1)
Now therefore we will describe devotion.
As poer smrithi sentence omkara,atha word in
past emitted from neck (throat) of brahmsadeva , these are indicative of mangala(good).This is believed by all
asthikas(theists). For that only for
avoidance of vighnas(obstructions,troubles,problems) this shloka is
used.
Like this epic sentence to all mangalas dependence Sri hari in whose heart is always present to such devotees
amangala(bad) will not happen. But in beginning of book to follow formality , Narada who has kept
Narayana in heart, here has used word
]atha’.
Bhagavatha-1-2-42
To those who have surrendered god devotion, divine experience, dispassion in sense objects(vishaya viraga)-as all
these happen together ego (ahankara
)Gets reduced supreme joy will happen
(is got).Therefore in order to get
parama purusharthas(chief objectives of human life to be achieved) this
scripyure is started.
CHANDOGYA UPANISHATH: 7-24-1
Where another one is not seen another one is
not heard,,where other one is not known, that itself is bhuma. Where he sees
another,hears another,,knows another, that is alpa(small) Which is bhuma that
is amritha. Which is small that is marthya”
2)FEATURES
of devotion form:
That is limitless love form in him
Athma added woth nature character is
called kshehrajna. One who has left all those is called
paramathma(supremeself,universal self,god).
To me and you all those who know body as themselves trueli inside present athma is god.
In Vishnu purana All this world
is all animals form vishnu’s vibhuthi. Those who are
vivekies should see this as their athma
with abheda(non difference).
Like this prahlada has told.
Vihnu purana 2-16-23
All what is here all is one god only. That itself is this
achyutha. Other than him nobody else is there for ever. He is myself. He only
is you. And he only is all these. All is athma form leave difference
fascination. Like this nidagha tells.
(if seen properly paramtma thathva is
seen here only in heart cavr.(mundaka.(3-1-7).
Bri. 1-4-8) Thjerefore this athma is
dearer than son. Very much dearer. Dearer than all remaining. This is inner
than all.
According to lakshana sentence of scholars1)
words (talk) should be as much as possible 2) about matter of meaning there
should be no doubt. 3) there should be summary in meaning. 4) By one talk various kinds of meanings
should be produced. It should not include meaningless words. 55) there should
be no defect in sentence meaning.
3)That is
amrithathva form only
Bri
.1-5-3
‘desire,determination(sankalpa),
doubt, faith, not to believe, to keep mind in matter on;ly,no firmness,
shyness, intellect,fear all these are vritthies only(mental modifications,mntal
fluctuations) . these happen by which
outere causes,those are matters(sense objects).
Vishnu purana 1-19,-84,85,86
‘o namaskarams to Vishnu. To him
again again namaskarams.,in whom all is present,,by whom all is formed, one who
has become all,residence(ashraya) to all namaskarams to him.
4) Fruit of devotion
If this is got purusha becomes
siddha. Becomes amritha, becomes satisfied.
MEANING OF PUMAN(PURUSHA):
Vishnu purana.2-13-97,96
Male, female(woman), ox,horse,
elephant,bird, tree—these are all bodies which are happened by karma kept by people. Jiva is not god,not man, not animal, not tree also. These
body shapes are due to karmas.
Bhagavatha 11-14 -14
‘Devotee who has dedicted his mind in
me only brahma padavi(post), mahendra’s
heaven,or emperor’s post or world lordship ,yogasiddhi, or liberation without
rebirth-except me he will not desire any other thing!
Mukundamala 4
‘I am desiring your lotus feet for
use of getting liberation. Sri hari,,I am not doing namaskarams to avoid
kumbhipaka hell pain also, In Indra’s
divine garden also I don’t want to enjoy
wit apsaras(divine damsels),.what more is In birth and birth also in heart
cave let me be feeling you’ A
devotee wants to feel (remember) god
continuously in heart. After getting god
Iwill get moksha( liberation)
named purushartha. What else? Though he does not want he will get siddhi(accomplishment) of god
attainment(Bhagavath prapthi).
MUNDAKA 3-2-9
‘One who knows parabrahma as his own
form be becomes brahma only. In his
family there will be no one who does not know brahma. He crosses sorrow. He
crosses dharma adharma form sin. By
bavidya granthies(knots) in heart
getting released will become amritha.Like this mundaka shruthi ntells.
A.DHA.1-8-22-4
Like this it is told in Apasthambha book.’All animals present in heart cave, destructionless,
sinless, paramathma’s puras . Non moving in moving body him
knowing who are meditating they
are Amrithas.’.This is the meaning of suthra.
