Bhagavac Chakti Karyesu lyrics

bhagavac-chakti-kāryeṣu trividheṣu sva-śaktimān vilasan vartate kṛṣṇaś cij-jīva-māyikeṣu ca

bhagavac-chakti-karyesu trividhesu sva-saktiman vilasan vartate krsnas cij-jiva-mayikesu ca

भगवच्छक्तिकार्येषु त्रिविधेषु स्वशक्तिमान विलसन वर्तते कृष्णश चिज्जीवमायिकेषु च

The two philosophies, advaita-vada, or monism, from Vedanta and materialism from Sarikhya, have been current from time immemorial. Monism has been further divided into two, namely vivarta-vdda and Mayavada. Among all these philosophers, some say the material world is a transformation of Brahman, some say it is false, and some have established the material world as beginningless. Swanlike persons, however, say that although Lord Krsna is separate from all activities and their cause, by His incon­ceivable potency and through His three principle energies the Lord is nevertheless present and involved in the activities of Vaikuntha, the living entities, and the material world.

cit-kāryeṣu svayaṁ kṛṣṇo jīve tu paramātmakaḥ jaḍe yajñeśvaraḥ pūjyaḥ sarva-karma-phala-pradaḥ

cit-karyesu svayam krsno jive tu paramatmakah jade yajnesvarah pujyah sarva-karma-phala-pradah

चित्कार्येषु स्वयं कृष्णो जीवे तु परमात्मकः जडे यज्ञेश्वरः पूज्यः सर्वकर्मफलप्रदः

Sri Krsna is personally present in spiritual activities. He is present as Supersoul in the living entities, and He is worshiped as Ya­jnesvara in the material world. He alone awards the results of all activities.

sarvāṁśī sarva-rūpī ca sarvāvatāra-bījakaḥ kṛṣṇas tu bhagavān sākṣān na tasmāt para eva hi

sarvamsi sarva-rupi ca sarvavatara-bijakah krsnas tu bhagavan saksan na tasmat para eva hi

सर्वांशी सर्वरूपी च सर्वावतारबीजकः कृष्णस तु भगवान साक्षान न तस्मात पर एव हि

All the existing personal expansions and all the created sepa. rated expansions, the living entities, are products of Krsna's energy, therefore Lord Sri Krsna is the origin of all expansions. Nothing can manifest outside of His energy, therefore He is the source of all forms. All incarnations of the Lord emanate from Him, therefore He is the source of all incarnations. Lord Sri Krsna is the Supreme Lord. There is no truth superior to Him.

acintya-śakti-sampannaḥ sa kṛṣṇaḥ karuṇā-mayaḥ māyā-baddhaysa jīvasya kṣemāya yatnavān sadā

acintya-sakti-sampannah sa krsnah karuna-mayah maya-baddhaysa jivasya ksemaya yatnavan sada

अचिन्त्यशक्तिसम्पन्नः स कृष्णः करुणामयः मायाबद्धय्स जीवस्य क्षेमाय यत्नवान सदा

That Krsna is inconceivably powerful and merciful. He is ar­dently engaged in the welfare of the living entities who have been conditioned by Maya due to misuse of their independence.

yad-yad-bhāva-gato jīvas tat-tad-bhāva-gato hariḥ avatīrṇaḥ sva-śaktyā sa krīḍatīva janaiḥ saha

yad-yad-bhava-gato jivas tat-tad-bhava-gato harih avatirnah sva-saktya sa kridativa janaih saha

यद्यद्भावगतो जीवस तत्तद्भावगतो हरिः अवतीर्णः स्वशक्त्या स क्रीडतीव जनैः सह

When the conditioned souls receive various forms according to their nature, the Supreme Lord Krsna, by His inconceivable po­tency, agrees to accompany them by incarnating and enjoying pastimes with them.

matsyeṣu matsya-bhāvo hi kacchape kūrma-rūpakaḥ meru-daṇḍa-yute jīve varāha-bhāvavān hariḥ

matsyesu matsya-bhavo hi kacchape kurma-rupakah meru-danda-yute jive varaha-bhavavan harih

