Srimad Bhagvata Mahapurana: Book 10: Chapter 13: Verses 1-11
Brahma is seized with and ultimately rid of infatuation
Sri Suka began again : A good enquiry has been made by you, 0 highly blessed one, since though listening to the narrative of the Lord again and again, you lend it a new charm (every time by your pertinent and intelligent queries), O jewel among the devotees of God! It is something natural with the righteous-who choose (only) what is best-that, like the topic of a (young) woman to an assembly of gallants, the story of Sri Krsna (the immortal Lord) appears quite new to them every moment even though their speech, ears and mind (too) are devoted to Him alone. Listen, 0 king, with (rapt) attention. I (proceed to) tell you even that which is most secret; for to a loving pupil preceptors impart even hidden things. Having rescued in the aforesaid manner His companions (the keepers of calves) from death in the shape of Aghasura's mouth and brought them to the sandy river-bank, the Lord spoke as follows:- "Oh! so very delightful, 0 friends, is this bank consisting of soft and stainless sand, full of facilities for our play and surrounded by trees charming with the echo of the humming of bees and warbling of birds drawn by the fragrance of budding lotuses (which makes the lake itself containing lotus-beds appear full-blown). Let us have our (midday) meal here; the day is (already) advanced and we are oppressed with hunger. Let the calves drink water and leisurely graze the grass near at hand. |
