rupam sa jagrhe matsyam

caksusodadhi-samplave

navy aropya mahi-mayyam

apad vaivasvatam manum

 

TRANSLATION

 

When there was a complete inundation after the period of the Caksusa

Manu and the whole world was deep within water,the Lord accepted the form of

a fish and protected Vaivasvata Manu,keeping him up on a boat.

 

PURPORT

 

According to Sripada Sridhara Svami,the original commentator on the

Bhagavatam,there is not always a devastation after the change of every

Manu.And yet this inundation after the period of Caksusa Manu took place in

order to show some wonders to Satyavrata.But Sri Jiva Gosvami has given

definite proofs From authoritativescriptures(like

Visnudharmottara,Markandeya Purana,Harivamsa,etc.)that there is always a

devastation after the end of each and every Manu.Srila Visvanatha Cakravarti

has also supported Srila Jiva Gosvami,and he (Sri Cakravarti)has also quoted

from Bhagavatamrta about this inundation after each Manu.Apart from this,the

Lord,in order to show special favour to Satyavrta,a devotee of the Lord,in

this particular period,incarnated Himself.

 

All glories to HDGSP.All glories to Sri Guru and Gauranga.