Bhagavatha 11-19- 45
What is character?what is defect? By
describing these in various ways is of
no use. To tell inone word
character,defect- to divide and see itself is defect. Absence of these
two intellects is intellect is character. Like this god’s vision. To one who
is indulging in gods devotion which is beyond character and
defect in which there will be hatred?
Except god in which he wants to be
happy?
GITHA-12-13
Meaning of this sentence is : akshara form god
only doing upasana, standing in samyak jnana only, residing,,who has left all
eshanas (ashanas,desires)),sanyasies ‘Advesta sarva bhuthanam’ like this
described,cause of getting amrithathva directly , to tell dharma group god has started.
BHAGAVATHA 11-14-15
‘uddhava to me brahma,shiva,balarama ,Lakshmi ,at end myself
only are not so much dear as you”.
Githa18-54,55
One who has become brahma svarupa(form) becoming
pleased in mind will leave sorrow
and desire in world. Present in all equally, will get my devotion. By devotion
how much greatness I am having, Which form I am? Knowing like this, by that
thathvajnana(philosophy) joins in me only-has told like this.
Bhagavatha 1-13-16
This Eshwara body let it be meditation stage in any way. Or awaken to one who is siddha this is not seen.
Because he has already got his own form(svarupa). Intoxicated by
alcohol, one who does not see anything
by dauva vasha (by gods
grace) cloth on body slips and
falls or by god’s grace is on body properly, he will not see. Like thsat
only his condition.

82) Guna mahathma interest, form
interest, wotrship interest, smarana(remembrance) interest, interent in servent
ship, vathsalya (affection,kindness), kanthasakthi (interest as husband),
athmavivedana interest, thanmaya sakthi(interest in indulgence), interest in
supreme dispassion(parama virahasakthi) are kinds of devotion- truly it has only one form. Like this leven
kinds.
83) Like this sanathkumara, vyasa, shuka, shanfilya, Garga,
Vishnu, koundinya, shesha, uddhava, Aruni, Bali, Hanumantha, Vibhishana- all
these excetra acharyas without fearing to
chats of people are telling only one openion.
84) Who keeping faith in
scripture advice told by Narada, behave with devotion, he becoming
devotee will get beloved
god(bhagavantha).

BHAKTHI SUTHRAS:
CHAPTER 1:
1)Now ,therefore jignasa (desire to
know, (jnathum + iccha) of devotion will be done.
2) that is very much love In Eshwara.
3) To one who is residing in him, as
amrithathva is adviced,devotion jignasa
Is not useless.
4 )to word ‘samstha’ if meaning jnana
is objected we say no. because there will be no sincerity to knowledge
of one who hates(objects).
5) And from that devotion jnana will have upakshaya(reduction?), should
be known like this.
6) As it is opposite to hatred, as
word rasa is used devotion is love form only.
7) Devotion is not action(kriya).
8)Therefore only fruit is infinet.
9)Devotion is not knowledge. Like
other prapatthi(surrendering, sharanagathi)
this should be known.
10) It is important. Because other
meanses desire it.
11) By prakarana also(should be nown
like this).
12) If amrithathva is fruit of darshana(vision) ,if told, it is not so.
Because in the middle word’he’ has come.
13)And it is seen like this in world also.(knowledge is part of
devotion)
14)therefore only though it is not there to gopies liberation
is told.
15) Through devotion knows god. If
told like this not right. Because with
help of devotion through abhijnapthi( self experience?) knows.
16) and this has been told earlier
only.
17) by this answer is given that there may be vikalpa in jnana and devotion.
18) Divine devotion is applicable to others who are not gods.Like this told
together.
19) (In achievement(practice) of liberation what is place of Pathanjala yoga?-this is the
question.)
Yoga is useful to devotion and
jnana(knowledge). Because like prayaja( both those this) desirre.
Devotion is known by evidence of
shruthies.
And is known by epics and histories
also.
20) but by gouni devotion Samadhi (trance) is accomplished.
21) As devotion is love form to be renunciated.If told like this, it is not
right. Because it depends upon better
parameshwara . As in matter of attachment(sanga) here also should be known.
22) As told earlier(su.9) In this
scripture to bhagavadgitha place and
honour of shruthi is given. Therefore present in suthra ‘shabdath’ as there is
shruthi. Like meaning is to be done.
23) by question and answers also devotion will increase as it is proved that
only is important.
24) Devotion is not in form of Shraddha only. Because
shraddha is ordinary.
