Thank you Sai Desha Jinni Nila Kariya Sangram Utkalera Raja The king of Utkal Was named Purushottam Dev Sai Desha Jinni Nila Kariya Sangram So Jinni Nila Kariya Sangram Sangram is a fight between the two Between that country and this country Country of Vidyanagar Where the King of Vidyanagar was there The king of Vidyanagar was defeated Sai Raja Jinni Nila Tandra Simhasana Manikya Simhasana Nama Anekharatan Sai Raja That Raja was King Purushottam Dev And he would later sire the great king Pratap Rudra Nila Tandra Simhasana So He took the Simhasana Of the king of Vidyanagar Manikya Simhasana Manikya Simhasana Nama Anekharatan So it was known as Manikya Simhasana The Jewel Throne Anekharatan It had many many jewels on it So the point is that normally when a One king would conquer another king The victorious king would naturally want some Wealth As a As the fruit of the conquest And normally the most opulent Most valuable things from the kingdom would be taken by the victorious king So Manikya Simhasana that was there He took that And then Purushottam Des Dev Sai Bada Bhakta Arya Gopala Charane Mange Chala Mora Raja And And this Purushottam Dev was Sai Bada Bhakta Arya He is a great devotee and he is Arya Arya here refers to a spiritually cultured person And When he saw the beautiful deity of Gopala Purushottam Dev was The king of the Orissa area So he requested Gopala Gopala Charane Mange Chala Mora Raja Charane Mange He offered the basins to Gopala and he requested him Chala Mora Raja please come with me to my kingdom I would like to serve you Please come to my kingdom Tanra Bhakti Vashe Gopala Tanre Agya Dilla Gopala Laiya Sai Katake Aila Tanra Bhakti Vashe Because of the Bhakti of that king Gopala Tanre Agya Dilla Gopala gave the permission And Gopala Laiya Sai Katake Aila So It's Interesting how Krishna Das Parailo Swami describes this narrative He does not say that Pratap Rudra Purushottam Dev Took this deity As The Victory Spice He said that he actually requested the deity to come And because of his devotion Gopala went He says that The king took the throne But he And he contrasts that with the King's asking for permission from the lord to come Ye Thaam Aam Prapadyante Thaam Sathaye Govajaam Nehaam Then One is devoted The lord reciprocates As a person with the devotee But when one is sceptical or atheistic Then the lord reciprocates accordingly Sometimes When the Muslims would conquer a kingdom They would either desecrate the deities or they would just take the deity with them And they would Put them in some cellar or some godown As a sign of how They had defeated the foreign god That they had defeated the false god rather But when virtuous kings would Have for some reason fights Or the temples would be protected and in fact Pratap Rudra wanted to Offer greater worship If the anna was related to a small village he wanted to offer greater worship And he requested the lord please come with me And this is the devotional disposition of this king Purushottamdeva also in the future texts Jagannathe Ani Dila Manikya Simhasan Katake Gopala Seva Karila Sthapan And The Manikya Simhasan Which the king had conquered The king had procured seized The king did not keep for himself He gave it to Jagannath So the kings of the dynasty Had the mood that Jagannath is the real ruler And we are all his servants So Jagannath Ani Dila Manikya Simhasan And Katake Gopala Seva Karila Sthapan And similarly when he brought the Gopala deity What did he do? He established the service of Gopala In Katak Tahaara Mahishi Aila Gopala Darshane Bhakti Kari Bahu Alankara Kaila Samarpane Tahaara Mahishi His queen then came there Aila Gopala Darshane She came to behold the darshan of Gopala When the king would come back After a victorious campaign The news of the exploits of the king Would spread far and wide through the kingdom And citizens and palace residents And everyone would want to know What was it that the king has brought after a victorious campaign So when his queen heard that He had brought a beautiful Gopala deity And instituted the worship of Gopala in Katak She herself said I want to behold the beauty of the deity Behold this beautiful deity please And she herself came there Aila Gopala Darshane Bhakti Kari Bahu Alankara Kaila Samarpane So the husband and wife The royal couple both had great devotion So with devotion she offered obeisances Bhakti Kari Bahu Alankara And the ornaments Kaila Samarpane She offered the ornaments to the deity And after that Tahara Nasate Bahumulya Mukta Hai Tahadi Te Icha Hai La Mane Te Chintai Now Tahara Nasate For her nose Bahumulya Mukta Hai She had a precious pearl Very valuable stone Tahadi Te Icha Hai La She had the desire to give that To the lord She contemplated I would like to give this to the lord So we see That although she was a royal lady She had such devotion That she was ready to give One of her most precious possessions To the lord Now This could be seen Shouldn't we offer fresh jewels to the lord Why? Actually Actually Pearls and such stones are not very easy to get And the deity had come unexpectedly So Getting a fresh pearl It is very costly, not easily available And all that arrangement would have taken time And this queen she had just rushed After hearing the news that the deity has come She had come to take darshan of opa And now she just wanted to offer whatever she She had brought some ornaments with her, some jewels to offer But seeing the beauty of the deity and feeling Devotion Becoming upsurge in her heart, she wanted to offer much more What is the best thing that I have that I can offer And she decided that I would like to offer her this Precious pearl that I have in my house And in this way Her devotional intention became prominent And she started contemplating Should I offer or not, what happened With this sweet devotional intention How it was fructified, we will see in our next talk.
