Kimpurusha in Srimad Bhagavattam

[Guest guest]

!! Sri Rama Jayam !!

Srimad Bhagavattam - Canto 5 - Chapter 15 :

Srî S'uka said: 'In the land of Kimpurusha is the Supreme Lord, the Original

Personality, the elder brother of Lakshmana, Râmacandra, who is so pleasing to

Sîtâ; he who with the people of Kimpurusha in the devotion of worship is always

engaged in service at His feet is the supreme and greatest devotee Hanumân.

With Ârshthishena [the leader of Kimpurusha] attentively listening to the glory

of his most auspicious master and Lordship chanted by a company of Gandharva's,

does he [Hanumân] himself chant this: 'O my Lord, my obeisances unto You as the

Sweet Lord celebrated in the scriptures, all my respects are for You who

possesses all the good qualities found with the advanced, my reverence unto You

as the One who has His senses under control, He who is always remembered and

worshiped by the people of all places, my salutations unto You as the touchstone

of quality for each seeker of truth, I bow for You, the great personality and

godhead of the brahmins; unto the King of Kings my homage. Let me worship Him,

that transcendentally pure supreme truth, who is experienced as the one body of

spiritual potency by which the influence of the modes of nature is vanquished;

being not visible but by transcendence and undisturbed of nature, can He who is

verily free from ego beyond name and form, by pure [natural, Krishna-]

consciousness be achieved. Incarnated as a human being was He for sure not only

there as the Almighty One to kill the demon Râvana, but also for teaching the

mortals of this material world, for what reason otherwise would there be, to the

enjoyment of Him as the spiritual soul Himself, all the misery of Sîtâ of being

separated from Him, the Controller? In truth is He, the Supreme Soul and best

friend of the selfrealized, never attached to whatever in the three worlds; He

is the Supreme Lord, Vâsudeva who in fact never suffered from being separated

from His wife Sîtâ - nor would ever Lakshmana, who certainly also is of that

capacity to forsake. Nor of one's birth is one of the Greatest, nor of one's

fortune, nor of one eloquence, nor of one's wit, nor of one's physique; although

we are alas but inhabitants of the forest, did Lakshmana's elder brother accept

us in friendship and was the cause of pleasure in Him by all those other ways

rejected. Therefore, enlightened or not, beast or human being, anyone of soul

should be of worship unto Râma, the foremost one so easy to please, the Lord who

appeared as a human being and who thus brought the inhabitants of Kosala

[Ayodhyâ], northern India, back to Godhead.'
