O Learned and Devoted Servants of God,
1) Ekadā vyathayā Rādhā, Tyaktvā Bṛndāvanaṃ vanam|
Mahārāsād gatā dūraṃ, Rudantī madhurasvarā ||
[Once upon a time, in the Dvāpara age, Śrī Rādhā left the Mahā-Rāsa dance taking place in the forest of Bṛndāvanam and went very far from the forest with high depression weeping with sweet voice.]
2) Sakṛdantardadhe Kṛṣṇaḥ, Sa nrutyā nmadhya maṇḍalāt |
Rādhā mupetya duḥkhena, Brūte sma madhusūdanaḥ ||
[Lord Krishna, who is called Madhusūdana or killer of the demon called as Madhu, immediately disappeared from the central point of the circle of the Rāsa-dance. He appeared before Rādhā and came close to her. He started speaking to Rādhā like this.
(The word Madhusūdana means killer of Madhu Demon. The word ‘Madhu’ indicates Madhura Bhakti or Sweet devotion. Sweet devotion is divine when it is filled with divine love. The same sweet devotion becomes demonic if it is filled with just beastly worldly lust. God kills such sweet devotion filled with false lust devoid of true divine love.)]
Śrī Kṛṣṇa Bhagavān uvāca:-
[God Shri Krishna spoke:-]
3) Rādhike kimabhuutte'dya?, Rasakeli cyutiḥ kutaḥ? |
Kimartha māgatā dūram?, Kimarthamapi rodiṣi?||
[Oh Rādhikā! What happened to you today? Why have you left the Rāsakeli dance? Why have you come so far? Also, why are you weeping like this?]
4) Mahāmāyā'si me Rādhe!, Tvattaḥ pariṇatā jagat |
Tāpāt te prakṛuti ssṛṣṭiḥ, bhavitā pralayonmukhī ||
[O Rādhā! You are My mystic power called as Mahā Māyā. This creation is your direct modification only. If you are pained, this entire creation called as Prakruti will start entering into its own dissolution.]
Śrī Rādhā Devī uvāca:-
[Shri Raadhaa Devii spoke:-]
5) Coro'si kevalaṃ na tvam, jāro māyāviśekharaḥ |
Jārā rahasi vartante, jagatpratyakṣakṛt bhavān! ||
[You are not only the thief of butter, but also an illegal sex-monger. Even the illegal sex-mongers hide themselves secretly. You are publicizing Your illegal sex affair to the entire world by this dance done in the Bṛndāvanam forest!]
6) Mama pārśvasthito madhye, bhinno'si bahudhā sakṛt |
Ekaika Gopikā pārśvam, gatvā śṛṅgāra darśakaḥ ||
[You were standing by my side in the centre point of the circulating dance. At once, You multiplied Yourself into several forms. Each form is standing by the side of each Gopika and exhibiting Your romance with each Gopika.]
7) Nāgatastvaṃ mahā māyā – premṇā sṛṣṭiḥ priyā tava |
Necchāmi matpadaṃ śāntyai, māṃ vivartaya cāśmavat ||
[Even now, You did not come to me due to Your true love on me. You have come to me to save the creation from my anger. Creation is more dear to You than myself. I don’t want my position as Goddess Mahā Māyā. You remove me from my position and turn me into a stone in Your creation so that I can exist with eternal peace.]
8) Eva muktvā papāta drāk, Vṛṣaabhānu sutā bhuvi |
Vilapantī galadbāṣpa – vṛṣṭyā śvāsā'nilograyā ||
[Like this, Śrī Rādhā Devii, the daughter of King Vṛṣabhānu, spoke and suddenly fell on the ground with continuous weeping. Her eyes were raining tears and her speedy respirations were like the violent waves of wind mingled with heavy cyclonic rain.]
Śrī Kṛṣṇa Bhagavān uvāca:-
[God Shri Krishna spoke:-]
9) Nāhaṃ bhinnassvayaṃ sṛṣṭāḥ, jīvāḥ Kṛṣṇā ihādhunā |
Svabhede bahu jīvānām, sarge śaktirmamā'sti hi ||
[In the present dance happening at Bṛndāvanam, the Krishnas appearing are not Creator-Krishnas since I didn’t multiply Myself at all. In fact, I have created those Krishnas, who are just human beings only and they are not different from the human beings created by Me. I have the power to multiply Myself into many forms and I also have the power to create human beings having My own form as it is.]
