Bhagavatam verse quiery

[Guest guest]

Jai Shri Krishna.

 

I have come across two verses in chapter 5 of canto 11 of the Srimad Bhagavata

purana, in these verse Narada, explians how Sriman NArayam is worshiped the

varius yugas, and i would like to know how these verses are construed and

Interpreted by in Sri vaishnava sampradaya.

 

Fristly we have Sloka 32 (chapter 5, canto 11)

 

krishna-varnam tvishakrishnam

sangopangastra-parshadam

yajnaih sankirtana-prayair

yajanti hi su-medhasah

 

TRANSLATION

 

In the age of Kali, intelligent persons perform congregational chanting to

worship the incarnation of Godhead who constantly sings the names of Krishna.

Although His complexion is not blackish, He is Krishna Himself. He is

accompanied by His associates, servants, weapons and confidential companions.

 

Secondly there are verses 38-40 in the same chapter

 

kritadishu praja rajan

kalav icchanti sambhavam

kalau khalu bhavishyanti

narayana-parayanah

kvacit kvacin maha-raja

dravideshu ca bhurisah

tamraparni nadi yatra

kritamala payasvini

kaveri ca maha-punya

pratici ca maha-nadi

ye pibanti jalam tasam

manuja manujesvara

prayo bhakta bhagavati

vasudeve 'malasayah

 

 

TRANSLATION

 

My dear King, the inhabitants of Satya-yuga and other ages eagerly desire to

take birth in this age of Kali, since in this age there will be many devotees of

the Supreme Lord, Narayana. These devotees will appear in various places but

will be especially numerous in South India. O master of men, in the age of Kali

those persons who drink the waters of the holy rivers of Dravida-desa, such as

the Tamraparni, Krtamala, Payasvini, the extremely pious Kaveri and the Pratici

Mahanadi, will almost all be purehearted devotees of the Supreme Personality of

Godhead, Vasudeva.

 

Who is being predicted in sloka 32???? Gaudiyas interpret this to mean Chaitanya

mahaprabhu, the swaminarayans see this as predicting Sahajanada swami

(Swaminarayan). What is the view of Sri vaishnava Purvacharyas in regards to

this verse???

 

In slokas 38-49 does the referrence to "the devottees in south india" refer to

The Alawars and Srimat Ramanuja?????