(shraddha-interest and sincerity).
25) In case if devotion is
shraddhe(interest and sincerity) it becomes anavastha. ( it is not shraddha).
26) brahmakanda is present for
devotion. Because it’s knowlrdge is equal to both kandas.(kanda –branch),part.).

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,CHAPTER
2:
1)first ahnika
27) like avaghatha (blow,stroke) till
purification should be tryinmg for
brahma vishayaka (related with brahma
matter). knowledge.
28) And their parts also again again
should be practiced.
((not enough if only parts of
knowledge are studied. Their parts
gurupasadana(going to uru’s house), logic(tharka not opposite to Vedas,
Shama dama excetras should be practiced again again.)
29)s that intellect should be in
favour of parameshwara like this kashyapa feels. That means parameshara is higher than jiva.
30)
Only athma should be object.like this Badarayana feels.
31) Intellect can have both as objects(matters). like this shandilya
says. Because shruthi and logic(tharka) support this only.
32) as there is difference
between jivathma and paramathma9to
concentrate intellect on both) is not proved(accomplished).It told not right.
Because like Abhijnana not special , (that means equal)(factors,parts,Amshas
are there, this is possible).
(parameshwara has power of creation,
maintainance, and destruction)
33) And parameshwara will not under
go sorrow. Because there is ananthara vishesha)
34) let it be as I matter of wealth
if told like this it is not proper. Because it is nature.
35) Parameshwara’s wealth is
not prohibited(forbidden). Not like that about matter of others because they
will be having his feeling only.
36)when there ara no jivathmas hat
will happen to wealth of parameshwara? It never happens like that. Because
intellects are infinet.
37) as it is betwwe nature to parabrahma no change(no viksarathva). Because first
thought, later following it creation excetra
works.
38) That which is based (residing)in
brahma may become like peeta
(seat,chair) in house.
39) brahma and prakrithies as they mutually desire those both are world
causes only.
40) Matter to chethana(spirit) ans chaithanya(spirit) leaving these two there is no third.
41) and as they are
anadies(beginingless) both two are
joined(merged).
42) as msanfest(vedya) work
is also power of parameshwara not
false.
43)And that devotion as there is purity in world is known through
signs(chinches).
44) honour,prize, love,
separation(viraha), other treatments, greatness fame, prana wearing for
parameshwara ,feeling that it belong to
him,,feeling that all is he only, he has no opposite(prathikula) –these
excetras are features of devotion. Because in smruthies those are described very much.
45) but not like that in matter of
hatreds excetras.
46) In gods pradurbhava (done
devotion also) same(that only). Because
it only is that vakyashesha (sentence remaining).
47) and to one knows parameshwara’s
birth and karmas there is no ebirth..like that there is shruthi. (known to be
like this).
48)And that birth is divine.because
it produced by own power only.
49) his grace only is main cause for
his rebirth.
50) In matter of vibhuthi done
devotion is not cause. Because those vibhuthies are are ordinary jivies(lives)
51)And as gambling and king’s service
is forbidden(prohibited) is to be known
like this.
52)9prohibition) is present in matter of vasudeva also..if
told like this not right.because only shape exists.
53)And as it isidentified like thi
also is to be known like this.
54) As he is high(shresta) among vrishnies only it is told like that.
55) Andlike this in famous
incarnations also.
SECOND AHNIKA:
56) As upasamhara (closure,ending) is
done by gouni devotion bhajan gouni
devotion will be for para devotion(supreme devotion) only.because it is cause
of that.
57)
as other devotions also produce
love(anuraga) along with
prakirthana as it Is told
will produce main devotion.
58)
But other devotions told in
middle are parts of chief devotion. In the same way in upasanas(also told).
Because those belong to brahma kanda.
(brahma branch).
59)s B those holness is produced.
Because staring like tht it is told.
60)in those as main devotion is added
more fruit is produced. Few acharyas feel like this.
61)
Than told in previous suthras
different openion is described
here. As name of acharya jaimini is mentioned his openion is acceptable to
suthra maker.
62) here,inmatter of usage of
Angas-as in house excetras- should carried out in time.
63)
to make eshwara happy, among these
one strong is enough.
64) coming as fruit of
dedication lack of money s door to
parabhakthi(supreme devotion).
65) rule of meditation is due to facility of drista
vasthu(thing to be seen).
66) there ‘yuj’ dhathu(root) is used in meaning of worship. It is not like
that in matter of other yagas.
67) Padodaka means padya only.
Because in other places it is not applicable.
