Nandagopa hurried to Gokula, worrying about the danger, praying to LORD VISHNU.
kamsena pahitaa ghoraa pootanaa baala ghaatinI
SiSoon cacaara nighnatI pura graama vrajadishu 10.6.2
(The first emissary sent by Kamsa is raakshasi pootana. She is so wicked and a killer of babaies. She went everywhere- to town, villages, people where cowherds live killing all new born babies.)
saa khecari ekadaa upetya pootanaa nanda gokulam
yoshittwaa maayayaa aatmaanam praaviSat kaamacaariNI 10.6.4
(This pootana has the ability to use her magic to take any form. While she was flying across Nanda Gokulam, she took the form of a beautiful lady and approached Nandagopa's house. Even she could not resist the LORD's call. The LORD did not get cheated by her beauty either!)
taam keSabandha vyatishikta mallikaam bRUhan nitamba stana kRucchra maddhyagaam

valgusmitaa apaanga visargga vIkshitai: mano harantIm vanitaam vrajoukasaam
amamsata ambhoja kareNa roopiNIm gopya: Sriyam drashTum iva aagataam patim 10.6.6
(Her hair was done so beautifully. Jasmine garland was tucked around it. Her physique was so perfect, wearing such delicate pretty dress, with shinty ear drops decorating her ears, dangling curls decorating her face. Her smile was so beautiful and a look from her - that is it, every one fell for her. She was holding a lotus in one of her hands - (Oh! NO THIS IS NOT MAHAALAKSHMI AND IT IS STILL POOTANA!!) all the innocent gopIs thought that Mahalakshmi has entered Gokulam to see her LORD who has taken birth in Nandagopa's house! (Their love for Nandagopa's son was so deep that they decided that it can't be anyone other than the LORD)
vibudhya taam baalaka maarikaagraham cara acara aatma sa nimIlita IkshaNa:
anantam aaropayat ankam antakam yathaa uragam suptam abudhi rajjudhI: 10.6.8
(Who can cheat the LORD? Well HE might pretend! Knowing that this is a baby killer, the soul of all mobile and immobiles closed his eyes tight. (because 1. she does not deserve his sweet loving look, 2. he may not have the heart to kill her if he looks at her). Brainless pootana put the eternal, supreme in her lap. She did not know that she was putting her killer in her lap - like mistaking a sleeping snake to be a rope.
-
He is the lord of poison too. How can that do anything to HIM?
tAm tIkshna cittAm ativAma ceshThitAm vIkshyAntarA koSa paricchad asivat
vara striyam tat prabhayA ca dharSite nirIkshyamANe jananI hi atishThatAm 10.6.9
(Putana’s heart was fierce and cruel, but she looked like a very affectionate mother. Thus she resembled a sharp sword in a soft sheath. Although seeing her within the room, YaSoda and RohinI, overwhelmed by her beauty, did not stop her, but remained silent because she treated the child like a mother. And her actions were so quick. With her beauty she mesmerized both rohiNi and yasoda.)
tasmin stanam durjara vIryam ulbanam ghorAnkam AdAya SiSor dadAu atha
gADham karAbhyAm bhagavAn prapIdya tat prANai: samam rosha samanvito apibat 10.6.10
(The evil Rakshasi took the baby on her lap and pushed her breast into His mouth. It was smeared with a very dangerous poison. But who can possibly poison Lord Narayana himself!? Krishna squeezed it very hard with both hands, and sucked out both the poison and her life. He sucked it with so much force as if he was taking revenge for all the killing she has done so far.)
sA munca munca alam iti prabhAshinI nishpIDyamAnA akhila jIva marmaNi
vivRutya netre caranau bhujau muhu: prasvinna gAtrA kshipatI ruroda ha 10.6.11
(As her very life was being sucked by the lord, pootana cried out “Leave me, O Leave me, stop it”. Perspiring, her eyes bulged out and her arms and legs flailing, she cried very loudly again and again. She was not able to bear the pain. The lord seldom holds someone. But, if it does happen, there is no way to escape either. Be it through love or through hatred!)
