Karabhajana Instructs
Narada said, “O Vasudeva! King Nimi having heard Bhagavata Dharma from the nine Yogis, worshipped the sages with the priests and others who had assembled at the sacrifice.
“The sages then disappeared while they were all looking on. The king followed their instructions and attained the highest goal or supreme bliss.
“If you will also sincerely follow the above Bhagavata Dharma with faith and lead your life free from all attachment you will also attain the highest goal.
“Both of you, Vasudeva and Devaki have indeed attained everlasting fame, as Lord Hari was born as your son.
“Having cherished the love of a son towards Sri Krishna, you have purified yourselves by means of sight, embraces,conversations,sleeping together,sitting and feeding and other services.
“When Sisupala, Poundraka, Salva and other kings attain union with Lord Krishna by thinking Him only with feelings of hatred while lying down, sitting up, eating or in any other state, what to speak of them who are always devoted unto Him?
“Do not consider Krishna, the Antaryamin or the Inner Ruler, the Supreme Lord of six sorts of wealth, who is subject to no decay, whose supreme divine nature is hidden behind the mortal form He has assumed at His will, the Lord of the universe, as your son.
“He has incarnated on this earth to destroy the demoniac kings who were a burden on this earth and to protect the righteous. He is playing like a mortal hiding his supreme powers. His fame for the liberation of men, is spreading all over.”
“He who reads the above instructions of the nine sages as described by Narada to Vasudeva with sincerity and devotion, he who commits the sacred story to memory will shake off his sin here, will have his mind purified and attain everlasting bliss. He will be released from the illusion of the world and attain to final liberation. He shall attain the state of Brahman.”