मत्स्येषु मत्स्यभावो हि कच्छपे कूर्मरूपकः मेरुदण्डयुते जीवे वराहभाववान हरिः

When the living entities accept the position of fish, the Lord accepts His fish incarnation, Matsya. Matsya is without danda. When the living entities gradually accept the position of vajra-danda, then the Lord incarnates as Kurma. When vajra-danda gradually becomes meru-danda, the Lord incarnates as Varaha.

nṛsiṁho madhya-bhāvo hi vāmanaḥ kṣudra-mānave bhārgavo'sabhya-vargeṣu sabhye dāśarathis tathā

nrsimho madhya-bhavo hi vamanah ksudra-manave bhargavo'sabhya-vargesu sabhye dasarathis tatha

नृसिंहो मध्यभावो हि वामनः क्षुद्रमानवे भार्गवोऽसभ्यवर्गेषु सभ्ये दाशरथिस तथा

When the living entities accept the combined position of incarnation of human and animal, the Lord accepts His incarnation of Nrsimha. When the living entities are short, He appears as Vamana. When the living entities are uncivilized, He comes as Parasurama. When they are civilized, He appears as Ramacandra.

sarva-vijñāna-sampanne kṛṣṇas tu bhagavān svayam tarka-niṣṭha-nare buddho nāstike kalkir eva ca

sarva-vijnana-sampanne krsnas tu bhagavan svayam tarka-nistha-nare buddho nastike kalkir eva ca

सर्वविज्ञानसम्पन्ने कृष्णस तु भगवान स्वयम तर्कनिष्ठनरे बुद्धो नास्तिके कल्किर एव च

When the living entities possess the wealth of practical knowl­edge, then Lord Krsna Himself appears. When the living entities develop the tendency for argument, the Lord appears as Buddha. And when they are atheistic, the Lord comes as Kalki. These are well-known facts.

avatārā harer bhāvāḥ kramordhva-gatimad dhṛdi na teṣāṁ janma-karmādau prapañco vartate kvacit

avatara harer bhavah kramordhva-gatimad dhrdi na tesam janma-karmadau prapanco vartate kvacit

अवतारा हरेर भावाः क्रमोर्ध्वगतिमद धृदि न तेषां जन्मकर्मादौ प्रपञ्चो वर्तते क्वचित

In the course of the gradual development of the living entities' hearts, the Lord incarnates in a form material contamination. 10 , 11) After consideration, the sages have divided the history of the living entities' advancement into ten periods of time. Each period has different symptoms, with each successive mood superior to the previous. Each progressive mood is described as an incarnation.

केनचिद भज्यते कालश चतुर्विंशतिधा विदा अष्टादशविभागे वा चावतारविभागशः

Some learned scholars have divided this period of time into twenty-four and ascertained twenty-four incarnations. Yet there are others who have divided it into eighteen with the correspond­ing number of incarnations.

māyayā ramaṇaṁ tucchaṁ kṛṣṇasya cit-svarūpiṇaḥ jīvasya tattva-vijñāne ramaṇaṁ tasya sammatam

mayaya ramanam tuccham krsnasya cit-svarupinah jivasya tattva-vijnane ramanam tasya sammatam

मायया रमणं तुच्छं कृष्णस्य चित्स्वरूपिणः जीवस्य तत्त्वविज्ञाने रमणं तस्य सम्मतम

Some people say that the Supreme Lord is omnipotent, therefore He may sometimes incarnate by His inconceivable energy in a material body, and all incarnations can therefore be accepted simply as historical incidents. According to the opinion of swanlike Vaisnavas, this statement is extremely unreasonable because it is impossible for Lord Krsna to accept a material body and perform material activities. Such action would be insignificant and abomi­nable for Him. But His appearance and pastimes in the hearts of the realized living entities' are accepted by both the sadhus and Krsna. 14-15) As the sun cannot enjoy its shadow, Krsna cannot enjoy maya. What to speak of Krsna enjoying maya. He is not even seen by persons who are under the shelter of maya. Yet simply by the mercy of Krsna one can easily see Him through samadhi.