tasyA: svanena ati gabhIra ramhasA sAdrir mahI dyau: ca cacAla sa graha:
rasA diSaSca pratinedire janA: petu: kshitau vajra nipAta SankayA 10.6.12
(As Pootana screamed loudly, the earth with its mountains, and outer space trembled. All the planets, rasA (nether lands) and all directions shook due to her roar and people fell down, fearing that thunderbolts were falling upon them. pootana fell down with her mouth wide open and she was like vRUtraasura knocked down by devendra.)
patamAno api tad deha: tri gavyooti antara drumAn
coornayAmAsa rAjendra mahad AsIt tad adbhutam 10.6.14
(As pootana was dying she reache her original form as a huge raakshasi. When the gigantic body of pootana fell to the ground, it smashed all the trees within a limit of twelve miles.( tri gavyuti). Oh! King parIkshit, that was an unbelievable sight. She beautiful angel like body was lying there like the most scary and disgusting.)
bAlam ca tasya urasi krIDantam akutobhayam
gopya: toorNam samabhyetya jagRuhu: jAta sambhramA: 10.6.18
(After killing Rakshasi Putana, the baby was playing on her bosom. When the gopîs saw the child playing so happily on that raakshasIs body, they immediately came forward with great jubilation and picked Him up.)
Yasoda and rohiNi were so delighted to see their baby safe and alive. They did raksha (protection) for the baby with purifying things as well as the LORD's name. (these slokas 19-29 are recited to ward off evils) Baby kRUshNa certainly did not need this but, we all do. Yasoda took the baby and fed him with her milk. nadagopa returned and found that almost all the roads were blocked with a raakshasI's dead body. He listened to the unbelievable story. Thanked Vasudeva and the LORD for saving his baby. They cut pootanaa's body into pieces (as it was too big to keep in one pire) and burned it in pieces. They felt a nice fragrant coming out of it (indicating pootana's moksham - LORD touched and that purified her already). Sri Sukar says that LORD gave her the same status that he would give to yasoda amma or devaki amma. So, what all won't HE give to people who approach him with love. Whoever enjoyed pootana moksham will be blessed with absolute prema bhakti on LORD GOVINDA
-
Today and tomorow we will go with the anga raksha done by the gopIs. These are powerful slokas which can be recited for the health/protection of anyone we love and respect.
yaSodA rohinIbhyAm tA: samam bAlasya sarvata:
rakshAm vidadhire samyag gopuccha bhramaNAdibhi: 10.6.19
(Yoshoda, Rohini and other Gopi’s then performed rites to protect the baby against evil forces. In reality kRushNa of course needs no protection from evil forces but it’s a lesson for all us to learn how to love.)

(Sacry and bad dreams, planets that cause hindrance to old and young etc. can be vanquished by uttering Lord Vishnu's name. When Lord Vishnu's name resounds, all of them become afraid and go away. Such is the power of HIS name!)

kadAcid autthAnika kautukAplave janmarksha yoge samaveta yoshitAm
vAditra gIta dvija mantra vAcakai: cakAra sUnor abhishecanam satI 10.7.4
(Sree sukar said: When Krishna was twisting His body to attempt to rise and turn around, this attempt was observed by a Vedic ceremony. In such a ceremony, called utthAna (the child is 28 days), which is performed when a child is due to leave the house for the first time, the child is properly bathed. On that day, there was a conjunction of the moon with the constellation RohinI. Brahmanas were chanting the Vedic hymns, while others were playing musical instruments as well as songs. What a lucky mother! She got to put the gem of Vedas on her leg and pamper him!)
nandasya patnI kRuta majjanAdikam viprai: kRuta svastyayanam supUjitai:
annAdya vAsa: srag abhIshTha dhenubhi: sanjAta nidrAksham aSISayac chanai: 10.7.5
(The brahmanas properly chanted Vedic hymns to observe the auspicious ceremony When she has to do so much, mother Yashoda saw that the child felt sleepy. That mother’s lap was so comfortable that even the LORD felt so so sleepy. SO, she made a nice swing in a cart and put the sleeping baby in that. She asked the kids playing around to keep an eyes on him.)
