भावानुवाद- Translation

After bowing down to Hari Shree KRUSHNA I tell decisively established doctrines Bhaktimarg. Divine service of Shree KRUSHNA should always be practiced.The one done mentally is considered the best. (1)

To engross one's mind totally in Shree KRUSHNA is called devotion. It is achieved by devotion of body and financial resources in his service. This results in liberation from wordly distresses and realisation of Brahma, The Supreme Soul, GOD KRUSHNA. (2)

The most supreme being is but only Shree KRUSHNA. While the abode of the Supreme spirit is a combination of existence, consciousness and bliss, even that is in two forms, one is all around The visible universe and the other quite distinct from that. (3)

In the case of the first form, there are many different views. Some assert it to be illusion. Some believe it to be a result of attributes. Some again assert it to be an act of GOD. And some confirm it to be self made eternal and so on in many other ways. (4)

In the opinion of Vedas, the abode of the supreme being itself takes the form of the universe and its two forms as well should be viewed as in the case of (RIVER) Ganga. She is in the form of water the physical form. She also gives worldly pleasures and liberation to those who knowing her greatness worship her metaphysical or spiritural form as per established rules. The abode of Supreme spirit ( aarcsrm) should also be undersood similarly. ( 5- 6)

There in the River Ganga itself, Ganga in the form of Devi is only some times seen by those to whom the flowing waters and the Devi are identical. She, Ganga as Devi is not visible to all (but) through it there is her waters, which is confirmed by laying down awards (of Ganga worship) in scriptures and is also experienced by many, who distinguish it as higher than her waters. (7 - 8)

As in the case with Waters of Ganga so is all universe. AS is the capacity to sanctify in Ganga so is the abode of the Supreme Spirit. As is the deity form Of Godess Ganga, so is SHREE KRUSHNA. There also it is further being told. (9)

The universe (world) is said to be three fold. Hence Gods BRAHMA, VISHNU AND SHIVA are known as deities (FOR each function). Similarly HARI SHREE KRUSHNA is beleived to be in the abode of Supreme Spirit. (arenas!). (10)

In this world, fulfiment of desire is through Brahma etc., and in no other way. But for Salvation of One's own soul, rests only in KRUSHNA, The Supreme Joy. Therefore based on the principle that everything is supreme spirit, the inner thinking should be inclined towards Shree KRUSHNA. In the case of soul (WRTT) which is a form of the Supreme spirit (aio) inclinations of mind (intellect) behave equally as small holes in the sky (showing openings which do not exist). (11.12)

Just as a devotee standing on the bank of Ganga sees there the Ganga Devi, similarly on disapparance of obstructions and on realising the truth or on perceiving real truth of the whole world being a part of Supreme Spirit the awakened intellactual sees in himself KRUSHNA, the most supreme spirit prom). (13 1/2)

Just as a devotee of Ganga staying far away from Ganga is miserable on account of absence of badly needed water etc., so also is the case of devotee of KRUSHNA engrossed in worldly affairs. (14 1/2)

Therefore one who is in the path of devotion of SHREE KRUSHNA and who is completely free from worldly fetters should meditate only about KRUSHNA, resting in the ocean of self - joy or adobe of supreme Spirit (15 1/2)

If one, who is full of worldly desires as his aim, worships KRUSHNA, he distressed. Even when so distressed, if he worships KRUSHNA, he gets bereft of worldly constraints, (16 1/2)

In the absence of realistion of one's own and KRUSHNA's real form, a devotee in the path of Grace should stay in a place where worshipping and celebrations for Shree KRUSHNA prevail. A devotee in the doctrine of established rules, should stay near Ganga and be engrossed in reading BHAGAVATA. GOD's GRACE in the only controlling force in the path of Grace. This is the real Position. (18)

For both categories and, the above referred mental devotion will bear fruits successively. The path of Devotion is Superior to that of Knowledge and hence it is so narrated. (19)

In the absence of devotion, however, as one even on the banks of Ganga with his own sinful deeds, becomes otherwise Perverted and degenerates from his position so also in the case of a devotee of KRUSHNA. (20)

Thus I have laid down, though secret, all the doctrines of devotion of the Pustimarg. A person who thoroughly understands them will be free from all doubts. (21)
