[Guest guest]

>From Caitanya Bhagavat Madhy Lila Chapter 3

 

45. "If he touches my servant, I will cut My own son

into pieces. I do not speak a lie. O Muräri Gupta, please listen

with all your heart.

46. "When I lifted up the earth, her womb touched

Me.

47. "In this way a powerful son named Naraka was

born. I taught My son everything about religion.

48. "My son became a great king. He protected the

demigods, brähmaëas, gurus, and devotees.

49. "Still, because of past bad karma he fell into

bad association. He associated with King Bäna. Then he took

pleasure in tormenting the devotees.

50. "I will not tolerate an attack on My servants. To

protect My servants, I cut My son into pieces..

51. "Birth after birth you have served Me. Therefore

I have told all this to you."

Translated by Kusakratha Prabhu

 

 

In this incarnation, as in other incarnations, I will annihilate the

miscreants for the protection and pleasure of My devotees. I cannot tolerate

My devotees being threatened and tortured. I will even kill My own son to

protect My beloved devotees. This is not a lie Murari!

"Listen attentively. In My boar incarnation, when I lifted the earth,

Mother Earth became impregnated by My touch. She gave birth to My son,

named Naraka, who was very strong and powerful. I gave My son all religious

instructions. He became a very powerful king and dutifully protected the

demigods, brahmanas, spiritual master and the devotees. However, the hand

of destiny changed everything. Due to the influence and bad association of

King Venu, he became a criminal and was cruel to the devotees. Any

aggression or violence towards My devotees is totally intolerable to Me, so

I killed My son to protect My devotees. I am revealing all these

confidential matters to you because you have been serving Me for many

births." Murari Gupta was overwhelmed by the Lord's presence and narration,

and he wept with joy.