autthAnika outsukya manA manasvinI samAgatAn pUjayatI vrajaukasa:
na eva aSRuNod vai ruditam sutasya sA rudan stanArthI caranAu udakshipat 10.7.6
(Mother Yashoda, absorbed in celebrating the utthana ceremony, was busy receiving guests, etc.Th ekids were engrossed in play! Thus she could not hear the child crying for His mother. At that time, the baby Krishna, demanding to drink to be fed, angrily threw His legs upward.)
adha: SayAnasya SiSor ano alpaka pravAla mRudu anghri hatam vyavartata
vidhvasta nAnA rasa kupya bhAjanam vyatyasta cakrAksha vibhinna kUbaram 10.7.7
(The baby was lying down under the handcart in one corner of the courtyard and kicked the wheel of the cart. His little feet are as soft as the new leaf for his devotees but, not so for the anit social elements. When He struck the cart with His legs, it turned over violently and collapsed. The wheels separated from the axle, the hubs and spokes fell apart, and the pole of the handcart broke. On the cart there were many little utensils which contained delicacies such as milk, curd and Ghee, and all of them scattered hither and thither. The wheels swirled in the air and cam back as powder! Kamsa had send another emissary, SakaTasura who entered the wheel and started turning it fast in order to crush the baby. The baby pretended that it was crying for milk and attaention. As he planned no one came to the resce. SO, he decided to protect himself and with a akick crushed the SakaTaasura.)
dRushThvA yaSodA pramukhA vraja striya autthAnike karmaNi yA: samAgatA:
nandAdayaS ca adbhuta darSanAkulA: katham svayam vai SakaTam viparyagAt 10.7.8
(When mother Yashoda and the other ladies who had assembled for the utthana festival, and all the men, headed by Nanda, saw the wonderful situation (of the heavily laden cart being destroyed by a small baby and yet being totally unhurt), they began to wonder how the handcart had collapsed by itself. They could not even consider the possibility that a baby could have upturned the cart.)
Ucu: avyavasita matIn gopAn gopISca bAlakA:
rudatAnena pAdena kshiptam etat na samSaya: 10.7.9
(Boys who were playing nearby while the cart turned upside down told the wondering cowherds and the ladies that the cart was indeed destroyed by the baby with a kick while he was crying for food. Thus all their doubts were removed and they knew who was responsible for this. What is notpossible for the LORD. All that is needed is sankalpam.)
na te Sraddadhire gopA bAla bhAshitam ity uta
aprameyam balam tasya bAlakasya na te vidu: 10.7.10
(The assembled gopis and gopas, could not believe the statements of the children, and therefore they neglected these statements as being childish talk. This surely must have been the maya causing the people not to believe the truth.)

To save Bhakti Devi and her children Jnaana and Vairaaghya, naarada was looking for a slotuon. Becasue of Kali they had beome so tired and children were dead. But, brindavanam brought youth to Bhakti. Narada met his brothers Sanatkumaras. Narada fell at their feet and asked for a solution.
bhakti jnaana viraagaaNaam sukham utpadyate katham
sthaapanam sarav varNeshu premapoorvam prayatnata: 3.52
(Oh! Gurus, please tell me what is that need to be done so that bhakti, jnaana and vairaaghya can be installed with supreme love in all the varNaas.)
Kumaras did a bhaagavata saptaaham. They started the maahaatmyam.
bhakteshu govinda suroopa dhartrI premaika kartrI bhavaroga hantrI
saa twam ca tishThaswa sudhairya samsrayaa nirantaram vaishNava maanasaani 3.71
As soon as Kumara's finished the bhaagavata maahaatmyam, Bhakti arrived there with children. It was already house full. She asked the adhyaksha brahma, 'where should I sit? Give a place for me and mu children'. So Kumara's said teh baove slokam. Oh! Devi, you stay as the form of govind in haridaasaas. You are generate only prema. You destroy the jananamaraN cycle. Please eb courageous and enter the heart of all kRushNa bhaktaas and stay there for ever.
