premananda Posted May 17, 2001 Report Share Posted May 17, 2001 Sri Rupa Goswami´s Sri Upadesamrta with commentary by Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura. vaco vegam manasah krodha-vegam jivha-vegam udaropastha-vegam etan vegan yo visaheta dhirah sarvam apinam prthivim sa sisyat A wise and sober person who can endure the impulses of speech, the mind, anger, the tongue, the belly and the genitals is verily the most worthy to command the whole world. Rendering in Bengali verse- guru krpabale labhi sambandha-vijnana krti-jiva hayena bhajane yatnavan By the strenght of guru krpa one is endowed with subjective realization of sambandha jnana. Such a fortunate jiva shall then perform bhajan with great zeal and earnestness. sei jive sri-rupa goswami mahodaya "upadesamrta" dhanya karena niscaya For his benefit, Sri Rupa Goswami has composed this unequivocal and blessed "Upadesamrta", the ambrosial precepts. grhi grha tyagi bhede dviprakara jane upadesa-bheda vicaribe vijna-gane The wise will discern the appropriate lesson, having duly considered the two kinds of aspirants; householders and those have abandoned household life. grhi prati ei saba upadesa haya grha tyagi prati iha parakasthamaya All these teachings are cerainly meant for the householders, and the renounced will aslo find herein the highest transcendental enlightenment. vakya-vega, mano-vega, krodha-vega ara jivha-vega udara-vega, upastha-vega chara The impulses of speech, the mind, anger, the tongue, the belly and the genitals can be most disconcerting. ei chaya vega sahi ´krsna namasraya jagat sasite pare parajiya bhaye One can subdue these impulses by taking regue in the divine nama of Krsna, and one who does so conquers fear and is fit to rule the whole world. kevala saranagati krsna-bhakti-maya bhakti pratikula tyaga ta´ra anga haya Devotion to Krsna is embued with exclusive surrender, an aspect of which is the abandonment of those things (and persons) detrimental thereto. caya vega sahi ´yukta vairagya asraye name aparadhe-sunya haibe nirbhaye By resorting to yukta and vairagya one may endure the six impulses, and become fearless by cultivating the divine name avoiding with care the ten offenses. Sri Piyusa Varsini Vrtti Sri Gauracandraya namah - Obeisance to Sri Gauracandra. yat krpa sagarodbhutam upadesamrtam bhuvi sri rupena samanitam gaura-candram bhajami tam natva grantha-pranetaram tikakaram pranamya ca maya viracyate vrttih piyusa parivesini I worship Gauracandra, whose dear associate Sri Rupa has churned this nectar of instruction from the ocean of astonishment.
