Srimad BHAGAWATHAM

evam sandarSitA hi anga hariNA bhRutya vaSyatA
sva vaSenApi kRushNena yasya idam seSvaram vaSe 10.9.19

(Sri Sukar who was completely caught up in the moment cried out to Pariksit: “O Dear King, Sri Krishna is the same lord who rules over the entire universe as well as all the gods (including Brahma and Indra) yet he has one weakness. He is the servant to his devotees!” This very behavior was being exhibited by Lord Krishna towards Yashoda. The lesson from this episode is quite simple, love Lord Krishna with all your heart and Krishna himself will take do the needful.)

Na imam virinco na bhavo na SrIr api anga samSrayA
prasAdam lebhire gopI yat tat prApa vimuktidAt 10.9.20

(Neither Lord Brahma, nor Lord Shiva, nor even the goddess of fortune Sri, who is the better half of the Supreme Lord and whose very abode is on His person, can obtain this blessing from the Lord. Only mother Yashoda could tie HIM up because of putra vaatsalyam. Who would dare to tie up the LORD?)

nAyam sukhApo bhagavAn dehinAm gopikA suta:
jnAninAm cAtma bhUtAnAm yathA bhaktimatAm iha 10.9.21

(Lord Krishna, the son of Mother Yashoda is not easily accessible to jnanis (people with great wisdom, as they are aatmaaraamaas who will tie whom with what?) and certainly not to those people who identify themselves with their physical bodies. Yet he’s the servant of those people who have prema bkahti for HIM.)

kRushnas tu gRuha kRutyeShu vyagrAyAm mAtari prabhu:
adrAkshId arjunau pUrvam guhyakau dhanada aatmajau 10.9.22

(While mother Yashoda was very busy with household affairs, the Lord, Krishna, observed twin arjuna trees who were two yakshas and were the sons of Kubera.)

purA nArada SApena vRukshatAm prApitau madAt
nalakUbara manigrIvAu iti khyAtau SriyAnvitau 10.9.23

(In their former birth, these two sons, known as Nalakubara and Manigriva, were extremely arrogant. Because of pride and false prestige, they did not care about anyone, and thus Narada Muni cursed them to become trees)

how can this particular text undergrade gods like Shiva & Brahma?They can simply claim Shiva is just a Demigod & Vishnu is the supremehead god.. just becoz the writer is a devotee of vishnu,how can they say things like that??

They can! Because, as you said, the writer is a devotee of vishnu! They can say anything they want 'out of devotion'. Get that buddy!

Dinesh
Even Lord Shiva cannot be tied down with anything other than pure devotion.So, the statement that Lord Vishnu cannot tie Lord Shiva with anything but devotion is also true!!!

All Gods like Shiva,Vishnu,Yehovah,Allah,Jesus are supreme.Every devotee can call their Gods as their supreme God.We can try our best to reach our the God whom we consider as supreme.

Do not allow your mind to worry about these things.
In this topic, let us enjoy the divine play of Krishna.In another topic, we can enjoy the tiruvilayadal of Lord Shiva. :-)

Why don't you give the link instead? You should respect the copyright of others!

King Parikshit asked Sri Sukar to the incidence of Narada Muni’s curse on the two yakhas.

Sree Sukar said that though they were the attendants of Lord Rudra, they could not control their senses and possessed fake pride. They indulged themselves in alcohol known as Vaaruni. Accompanied by women they were roaming around in the garden attached to the mount Kailash with eyes rolling from intoxication. They were sporting like an male elephant with females elephants.

yadRucchayA ca devarshi: bhagavaan tatra kaurava
apaSyan nArado devau kshIbANau samabudhyata 10.10.5

(O Parikchit, by some chance, the great saint Devarshi Narada once appeared there. Seeing them intoxicated, eyes maddened by intoxication, he could understand their situation.)

tau dRushThvA madirA mattau SrI madAndhau surAtmajau
tayor anugraha arthAya SApam dAsyann idam jagau 10.10.7

(Narada Muni found the two boys naked; however they showed no shame at being spotted in such a situation. Seeing the two boys drunk and filled with pride of wealth, in order to bless them, he cursed them by saying:
asata: SrI mada andhasya dAridryam param anjanam
Atmaupamyena bhUtAni daridra: param Ikshate 10.10.13

(fools and rascals who are very much proud of wealth fail to see things as they are. Therefore, returning them to poverty is the proper medicine for their eyes so they may see things as they are. This will help them repent for their mistake.)

tad aham mattayor mAdhvyA vArunyA SrI madAndhayo:
tamo madam harishyAmi strainayor ajitAtmano: 10.10.19

(Therefore, since these two boys, drunk with the liquor named Varuni, and unable to control their senses, have been blinded by the pride of wealth and have become attached to women, I shall relieve them of their false prestige.)

yad imau loka pAlasya putrau bhUtvA tama: plutau
na vivAsasam AtmAnam vijAnIta: sudurmadau 10.10.20