Now when Bhakti sits -
sakala bhuvana madhye nirdhanaa: te api dhanyaa:
nivasati hRudi yeshaam sri hare: bhakti: ekaa
harirapi nijalokam sarvadhaa ato vihaaya
praviSati hRudi teshaam bhakti sootra upanaddha: 3.73
Even if they are the penniless they are the most contented & happy ones, if bhakti for hari is living in their heart. Sri Hari also leaves his abode Vaikuntham for ever, by all means, and enter their heart and tie himself with the unbreakable thread of Bhakti.
That hari, that kRushNa, that brahma is what we are enjoying always in everything.

ekadA Aroham ArUdham lAlayantI sutam satI
garimANam SiSor voDhum na sehe giri kUTavat 10.7.18
(One day, mother YaSodA was patting her son on her lap. But suddenly she felt the child to be heavier than a mountain, and she could no longer bear His weight. So she placed him on the ground and went about doing her work. She has no clue that this divine child was increasing his weight so that he will be dumped on the ground and he can handle the tRUNaavartta who is approaching!)
daityo nAmnA tRunAvarta: kamsa bhRutya: praNodita:
cakravAta svarUpena jahAra AsInam arbhakam 10.7.20
(While the child was sitting on the ground, a demon named tRuNaavartta, who was a servant of Kamsa's, came there as a whirlwind (tornado?), at Kamsa's instigation, and very easily carried the child away into the air. He filled Gokulam with dust and noise. Asura’s can do anything with their magic.)
muhUrtam abhavad goshTham rajasA tamasA AvRutam
sutam yaSodA na apaSyat tasmin nyastavatI yata: 10.7.22
(For a while, the whole of Gokulam became dark due to dust storm, and mother Yashoda was unable to find her son where she had placed Him.)
na apaSyat kaScana AtmAnam param cApi vimohita:
tRunAvarta nisRushthAbhi: SarkarAbhir upadruta: 10.7.23
(tRuNAvartta threw stone at everyone fiercely that people became unconscious and could not feel themselves let alone others, and thus they were greatly disturbed by this incident.)
tRunAvarta: SAntarayo vAtyA rUpa dharo haran
kRushNam nabho gato gantum na aSaknod bhUri bhAra bhRut 10.7.26
(Having assumed the form of a forceful whirlwind, the demon tRuNAvarta took the baby high up in the sky. When he reached enough height, the baby started increasing his weight! (Well, he is supremost magician!) The demon had to stop and could go any further. See how easily he accomplishes his actions!)
tam aSmAnam manyamAna: Atmano guru mattayA
gaLe gRuhIta utsrashtum na aSaknod adbhuta arbhakam 10.7.27
(To tRuNAvarta it appeared as if the baby was as heavy as huge mountain. However, the baby tightly caught hold of the demon’s neck and as a result the demon could not shake Him off. It was at this point that he realized that this was no ordinary baby.)
gala grahana niSceshTo daityo nirgata locana:
avyakta rAvo nyapatat saha bAlo vyasur vraje 10.7.28
(With the baby grasping him by the throat, tRuNAvartta choked due to His immense weight. He was unable to make even a meaningful sound. His eyes popped out, the demon lost his life and fell and along with the baby. He fell down to the ground of Vraja.
tam antarikshAt patitam SilAyAm viSIrNa sarvAvayavam karAlam
puram yathA rudra Sarena viddham striyo rudatyo dadRuSu: sametA: 10.7.29
(While the gopis who had gathered were crying for the baby (such is their devotion that they could not even bear separation from this divine child even for a moment), the demon fell from the sky onto a big slab of stone. His body parts scattered everywhere, as if he had been pierced by the arrow of Lord Shiva himself.)
Another emissary of Kamsa who dug a hole for himself! Their own traits lead them to their end!
With Prayers to that kRushNa.