10) Gopikā sadane coraḥ, śayānassvagṛhe sakṛt |
Rāse tu jīva sṛṣṭiśca, yatra śṛṅngāra ceṣṭitam ||
[Even in the past, I had multiplied Myself so that I stayed in the house of Mother Yaśodā sleeping on the bed and simultaneously stayed in the houses of Gopikas to steal their butter. In this context, there is no romance and hence, I multiplied My own self. In the context of this Rāsa-dance, there is need of romantic activity between Myself and Gopikas and hence, I created some Krishnas, who are just equal to human beings already created by Me in this creation.]
11) Ahaṃ Dattaḥ Parabrahma, Yo'vatāro hi taijasaḥ |
Ādyo mānuṣa rūpo'tra, so'vatāro bhavatyapi ||
[I am the unimaginable God called God Datta. The unmediated unimaginable God becomes God Datta, the first energetic incarnation, when He is mediated by the energetic medium. I have incarnated on this earth through a human medium and became a human incarnation called God Krishna. You are also a human incarnation of the same unimaginable God just like Myself.]
12) Dattānaghopādhi pathā, tadanūhyaṃ mayi tvayi |
Naropādhi dvayaṃ Deve – Bhakte Jñāne jaḍe dvidhā ||
[That unimaginable God has incarnated as human incarnations called Krishna, Myself, and Rādhā, yourself, through the energetic incarnations of Datta and His power Anaghā respectively. I am in the role of knowledge and you are in the role of ignorance, but, the Parabrahman or unimaginable God is one and the same actor in our two roles.]
13) Rādhe! Rāmava dajñā tvam, bhaktapātre tvahaṃ gurau |
Brahmokta Brahmacāryasmi, svarūpā'si yataḥ priye! ||
[O Darling Rādhā! You are in the role of a devotee and hence, you are covered by full ignorance. Don’t think that the ignorant roles are always given to females only. Even God Rama existed in the role of a fully ignorant human being throughout the period of His incarnation so that He can mix with the other ignorant human beings and can stand as an ideal human being. The same unimaginable God while incarnating as devotee through your role, simultaneously incarnated as the divine preacher through My role. Since yourself and Myself are essentially the same Parabrahman (unimaginable God) only, there is no dualism between both of us. Hence, God Brahma told that this Krishna alone is the perfectly chaste celibate.]
14) Rukmiṇyapi bhavatyeva, Viṣṇorme śakti rūpiṇī |
Durvāsaso'vatārastvam, Śivasya Gopikādhipā ||
[Even Rukmini is yourself only because she is the incarnation of Goddess Mahā Lakshmi, the personified power of God Vishnu, whose incarnation is Myself. You are also said to be the incarnation of Sage Durvāsa, who is the incarnation of God Shiva. You are the leader of all these Gopikas of Brundaavanam.]
15) Āvāṃ śakti śaktimantau, ahaṅkāra dvayaṃ smṛtam |
Upādhi janmataḥ pūrvam, naṭa eko'pyahantayā ||
[O Rādhā! You are the power and I am the possessor of the power. Both cannot be separated. You are feeling your identity separately as ‘I’. I am feeling My identity separately as another ‘I’. This separate identification started when we both appeared as separate personalities. Before the appearance of such double roles, there was only one actor with His personal identification as one ‘I’ only.]
16) Rādhā Kṛṣṇā vimau veṣaū, Parabrahma naṭasya hi |
Nātīte deśakālau sto, vārdhau vācyau jalagrahe ||
[Krishna and Rādhā are the two expressed roles of the same one basic actor called Parabrahman or unimaginable God. This Parabrahman is beyond space and time. Hence, which portion of Parabrahman became Krishna and which portion of the same Parabrahman became Rādhā cannot be told. In the case of the sea, we can at least say that we lifted the first pot of water from this place and the second pot of water from the other place. But, in this case, Parabrahman has Its own single identification as one ‘I’ only.]
17) Parabrahma Mahā māyā, Dattasyaivānaghā tathā |
Triśaktayas trimūrtīnām, Rādhā Kṛṣṇasya śakyate ||
[The unimaginable power of Parabrahman called as Mahā Māyā became the power of God Datta when Parabrahman merged with the first energetic being to become God Datta, the first energetic incarnation. God Datta is also called as Hiraṇyagarbha (Brahma), Narāyaṇa (Vishnu) and Īśvara (Shiva). Similarly, Mahā Māyā, who became the power of God Datta called as Goddess Anaghā, also became the power of the above Trinity called as Saraswati (power of Brahma), Lakshmi (power of Vishnu) and Parvati (power of Shiva). Krishna is the incarnation of God Datta and Rādhā is the incarnation of Goddess Anaghā. Therefore, as God Datta is Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva, Goddess Anaghā is Saraswati, Lakshmi and Parvati.]