(These two young men, Nalakubara and Manigriva, were fortunate to be born as sons of Kubera, but because of false prestige and madness after drinking liquor, they had fallen so much that they are naked but could not even realize that.)

ato arhata: sthAvaratAm syAtAm naivam yathA puna:
smriti: syAn mat prasAdena tatrApi mad anugrahAt 10.10.21

(Therefore, because they are living like trees (trees are naked but are not conscious), these two young men should receive the bodies of trees. This will be the proper punishment. Nonetheless, after they become trees and until they are released, by my mercy they will remember their past sinful activities.)

vAsudevasya sAnnidhyam labdhvA divya Sarata: Sate
vRutte svarlokatAm bhUyo labdha bhaktI bhavishyata: 10.10.22

(Moreover, after the expiry of one hundred years by the measurement of the devaas, they will be able to see the Lord, Vaasudeva, face to face, who will release them and thus revive their devotion to the Lord as well.)

rishe bhAgavata mukhyasya satyam kartum vaco hari:
jagAma Sanakai: tatra yatra AstAm yamalArjunau 10.10.24

(The Supreme Lord Sri Krishna (who was tied to the mortar), in order to fulfill the words of the greatest devotee, Narada, slowly went to that spot where the twin arjuna trees were standing, dragging the mortar. (This is yet another example of Krishna displaying his mercy and showing us that there is nothing He will not do for a true devotee)

iti antarena arjunayo: kRushNas tu yamayor yayau
Atma nirveSa mAtreNa tiryag gatam ulUkhalam 10.10.26

(Krishna entered between the two arjuna trees. He crossed but, the big mortar(ulUkhalam) to which He was bound turned crosswise and got stuck on teh other sdie!! Now, little poor kRUshNa is stuck there! IS HE? WHO CAN BLOCK AN AATMARAAMA? THEY PRETEND.)

bAlena niShkarShayata anvag ulUkhalam tad dAmodarena tarasA utkalitAnghri bandhau
niShpetatu: parama vikramita ativepa skandha pravAla viTapau kRuta canda Sabdau 10.10.27

(KRushna started pulling the mortar tied to his belly with all the forces that he could muster! (And What is that? The strength of one who carried the earth on his damshTra!). One pull! That Is it! The trunks and leaves trembled and the trees fell down with a big thud! Baby kRushNa uprooted the two trees!!)

tatra SriyA paramayA kakubha: sphurantau siddhAv upetya kujayor iva jAta vedA:
krishnam praNamya Sirasa akhila loka nAtham baddhAnjalI virajasou idam Ucatu: sma 10.10.28

(Two great celestial beings, who were as radiant as the Vedic fire itself, came out of the two trees. Their radiance illuminated all directions. With bowed heads and folded hands they offered obeisance to Krishna. They have been doing tapas to see the LORD. Narada’s blessing as well as the LORD’s darsanam cleansed them of the entire ego that they had because of rajo guna. With pure heart they spoke the following words.)

vAnI guna anukathane Sravanau kathAyAm hastau ca karmasu mana: tava pAdayor na:
smRutyAm Sira: tava nivAsa jagat praNAme dRushTi: satAm darSane astu bhavat tanUnAm 10.10.38

(Henceforward, may all our words describe Your actions. May our ears engage in listening to Your glories. May our hands, legs and other senses engage in doing Your work and may our minds always think of Your lotus feet. May our heads offer our obeisances to this world, which is your dwelling place. (Because everything is also you in different form) May our eyes only see the rishis who are no different from You. Oh! Vaasudeva, please bless us so that we will lead such a devoted life and will not roll back to our original nature.) Praying thus, doing a namaskaram they hurried up to their home without even releasing the baby from the ulUkhalam. They were in such a hurry to pray their respects Sri Narada who blessed them with this divinty. Plus, no one can untie the LORD from prema bandhanam (tie of divine devotion). )

Sri daamodaralaal kI jai… Later when Akroora takes kRushNa in the chariot to Madhura, gopIs cry out
Govinda daamodara maadhaveti - which Sri Leela Sukar cries out in each of his slokas in the Govinda daamodara stotram. Oh! Govinda, Oh! kRushNa, who was tied up in the stomach with a rope, oh! maadhava, how can you escape from us and run away? yaSOdamma, tie him up again……

vaktum samarthopi na vakti kascit
aho janaanaam vyasaabhimukhyam
jihwe pibaswa amrutam etadeva
govinda daamodara maadhava it (G.D.S.)

(The reason for all our sufferings is that we don't cry out 'govinda daamodara maadhava' even though we are capable of doing it! Oh! tongue, please drink this nectar govindaa... daamodara... maadhavaa sing and enjoy!)

attitude like this is the cause of the fights among hindu :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: anyways...continue ur way of devotion... 8-)

Dinesh
I totally accept your point that such attitudes leads to fights.It is not even among hindus but between different religions of India leading to communal riots,violence and lot of bloodshed.
People should learn to accept that different views exist which might not necessarily concur with theirs.
