Guest guest Posted March 27, 2001 Report Share Posted March 27, 2001 There are three Harivamsha verses quoted in Bhaagavatam 10th Canto regarding the identiy of the Lord's brahmajyoti as Brahman. Although none were provided with verse numbers, I actually found *all 3 verses* in my Nag edition of the Harivamsha, which I got this past February from India. Here they are, with the BBT translation: brahmatejomaya.m divya.m mahat yad dR^iShTavaan asi | aha.m sa bharatashreShTha mattejas tat sanaatanam || HV 2.114.9 || The divine expanse of Brahman effulgence you have seen is none other than Myself, O best of the Bhaaratas. It is My own eternal effulgence (shrii hariva.msha, viShNuparva 114.9). prakR^itiH saa mama paraa vyaktaavyaktaa sanaatanii | taa.m pravishya bhavantiiha muktaa yogaviduttamaaH || HV 2.114.10 || It comprises My eternal, spiritual energy, both manifest and unmanifest. The foremost yoga experts of this world enter within it and become liberated (shrii hariva.msha, viShNuparva 114.10). saa saa.nkhyaanaa.m gatiH paartha yoginaa.m cha tapasvinaam | tat pada.m parama.m brahma sarva.m vibhajate jagat || HV 2.114.11 || maameva tad ghana.m tejo j~naatum arhasi bhaarata || HV 2.114.12 || It is the supreme goal of the followers of Saa.nkhya, O Paartha, as well as that of the yogiis and ascetics. It is the Supreme Absolute Truth, manifesting the varieties of the entire created cosmos. You should understand this brahma-jyoti, O Bhaarata, to be My concentrated personal effulgence (shrii hariva.msha, viShNuparva 114.11-12).