-
Entire Gokulam was ecstatic when they saw that the precious baby was alive despite the fall from the skies. The Gopis started saying that the sin killed the asura and the Lord saved the baby!
kim na: tapa: cIrNam adhokshaja arcanam pUrta ishTa dattam uta bhUta sauhRudam
yat sampareta: punar eva bAlako dishTyA sva bandhUn pranayan upasthita: 10.7.32
(The Gopis said: We must have performed great austerities, worshiped the Supreme Lord (Vishnu), performed pious activities, and also given charity, as a result of which this boy, although faced with death, has come back to give happiness to all of us. Nanda Gopa remembered Vasudeva’s warning and thanked him for the support.)
ekadA arbhakam AdAya svAnkam Aropya bhAminI
prasnutam pAyayAmAsa stanam sneha pariplutA 10.7.34
(One day mother Yashoda, placed her little darling on her lap and fed Him milk from her breast with great love and affection. Is there anyone who is as lucky as this mother? Of course each mother is when she sees kRushNa in her baby.)
pIta prAyasya jananI sutasya rucira smitam
mukham lAlayatI rAjan jRumbhato dadRuSe idam 10.7.35
(When the child almost finished drinking His mother's milk and mother Yashoda was softly rubbing Him with her hands. She was enjoying the lovely, beautiful, brilliantly smiling face. The baby yawned (As naaraayaNa, he never gets a chance to do this!), and mother Yashoda saw in His mouth the following: Sri Sukar who was experiencing as he was narrating this. He calles out for Parishit, ‘Oh! Rajan, this is what happened!’)
kham rodasI jyotir anIkam ASA: sUryendu vahni Svasana ambudhIn ca
dvIpAn nagAn tad duhitur vanAni bhUtAni yAni sthira jangamAni 10.7.36
(Mother Yashoda saw in His mouth the whole sky, all the worlds and the earth, the sun, the moon, fire, air, the seas, islands, mountains, rivers, forests, and all kinds of living entities, moving, static adn what not!)
sA vIkshya viSvam sahasA rAjan sanjAta vepathu:
sammIlya mRugaSAvAkshI netre AsIt suvismitA 10.7.37
(Sri Sukar who saw the viswaroopam with yaSoda called out, 'oh! Raajan, see this'. When mother Yashoda saw the whole universe within the mouth of her child, her heart began to beat rapidly, and her eyes were wide open at the awesome sight (just like the eyes of a deer). YaSoda was shocked to see this wonderful yet scary vision of the entire world in His mouth. She could not bear it anymore and she closed her eyes tightly. The baby wanted to show his mother why he was so heavy and showed the whole creation which is just inside him.) Another smile from him erased all her memory and she started pampering the baby again! If the daivattwam memory stays with the mother, the baby will be the loser! Such is the mother's love - that too from mother yaSoda.
Oh! That kRushNa, who can do anything and everything, we offer ourselves at your lotus feet.
-
Now our baby is getting named! What a sweet name!! So attractive. Glues us.A perfect avataaram for nurturing bhakti in Kali.
Garga: purohito rAjan yadUnAm sumahA tapA:
vrajam jagAma nandasya vasudeva pracodita: 10.8.1
(Sree *beep* said: O Maharaja Parikchit, the priest of the Yadu dynasty Garga, was highly great ascetic. Vasudeva requested Him to go see Nanda gopa at his home in Vraja. Vasudeva wished the naming ceremony to be performed by his Guru.)
jyotishAm ayanam sAkshAd yat tat jnAnam atIndriyam
pranItam bhavatA yena pumAn veda parAvaram 10.8.5
(People in Vraj thought that evils are casting on the baby as they have not done the naming ceremony yet, though the baby is crawling and killing! Nanda Gopa decided to meet his Guru SaanDilya. But, met Gargaaccarya on the way. Nanda Gopa greeted Garga with great respect with both his palms joined together and said: Oh! great sage, you have compiled the astrological knowledge by which one can understand past and present and the future. An ordinary person cannot understand the effects of stars and planets on his life, but because of you people can now understand the cause and the effect of one’s destiny. )
tvam hi brahma vidAm SreshTha: samskArAn kartum arhasi
bAlayor anayor nruNAm janmanA brAhmano guru: 10.8.6
(My lord, you are the best among the experts, with deep understanding of Vedas and the brahmam. Since you have kindly come to my house, please conduct the naming ceremony for these two boys. (the children of yaSoda and rohiNi). Typically Nanda’s spiritual guru would have conducted this ceremony, but because Garga Muni is so qualified he allows him the privilege to conduct the naming ceremony. Reality of course is that the lord wanted to give the cprevilege to his own family guru Garga Muni.)