18) Tvaṃ me śaktiḥ puraḥ proktā, jñānadātrī Sarasvatī |
Lakṣmīr balaṃ kriyā Gaurī, trimūrti Datta Kṛṣṇagā ||
[Just like Mahā Māyā is the power of Parabrahman, Goddess Anaghā is the power of God Datta, Goddess Saraswati is the power of God Brahma, Goddess Lakshmi is the power of God Vishnu, Goddess Parvati is the power of God Shiva, Goddess Rādhā is the power of God Krishna. The power of God Krishna called Rādhā is Saraswati, who creates the knowledge of plan of any program, Lakshmi, who is the power of strength of the program and Parvati, who is the power of action of the program. I am Krishna, Datta, Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva. You are Rādhā, Anaghā, Saraswati, Lakshmi and Parvati. You are present in Me as My power.]
19) Rāsa nṛtyasya racanā – jñānaṃ tadbalakarma te |
Tvāṃ khaṇḍayasi bhavatī, pātrājñānaṃ puro matā ||
[Therefore, this plan of Rāsa dance is given by you only. You are the strength of this dance and you are the action of this dance. You are contradicting your own program and blaming Me! Anyway, do not worry since I am giving the reason for your present illusion also. You forgot yourself because you are covered with very strong ignorance for the sake of the role of an ideal devotee in order to mix with ignorant human devotees. This is the first basic reason for your ignorance.]
20) Dattān Madhumatī śaptā, Mahiṣī sā'surī purā |
Lokasaṅgraha rakṣārtham, bhavatyeva sadarcane ||
[I am giving the second reason also. In your previous state of energetic incarnation, you took another human incarnation called Madhumati when God Datta took the human incarnation called Sage Dattatreya. In that period of incarnation, you embraced Sage Dattatreya while He was performing the ritual worship of God for the sake of the world called Lokasamgraha (This means that even though Sage Dattatreya is God Himself, He worships God so that others can imitate Him and worship God.).]
21) Sā hatā Maṇikaṇṭhena, Dattenaiva pramāsinā |
Jñānadevī punar bhūtvā, svasthitiṃ prāpa cā'naghā ||
[Then, in view of the protection of His duty called Lokasamgraha, Sage Dattatreya cursed Madhumati to become a demon called Mahiṣī. That demon was killed by God Datta Himself through another human incarnation called Śāstā or Manikantha. Mahiṣī, the embodiment of ignorance was removed by the spiritual knowledge of Sage Dattatreya and Madhumati regained her original position.]
22) Tvāmāveśya bhramaṃ cakre, Mahiṣī brahmarakṣasī |
Ajñānaṃ dviguṇam te'bhūt, duḥkhaṃ ca dṛśyate bhuvi ||
[The same demon Mahiṣī became a demonic ghost after her death and is possessing you now so that you forget your own personality and enter into a wrong conclusion. This ignorance possessed by Mahiṣī that is superimposed on your brain at present is the second reason. Due to these two reasons of ignorance, you are doubly ignorant so that you have forgotten your original divine personality and are affected by depression in this way. Even an ordinary ghost can make any human being to enter into complete ignorance and suffering.]
23) Ajñam na taijasaṃ dravyam, nṛṇāmeva tamas Śivāt |
Jñānam tasmācca sā śaktiḥ, trividhā śṛyate khalu ||
[Goddess Anaghā, Saraswati, Lakshmi and Parvati will not have ignorance because they are energetic forms. Ignorance is the quality of Tamas, which represents matter. Awareness represents Sattvam (Lakshmi) and inert action represents the inert energy (Parvati). Tamas or matter is related to Shiva and you are the incarnation of Shiva. Since Shiva is the source of knowledge also (Jñānaṃ Maheśvarāt...), you will regain your original status of knowledge after sometime. The Veda says that the power of Parabrahman is of three types:- Knowledge, Strength and Action (Jñānabalakriyā ca), representing Saraswati, Lakshmi and Parvati.]
24) Śakteḥ patis samartho'sti, dvidhā na jñā'si Sadguruḥ |
Sadasat tarka vaktā'ham, vivṛṇomi samantataḥ ||
[Since Saraswati is the power of God Brahma, Brahma became the author of the Veda or knowledge. Since Lakshmi is the power of God Vishnu, Vishnu became the source of strength and we can realize that wealth is the strength at any time. Since Parvati is the power of God Shiva, Shiva became the deity of destruction action. Due to your double ignorance, you are unaware of this deep background and since I am in the role of divine preacher or Sadguru, I am revealing all your background with sharp and perfect analysis.]
