Thank you So here Bhishma is praying To Krishna in his Last moments And he is remembering The moment when Krishna’s glory Was proclaimed To the whole world Through the Rajasuya sacrifice Of Maharaja Yudhisthira In which Krishna Was selected For the Agra Puja So at that time Munigana Drupavarya Samkule And Taha Munigana All the great sages In the world were present Drupavarya Even all the greatest Kings of the world All were present Samkule And Taha In that Grace Assembly Sadasi During that conference During that meeting Yudhisthira Rajasuya Esha That Rajasuya Yajna Of Maharaja Yudhisthira So Arhanam Upapeda Ekshanya At that time He received The respectful worship From all the people In fact Bhishma played A very important role At that time Because Shishupal Opposed And Bhishma Strongly supported And glorified Krishna And then Shishupal In a Torrent Of abuse Not only Blasphemed Krishna But even Viciously abused Bhishma He went to the extreme Of saying that You took your He told Bhishma You took your so called Celebrated vow Of celibacy Because you were Actually impotent And Bhishma was Enraged On hearing His grandfather So grievously Insulted And would have Pounded Shishupal To pulp With his own fists But Bhishma Checked him And he laughed And he said That oh Bhishma Stop This person Can bray Like a donkey Only as long as Keshava Allows him to In one moment Keshava Can finish him off In the Mahabharata Krishna is referred More or less often By the name Keshava And then finally That’s what Krishna did By using Sakalachakra He bloodlessly Decapitated Shishupal And The sacrifice Went on So Aranama Obtained Ekshanyam So he is remembering That moment when Krishna Received Agra Puja It was A devotee’s fondest Dream that Krishna’s glory Is spread Far and wide In fact just as A conditioned soul Desires That his glories Be spread far and wide A devotee desired That Krishna’s glory Spread far and wide And to that end Ekshanyam Ekshanyam Is very very Beautiful to behold So this was the Dream of Bheeshma Come true at that time To have the Whole world In fact the whole Universe acknowledge The glory Of Krishna And that moment Just as a materialistic Person Remembers the moments Of his own Great triumph And when he Looks back at Fond memories A devotee Remembers The moments of Krishna’s Glorification As his Greatest moments And Mamadrishi Gochar Ekshya Viratma So he’s saying That lord who Looked so beautiful On that day All that That glorification Mamadrishi Gochar So it happened When I was there And I beheld I was able to behold That beautiful Celebrated sweet Occasion And I remember It now Ekshya Viratma In my personal Presence It happened So a devotee Cherishes As Among The fondest Memories The memories When He was able To be a part In some Extraordinary Glorification Of Krishna And such is the Glorification That happened At Rajasuya Yajna And Bhishma Is fondly Remembering it In our life also We all want to do Wonderful things And the principle of Bhakti Is not against Asking wonderful Things It simply Asks us to change Our notion Of what is wonderful Rather than Thinking of Our own Glorification As wonderful We understand Krishna’s Glorification To be wonderful And we focus on That glorification Of Krishna Spreading it Intensifying it Magnifying it And Letting the Whole world Relish it While ourselves Relish it also And while It is wonderful To let the Whole world Become attracted To Krishna’s Glories It is also Important that We ourselves Become attracted To Krishna’s Glories And that Opportunity To absorb Ourselves In the attractive Glories of Krishna Offers us That opportunity Opportunity Comes before us When we are Practicing chanting Of the holy Names And the Process of Devotion service So by the Example of Krishna We can Remember How we can Remember Krishna And aspire Not for Worldly Glorification Of our Own selves But for the Supreme Glorification Of Krishna Which will Be the way We will be able To make steady And swift Spiritual advancement In our Spiritual life