yadUnAm aham AcArya: khyAtaS ca bhuvi sarvatA:
sutam mayA samskRutam te manyate devakI sutam 10.8.7
(Garga said: My dear Nanda Gopa, I am the priest of the Yadu dynasty. This is well known everywhere. Therefore, if I perform the naming ceremony for your sons, Kamsa will consider them the sons of Devaki. Don’t you know the wickeds are smarter? Still they can’t beat the LORD’s materplan!!)
Kamsa: pApa mati: sakhyam tava ca Anakadundubhe:
devakyA aShTamo garbho na strI bhavitum arhati 10.8.8
(Kamsa has a very evil and a twisted mind. He knows about the friendship between you and Vasudeva. Furthermore he suspects that the eighth child of Devaki could not be a girl. Why won’t he, if this baby is acting like wonder child? Well, our hero also wants to fill him with fear!)
iti sancintayan SrutvA devakyA dArikA vaca:
api hantA Agata ASanka: tarhi tan no anayo bhavet 10.8.9
(He will surely be thinking about the remark made by Devaki’s daughter that his killer had already been born! (What a perfect sister for our wonderful brother!) He might put all this together and come to the conclusion that these babies are children of Vasudeva and Devaki. If we commit this blunder this would be the terrible mistake of our stupidity.)
Guru’s intention was neither scaring Nanda Gopa nor missing the chance of naming this divine children. Come up with a secret plan which is already encoded in the message!

udatishThan sadasyaa: te swadhishNyebhya: sahaagnaya:
Rute virincam Sarvam ca tad bhaasaa aakshipta cetasa: 4.2.6
(Long back they were having the prajaapati's conference. Like usual, the chief decided to come at the end to get all the attention. So, Daksha (who has been appointed as the prajaapatipati), was the last one to arrive. All the Devas, Brahma, Siva, angnis all of them were waiting. When Daksha entered, everyone got attracted by his slpendor and stood up except Brahma and Siva. Brahma did not becasue he is Daksha's father and SIva did not be casue he is 'sivanena' (being an aatmaaramma what can attract him, what can turn him away?) Dkasha bowed to Brahma and got raged seeing this Siva with an indefferent attitude sittting in the front.)
Srooyataam brahmaRushayo me sahadevaa: sahaagnaya:
saadhoonaam bruvata: vRUttam na ajnaanaat ca matsaraat 4.2.9
(With reddened eyes he roared, 'Oh! BrahmRushIs, Devas, AgnIs, please listen to what I am saying carefully. This information is not because of my ignorance or competition!!!' WHAT AN ARROGANCE? SOME CREATIONS HAVE THE ABILITY TO SEE INNOCENCE AND PURITY AS AN INSULT!!)
I certainly don't want to write sivaninda here!! Daksha started abusing Siva and cursed that he should not be given his share (rudra bhaagam) in any yajna. Siva thought that things will cool down if he walks away and so left the palce with a smile. This only raged Daksha more. The abuse continued. Nandi, who is the leader of SIva devotees could not take this. (How can devotee take Gurunida?) Nandi bhagavaan cursed Daksha to be a karmaTha and animal and one with a goat face in the near future.. Bhrugu and other Rutwiks took Dakhsha's side and cursed Siva side. Everyone crossed their limit and dispersed. Daksha refused to meet with SIva after that. DaakshaayaNi did not have any porantaam (mother's place) visits. This went on for a long time. This is the reason for the enemity bewteen Dkasha and SIva which led to the Daksha yaagam and satI prANatyaagam, Dkasha getting beheaded by Veerabhadran, SIva waking him up with a goat face, finally Daksha ending his life becasue fo teh sivadwesham that he did..... PATH OF ARROGANCE - rather this drama was enacted to teach us the results of arrogance!
