Sri Garga-samhita

Śrī Sannanda said: Ordered by Lord Kṛṣṇa in Goloka, Yamunā, the best of rivers, circumambulated the Lord and was about to go (to the earth).

Then the Virajā river and the spiritual Gaṅgā river both entered the Yamunā.

paripūrṇatamasyāpi O king Nanda, for this reason the people know that the Yamunā is the greatest of rivers and the first queen of Lord Kṛṣṇa.

nikuṣja-dvāra-nirgatā Then, with great force breaking through the current of the Virajā, the Yamunā left the gate of the transcendental forest grove.

asaṅkhya-brahmāṇḍa-cayaṁ Touching countless universes, she came to the spiritual Gaṅgā. With great force the great Yamunā river broke through the Gaṅgā's waters.

vāma-pādāṅguṣṭha-nakha- bhinna-brahmāṇḍa-mastake brahma-drava-samākule Then the Yamunā came to an opening Lord Vāmana's left toe had made in the top of a universe, an opening through which the spiritual Gaṅgā flowed.

With Śrī Gaṅgā entering that opening, the Yamunā, the best of rivers, then came to the unconquerable Lord's abode of Vaikuṇṭha in the planet of Mahārāja Dhruva.

Then the Yamunā came to Brahmaloka. Falling from Brahmā's planet, she went to the hundreds of planets of the demigods. She went from one planet to another.

sumeru-giri-mūrdhani Then with great force she fell on Mount Sumeru. Flowing from its peaks, she broke the stones on its slope.

Then, in order to go south from Mount Sumeru, Śrī Yamunā left Śrī Gaṅgā's path.

Then the Gaṅgā went to Mount Himavat and the great river Yamunā went to Mount Kalinda.

kālinda-giri-sānūnāṁ Because she is thus Mount Kalinda's daughter, she is named Kālindī. Flowing from Mount Kalinda's peaks, and breaking the hard rocks on his slopes, the sacred Kālindī swiftly flowed on the earth, purifying the countries she passed. Then she entered the Khāṇḍava forest.

Wishing to attain Lord Kṛṣṇa, the Original Supreme Personality of Godhead, as her husband, the Kālindī assumed a splendid spiritual form and performed great austerities.

Even today she stays in a water-house her father made for her. Then the Kālindī swiftly entered Vraja-maṇḍala.

Then she flowed through Vṛndāvana, beautiful Mathurā, and beautiful secluded Mahāvana.

yuthī-bhūtvāti-sundarī śrī-kṛṣṇacandra-rāsārthaṁ As the very beautiful leader of many gopīs, Śrī Yamunā made her home in Śrī Goloka to perform the rāsa dance with Śrī Kṛṣṇacandra.

vraja-vikṣepa-vihvalā premānandāśru-samyuktā As she left Vraja she became overwhelmed by feelings of separation. Filled with tears of bliss and love, she turned west (and returned to Vraja).

Then, bowing three times to Vraja-maṇḍala, she went to very holy Prayāga, purifying the countries she passed.

When, flowing with Śrī Gaṅgā, she entered the Kṣīra ocean, the demigods in heaven showered flowers and exclaimed victory!"

When dark Śrī Yamunā, who was the best of rivers and the daughter of Mount Kalinda, entered the ocean, she spoke to Śrī Gaṅgā with words choked with emotion.

śrī-yamunovāca sarva-brahmāṇḍa-pāvanī kṛṣṇa-pādābja-sambhūtā sarva-lokaika-vanditā Śrī Yamunā said: O Gaṅgā, you are fortunate. You purify all the universes. You were born from Lord Kṛṣṇa's lotus foot. Everyone bows down before you alone.

Now I will ascend to Lord Hari's abode. O beautiful one, you come also. There never was, nor will there ever be, anyone as glorious as you.

śrī-gaṅgovāca Śrī Gaṅgā said: I, the Gaṅgā, who contain all holy places, bow down before you. O auspicious one, please forgive any improper words I may have said.

sarva-brahmāṇḍa-pāvanī kṛṣṇa-vamāṁsa-sambhūtā paramānanda-rūpiṇī O dark Yamunā, you are the fortunate one. You purify all the universes. You were born from Lord Kṛṣṇa's left shoulder. Your form is full of transcendental bliss.

sarva-lokaika-vanditā paripūrṇatamasyāpi You are most perfect and complete. You are worshiped by all. You are dear to Śrī Kṛṣṇa, the great Supreme Personality of Godhead.

O dark Yamunā, I bow down to you, the first queen of Lord Kṛṣṇa. The holy places and demigods find it difficult to attain you. Even in Goloka it is difficult to attain you.

