Chapter 1:
Dharma and Adharma: the Life of Ajâmîla
(22) Having resorted to reprehensible activities
as robbery, fraud and
theft, he maintained
his family
in a most sinful way and gave others a lot of trouble.
Chapter 2: Ajâmila
Delivered
by
the
Vishnudûtas:
the motivation for the Holy Name
(36-37) Abandoning this
being bound in karmic actions out of ignorance and lust, I as a
self-realized, most kind, merciful and peaceful friend of all living
entities,
will free my soul from the encasement of being caught in
mâyâ in the form of a woman, a woman who played with me,
fallen as I was, like with a pet animal.
Chapter 3:
Yamarâja Instructs His Messengers
(29) They
who run from the
truth and fail in their duties
unto Lord Vishnu,
whose tongues never express the names and qualities of the Supreme
Lord,
who do not carry Him in their heart or remember His lotus feet
and not even once bowed their heads to Krishna [in a
temple e.g., see B.G.
4:
4-6], bring them all
before me.
Chapter 4:
The Hamsa-guhya Prayers Offered to the Lord by Prajâpati Daksha
(6) Seeing how all the trees were burned by the blazing fire o son of
Kuru, the king of the forest,
the great [moon god] Soma, spoke as follows in order to pacify their
anger.
(35-39) S'rî S'uka
said: 'Thus being praised with the prayers offered, the Supreme Lord,
the caretaker of the devotees, appeared there in Aghamarshana o best of
the Kurus. With His feet on Garuda's shoulders He with His long and
mighty eight arms, held up the disc, the conch shell, the sword, the
shield, the arrow, the bow, the rope and the club. His intense blackish
blue form was clad in yellow garments, His face and glance were very
cheerful and His body was adorned with a flower garland reaching to His
feet. Decorated with the shining Kaustubha jewel, the S'rîvatsa
mark, a large full circle helmet, glittering shark earrings, a belt,
finger rings, bracelets around His wrists and upper arms and with His
ankle bells, His appearance captivated the three worlds. The Lord, the
brilliance in person of the three worlds, was surrounded by eternal
associates like Nârada, Nanda and the leaders of the demigods and
was glorified with hymns by the perfected ones and the inhabitants and
singers of heaven.
Chapter 5:
Nârada Muni Cursed by Prajâpati Daksha
(19) The so very sharp,
revolving wheel of Time governs all the world according to its own rule
and measure; of what use is it to endeavor in
desire for results
in this world when one doesn't know about this [this order
of
time]?
Chapter 6:
The Progeny of the Daughters of Daksha
(24-26) Again
pacifying
him Soma in respect of
the division of time managed to stop the decay [reducing it to the dark
fortnight].
Now please take notice of all the names of the wives of
Kas'yapa, the mothers from whom all the living beings of this
entire universe were born: Aditi, Diti, Danu,
Kâshthhâ, Arishthâ, Surasâ, Ilâ, Muni,
Krodhavas'â, Tâmrâ, Surabhi, Saramâ and Timi.
From Timi the aquatics appeared and the animals of prey were the
children of Saramâ.
