yad vā ayaṁ mantra-kṛd vo bhagavān akhileśvaraḥ
Содержание книги
- O great devotees! The intelligent Parīkṣit, full of faith in hearing Kṛṣṇa’s activities, asked this question to Śukadeva which you have asked me.
- Sūta said: Being thus requested by the King to speak about the qualities of the Lord, Śukadeva, remembering the Lord of the senses, prepared to answer.
- I offer continual respects to the Lord with all auspicious qualities, whose glorification, remembrance, deity form, topics and worship immediately destroy the impurities of man.
- O King! Brahmā, filled with the Vedas, taught this knowledge, which the Lord had directly spoke to him, to Nārada who asked about it.
- Nārada said: O lord of lords! O creator of the living beings! O first born! You know that knowledge which reveals the truth about the ātmā and Paramātmā.
- Situated in your own energy like a spider creating his web, without fatigue, you protect the living beings within yourself, without being destroyed.
- Though you are like this, you performed great austerities. By this you bewilder us. You produce a doubt that there is some other Lord.
- O son! What you say about me is not untrue, because people, not knowing the difference between me and the Lord say that I have that power.
- I meditate on the Supreme Lord Vāsudeva, by whose insurmountable māyā people call me the guru of the universe.
- I am created by him. Inspired by the Lord’s glance, I create what is already created by the Lord -- the witness, the soul situated in all beings.
- Second Description of the Universal Form: Vibhūtis of the Lord
- From his body hairs arose all trees by which sacrifice is performed. From his hair and beard arose clouds and from his nails arose lightning, minerals and metals.
- brahma-nārada-saṁvādaḥ
- Parīkṣit’s Questions
- Please describe the various yugas, their durations, their dharmas, and the astonishing activities of the yugāvatāras of the Lord.
- O Brahmā! All auspiciousness to you! Please ask your desired benediction from me, who can award all benedictions. Endeavors in the process of bhakti end in seeing me.
- Brahmā said: O Supreme Lord! You, the controller of all beings, are situated in their intelligence. You know what all beings desire to do by unimpaired intelligence.
- Follow my instructions in detail, with extreme concentration. You will not be bewildered at any time during your lifetime and its subdivisions.
- Ten Characteristics of a Purāṇa
- a-kathā refers to descriptions of the Lord’s avatāras and their devotees, filled with various stories.
- When the pure puruṣa, separating himself from the universe, remained outside, desiring a place to lie down in the universe, he created the pure waters of the Garbhodaka.
- The wise do not accept these two forms of the Lord described by me since they are composed of matter.
- The Lord has been described in many scriptures as the creator of the universe. Some pure devotees however do not see him only as the creator of the universe.
- Sūta said: I will explain to you what the great sage Śukadeva spoke in response to Parīkṣit when asked by Parīkṣit. Please listen.

The Supreme Lord who acted as your advisor gave up the house of Duryodhana and entered the house of Vidura, accepting it as his own.
Vidura should not have give up his house which was superior to all the pilgrimage places to wtich he went. However he gave it up because of the pain inflicted by his brother, Dhṛtarāṣṭra. Kṛṣṇa, acting as the advisor of you the Pāṇḍavas, thinking of them all the time, rejected Duryodhana’s house, and entered Vidura’s house, even though not invited, since he accepted it as his own house (ātmasāt).

rājovāca
kutra kṣattur bhagavatā maitreyeṇāsa saṅgamaḥ
kadā vā saha-saṁvāda etad varṇaya naḥ prabho
The King said: O master! Where did Vidura meet the powerful Maitreya? When did they speak with each other? Please describe this to me.
Āsa stands for babhūva (took place).
|| 3.1.4 ||
na hy alpārthodayas tasya vidurasyāmalātmanaḥ
tasmin varīyasi praśnaḥ sādhu-vādopabṛṁhitaḥ
The questions which the pure soul Vidura asked to the excellent Maitreya were not insignificant, and were nourished by the pleasure of the devotees.
Varīyasi means best. Because the questions of Vidura to Maitreya were not insignificant, they are nourished by the pleasure of the devotees (sādhu-vāda), or they were praised by the statements of Maitreya.

sūta uvāca
sa evam ṛṣi-varyo ’yaṁ pṛṣṭo rājñā parīkṣitā
praty āha taṁ subahu-vit prītātmā śrūyatām iti
Sūta said: Omniscient Śukadeva, the best of sages, on being requested by King Parīkṣit, with great affection then said him, “Please listen.”