By Lord Kṛṣṇa's order I must go to Pātālaloka now. I am unhappy to leave you, but I cannot go with you.

I will become a leader of many gopīs in the rāsa-dance circle in Śrī Vraja. O beloved of Lord Hari, please forgive any improper words I may have said.

Śrī Sannanda said: Bowing down before each other, the two rivers then quickly went their respective ways. The heavenly Gaṅgā went to Pātālaloka, purifying the planets as she passed.

There she is named Bhogavatī, for she flows through the Bhogavatī forest. Lord Śeṣa and Lord Śiva carry her water on Their heads.

sāpta-dvīpa-mahī-pṛṣṭhe Quickly traversing the seven oceans, the dark Yamunā quickly flowed through the world of seven islands.

tat-sānu-gaṇḍa-śailānāṁ Then the Yamunā flowed to the golden land and then Mount Lokāloka where, flowing from its peaks, she broke the rocks on its slopes.

sphāravaj-jala-dhārayā Then she rose again to its peaks and, with a great stream of water, rose to Svargaloka in the heavenly worlds.

She passed through the planets on the way to Brahmaloka and, meeting the Gaṅgā at the opening in the universe, went to Lord Hari's abode.

As the demigods showered flowers and bowed down to offer respects, Śrī Yamunā, the best of rivers, returned to Śrī Kṛṣṇa's abode of Goloka.

If a person in this world hears or reads this auspicious and ever-new pastime of Mount Kalinda's daughter Yamunā, he will attain great auspiciousness. If one regularly reads or remembers this pastime, he will attain the transcendental forest groves where the Supreme Lord enjoys His pastimes. Chapter Sixteen Srī Yamunā-kavaca The Srī Yamunā Armor

śrī-mandhātovāca Srī Mandhātā said: O fortunate one, please give to me the supremely splendid kavaca of Srī Yamunā, Lord Krsna's queen. I will always keep in very carefully.

Srī saurabhi said: O noble-hearted king, please hear the Yamunā-kavaca, which protects one from all dangers and brings to one the four goals of life.

punḍarīka-daleksanām One should meditate on dark, four-armed, beautiful, lotus-petal-eyed Yamunā, who is seated on a chariot. Then one should meditate on the Yamunā-kavaca.

A brāhmana should bathe, face the east, refrain from conversation, offer the sandhyā prayers, sit in the svastika-āsana posture on a kuca mat, tie his hair with kuca grass, and recite the following words.

May Yamunā always protect my head. May Krsnā always protect my eyes. May Syāmā always protect my eyebrows. May Nākavāsinī always protect my nose.

paramānanda-rupinī krsna-vāmāmsa-sambhutā May Paramānanda-rupinī always protect my cheeks. May Krsna-vāmāmsa-sambhutā always protect my ears.

May Kālindī always protect my lips. May Surya-kanyakā always protect my chin. May Yama-svasā always protect my neck. May Mahā-nadī always protect my chest.

May Krsna-priyā always protect my back. May Tatinī always protect my arms. May Sucronī always protect my loins. May Cāru-darcanā always protect my hips.

May Rambhoru always protect my thighs. May Agghri-bhedinī always protect my knees. May Rāsecvarī always protect my ankles. May Pāpa-prahārinī always protect my feet.

paripurnatama-priyā May Paripurnatama-priyā always protect me from everything that is inside, outside, above, below, in the eight directions, and in the entire universe.

A pauper who ten times recites with devotion this very wonderful Yamunā-kavaca becomes wealthy.

A wise brahmacārī who eats little and for three months recites this kavaca attains a great kingdom. Of this there is no doubt.

What is not attained by a person who within three months chants this kavaca 110 times with devotion?

A person who rises early and recites this kavaca attains the result of all pilgrimages. At the end of his life he goes to Srī Goloka, the supreme abode, which even the great yogīs cannot attain. .pa Chapter Seventeen Srī Yamunā-stava Prayers to Srī Yamunā

śrī-mandhātovāca Srī Mandhātā said: O Saubhari, O tiger among sages, please kindly tell me the transcendental Yamunā-stava, which brings all perfection.

catur-vargya-phala-pradam Srī Saubhari said: O noble-hearted one, please hear the Yamunā-stava, which grants all perfection and brings the four goals of life.

krsna-vāmāmsa-bhutāyai Obeisances to Srī Yamunā, who was bron from Srī Krsna's left shoulder! Obeisances to Srī Yamunā, who has a spiritual form like that of Lord Krsna! O Srī Yamunā, obeisances to you! Obeisances to you!

nadan-milindādi-kalinda-nandinī To a person that is lusty, foolish, polluted with many sins, and fond of quarreling with the devotees, Srī Yamunā, who is filled with many buzzing bees, gives residence in the transcendental abode of Goloka.