śrī-kṛṣṇa-caritaṁ sākṣāt samādhi-darśitaṁ kila na tatra kalpanā mithyā netihāso jaḍāśritaḥ

sri-krsna-caritam saksat samadhi-darsitam kila na tatra kalpana mithya netihaso jadasritah

श्रीकृष्णचरितं साक्षात समाधिदर्शितं किल न तत्र कल्पना मिथ्या नेतिहासो जडाश्रितः

The pure activities of Krsna have been perceived through the samadhi of swanlike persons like Vyasadeva. Krsna's activities are not exactly historical like those of people under the clutches of maya, because Krsna's activities are not limited to any time or place. Nor are His activities comparable with the activities of ordinary people.

vayaṁ tu caritaṁ tasya varṇayāmo samāsataḥ tattvataḥ kṛpayā kṛṣṇa-caitanyasya mahātmanaḥ

vayam tu caritam tasya varnayamo samasatah tattvatah krpaya krsna-caitanyasya mahatmanah

वयं तु चरितं तस्य वर्णयामो समासतः तत्त्वतः कृपया कृष्णचैतन्यस्य महात्मनः

After careful consideration and by the mercy of Sri Krsna Caitanya we will herein briefly describe the activities of Krsna.

sarveṣām avatārāṇām artho bodhyo yathā mayā kevalaṁ kṛṣṇa-tattvasya cārtho vijñāpito'dhunā

sarvesam avataranam artho bodhyo yatha maya kevalam krsna-tattvasya cartho vijnapito'dhuna

सर्वेषाम अवताराणाम अर्थो बोध्यो यथा मया केवलं कृष्णतत्त्वस्य चार्थो विज्ञापितोऽधुना

The explanation on the science of Krsna that is presented in this book may be applied to His various incarnations. The conclu­sion is that Krsna is the root cause and seed of all incarnations. He is eternally enjoying pastimes with the living entities as the Super-soul. The Supersoul reciprocates according to the mood and realization a living entity acquires while traveling on the path of fruitive activities. But Krsna does not personally appear until spiri­tual attachment arises in the hearts of the living entities. Therefore all other incarnations appear from the Supersoul, of whom Krsna is the original seed.

vaiṣṇavāḥ sāra-sampannās tyaktvā vākyam alaṁ mama gṛhṇantu sāra-sampattiṁ śrī-kṛṣṇa-caritaṁ mudā

vaisnavah sara-sampannas tyaktva vakyam alam mama grhnantu sara-sampattim sri-krsna-caritam muda

वैष्णवाः सारसम्पन्नास त्यक्त्वा वाक्यम अलं मम गृह्णन्तु सारसम्पत्तिं श्रीकृष्णचरितं मुदा

We appeal to the swanlike Vaisnavas to ignore the imperfections of these verses and happily relish Krsna's activities, which are the essence and wealth of all living entities.

vayaṁ tu bahu-yatnena na śaktā deśa-kālataḥ samuddhartuṁ manīṣāṁ naḥ prapañca-pīḍitā yataḥ

vayam tu bahu-yatnena na sakta desa-kalatah samuddhartum manisam nah prapanca-pidita yatah

वयं तु बहुयत्नेन न शक्ता देशकालतः समुद्धर्तुं मनीषां नः प्रपञ्चपीडिता यतः

Regarding these descriptions of Krsna's activities, despite much effort we were unable to restrain our intelligence from considerations of time and space, because we are not free from the pangs of material life.

tathāpi gauracandrasya kṛpā-vāri-niṣevaṇāt sarveṣāṁ hṛdaye kṛṣṇa-rasābhāvo nivartatām

tathapi gauracandrasya krpa-vari-nisevanat sarvesam hrdaye krsna-rasabhavo nivartatam

तथापि गौरचन्द्रस्य कृपावारिनिषेवणात सर्वेषां हृदये कृष्णरसाभावो निवर्तताम

Still, after drinking the shower of mercy from Sri Gauracandra the son of Saci and our only guide, let whatever little we have described herein enter the hearts of all living entities to fill the absence of krsna-rasa; that is, let everyone relish the transcenden­tal mellows in relationship with Krsna.
