Lord
Rsabhadeva's Activities
(8) With a fierce
forest fire blazing all around that was caused by the
friction of bamboo's tossed by the force of the wind, was
His body then in that forest burned to ashes.
(11) Those
who are certain in deviating from the eternal principles
of the religion with a practice based on their own
speculations, feel themselves encouraged by blinded
predecessors and are sure to fall down in the darkness of
ignorance being blinded themselves
[compare
B.G.
16-16,
16-23
].

The
Activities of King Bharata
(7) Thus in the purest
of service was he of the purest of goodness unto the
Supersoul within the heart of the body, unto the
impersonal spirit of Brahman and unto Bhagavân, the
Supreme Lord,Vâsudeva, the greatest of the Person
whose form is recognized by the Srîvatsa mark on
the chest, the Kaustubha gem, the flowergarland, the
disc, the conchshell, the club and other symbols. On the
highest level known by His shining personal form is He,
once having appeared as an indelible image in the heart
of the devotee, of the force of increasing the devotion
day after day.

The
Rebirth of King Bharata
(7) Seeing that deer
calf then, separated from its kind, helplessly floating
away in the waves, took the wise king Bharata, like a
friend thinking it an orphan, to his âs'rama.
(14) In worship, at
times he would get up although he was not finished, just
to look after the deer calf and then did the master of
the domain derive great satisfaction from wishing it all
his blessings saying: 'O my dear calf let there be unto
you all the best'.
(27) At that time
giving up this world he indeed saw at his side lamenting
like his own son the deer his mind was absorbed in; with
his body dying with the deer, he thereafter got the body
of a deer, but unlike with other births, was the
remembrance of what had happened before at his death not
destroyed.

The
Supreme Character of Jada Bharata
(18) Infuriated in
utter intolerance she displayed her features of raised
eyebrows, crooked teeth, bloodshot eyes, an agitated
fearful face as if she wanted to destroy the whole
universe and a frightening laugh. Coming forth from the
altar, of the great anger released, separated she with
the same blade the heads from of all the sinful offenders
and drank she together with her associates, the blood
oozing from the necks as a very hot intoxicating
beverage. Overwhelmed by all the intoxicating drinking
did she with her following, loudly singing and dancing,
then play ball using the heads for a sport.

Bharata meets Mahârâja
Rahûgana
(2) When doing this was
the twiceborn son, constantly looking three feet ahead
[not to step on ants], all the time out of pace
with the others and was thus the palanquin shaking.
Rahûgana, realizing this then said to the men
carrying: 'Oh carriers, please walk in pace! For what
reason is this palanquin carried so uneven?'
