Golokdham.
Those who listen to this episode of the girls of Ayodhya can go to Golokdham
which is impossible even to yogis.