68) What is dedicated to god can be taken by own self also. Because Sathva thathva in his
matter also is equal.
69) In matter of gods crimes9divine
crimes) nimittha(cause ) and vaigunya
accoding to thse there is classification.
70) donation leaves(pathres) is is part of devotion only. Otherwise t becomes
special.
71) as it is produced by sukritha (good
deed) cause to parabhskthi(supreme
devotion).devotions are better among
actions(kriyas).
72) three kinds of devotees are
important. For praise he is joined with
another(jnani).
73)Like avesti(?) and sava(shravana kirthana devotion) may become both outer and inner.
74) smrithi (remembering
,smarane) kirthane, god story excetras should be added in artha devotion.
Because those are in atonement
(prayaschittha) form.
75) very difficult
atonements(prayaschitthas) performance
will go off. If told lkike this not right. Because smarane excetras should
carried out up to end of body journey..upasamhara(ending)
is done like this. 9those should be included in
great atonements.)
76) (smarana(remembrance) excetras
sadhanas) though little destroys great sins. Because in matter of devotee all remaining atonements(prayaschitthas) are
left.
77)(which has come instead of
upasthambha(sacrifice pillar) , like onake(kirthana excetra sadhanas) it’s(
that means atonements) place it has come. So it has not got it’s dharma.
78) To those who have got blamed
birth (to all in devotion) will have eligibility(authority). By heritage (they
also can know matter of devotion). Like ordinary dharma. (All have got
eligibility in devotion).
79) As there eligibility to all in
devotion ,, those who have immature devotion also , in god’s world shvatha dvipa(white Island) taking birth ,
continueing practice will get para bhakthi( supreme devotion).
80)but( if understood like this only) kramagathi ,Ekagathi 9Gradual movement, one
movement) –these match.
81) Prsent in smrithi uthkranthika
by sentence remaining(known like this only).
82) But great sinners are eligible
for Artha devotion only.
83) That para bhakthi( supreme
devotion) itself is ehsantha
(loneliness) feel. Because githa has recognized this only as meaning.
84) By producing supreme
devotion(para bhakthi) only to all ( there is use in liberation). Because it is told like that.
CHAPTER 3:
85) To be worshiped (bhajaniya)
(eshwara) this world is not different.
Because all is his form only.
86) his power maya ( is material
cause(upadana cause) to world. Because it is equal in all inert(jada) substances.
87) vyapyas(means works) from
vyapakas (,means by their upadana(material) cause), as they are occupied (should be known like this/.
88) by intellect of jivathmas creation can’t happen. Because it does not happen.
89) Creating high and low jivies
(parameshwara) like father, creates (composes) shruthies also.
90) In Vedas excetras as violence mixed advice is given
(parameshwara is like father).If told no it is not right. Because it is small.
91) Karma fruit is produced
from him(from parameshwara) . Like this Badarayana tells. Because in world it
is found like that only.
92) Laya(destruction) happends in
viparitha wheel. Because in world it is found like that only.
SECOND AHNIKA:
93) Unmion is it’s nature. As seen in
matter of Adithya , to join with upadhi or to leave –through this multiplicity ans ekathva(oneness) is
produced.
(To leave jiva bhaava and to get brahma
bhaava(feel) is liberation)
94) If told jivathma is different
from paramatma( supreme self, universal seelf)It is not right. Because to
brightful jivathma there will be no
relation with paramahma. ( this appearance I mere show not paramartha. This is
doctrine(Siddhantha).
95) but jivatmas will not get
change(vikara). Because anthahkarana(mind)
gets vikara(change).
96) With unique devotion intellect
that I am himself only.This intellect is produced. When intellect gets
destroyed ultimately(very much )s liberation is got.
97) Till there is longevity
liberation is delayed. Other karmas will get destroyed.
There is no aspada(……..?) for them to
give fruit.
98) Their devotionlessness is cause
of family. Family is not produced due to
ignorance. Because ignorance is cause. This is not evident(established).
99) Like rudra to jivathmas word(shabda,sound),linga, and
Aksha called three eyes are there.
Pramana is means of getting knowledge. Prathyaksha(Direct),
anumana(inference), and agama(Apthavakya) these three pramanas are all
accepted. In this suthra‘Akha’ (eye,prathyaksha), by word linga(sign) inference(anumana), by word ‘shabda’ Shruthi
or agamas are accepted.
100)Avirbhava-thirodana named
vikaras(changes) happen. Because action is added with
fruit.(Avirbhaba-manifestation,thirodana –concealment).