O Yamunā, you have a spiritual form like that of Srī Krsna. In your whirlpools Lord Matsya appears. In your waves Lord Kurma appears. In each drop of your water, Lord Krsna is splendidly manifest.

I offer my respectful obeisances unto you, who are playful, who are dark as a monsoon cloud, who were born from Lord Krsna's left shoulder, who move swiftly, who are also named Virajā, who carry all waters, who break the coverings of the universe, who break great mountains and fortresses, who flow through the earth, who have beautiful shores, and who are a garland decorating the earth.

O Yamunā, when it is heard on this earth, your holy name desrtoys a great mountain of sin. When your name is spoken it again destroys a great host of sins. May your holy name stay in the circle of my words. In the city of your brother, Yamarāja, who is the son of the sun-god, you are known by the name Pracanḍā.

Srī Yamunā is a rope to pull one out of the blind well of sense gratification. Srī Yamunā is a snake to eat the rat of sin. Srī Yamunā is a beautiful crown of flowers on the usnik poems that are the hair on the head of the Lord's universal form. Srī Yamunā gives wealth and good fortune to the people of this world. Even is Goloka, Srī Yamunā is dear, rare, glorious, and without any rival.

tvat-kāntāra-kutuhalāli-kula-krj-jhagkāra-kekākulaḥ O Yamunā, O place where the gopīs, gopas, and cows enjoy pastimes, O glory of Lord Krsna, by your shores is a great tumult of swiftly moving waves, by your shores is a great forest filled with the buzzing of bees and the calls of the peacocks, by your shores is a host of cooing cuckoos. May Srī Yamunā, who is decorated with the flowering vines of Vraja, protect me.

Even if they have as many tongues as there are hairs on their bodies or grains of sand on the beach, or even if they are as powerful as Lord Sesa, the most exalted devotees still cannot properly descibe all your virtues.

A person who at sunrise hears or recites these prayers glorifying Srī Yamunā attains transcendental auspiciousness. A person who regularly hears and remembers these prayers attains the supreme transcendental abode, where the Supreme Personality of Godhead enjoys pastimes in the forests by the Yamunā's shore. .pa Chapter Eighteen Patala-paddhati-varnana The Names and Worship of Srī Yamunā

śrī-mandhātovāca Srī Mandhātā said: O tiger among sages, you are filled with transcendental knowledge. Please describe to me the Yamunā-patala and the Yamunā-paddhati, which fulfill all desires.

Srī Saubhari said: I will now describe to you the Yamunā-patala and the Yamunā-paddhati. One who performs them, hears them, or chants them becomes liberated even in this life.

First one says Om, then the Māyā-bīja, then the Ramā-bīja, and then the Kāma-bīja.

Then one takes the word Kālindī, places the word devī after it, places these words in the dative case, and then adds the word namaḥ. This is the mantra that one chants. Note: The mantra then becomes, "Om hrīm śrīm klīm kālindyai devyai namaḥ".

They who chant this eleven-syllable mantra attain perfection. They attain all their desires.

In a sacred circle one should draw a sixteen-petal lotus flower. In the whorl of the lotus one should write the words Srī Krsna and Kālindī.

On the petals one should write the names Jāhnavī, Virajā, Krsna, Candrabhāgā, Sarasvatī, Gomatī, Kaucikī, Venī, Sindhu, Godāvarī, Vedasmrti, Vetravatī, Satadru, Sarayu, Rsi-kulyā, and Kakudminī. Then an exalted person should worship the lotus flower.

Then one should write the names Vrndāvana, Govardhana, Vrndā, and Tulasī in the four directions. Then one should worship the lotus with these names.

om namo bhagavatyai kalinda-nandinyai surya-kanyakāyai yama-bhaginyai śrī-krsna-priyāyai yuthī-bhutāyai svāhā, anena mantrenāvāhanādi-soḍacopacārān samāhita upāharet. Then one should chant the mantra, "om namo bhagavatyai kalinda-nandinyai surya-kanyakāyai yama-bhaginyai śrī-krsna-priyāyai yuthī-bhutāyai svāhā (Obeisances to goddess Yamunā, the daughter of Mount Kalinda, the daughter of the sun-god, the sister of Yamarāja, the gopī-beloved of Srī Krsna)." Then, offering sixteen articles one should carefully offer worship.

Please know that what I have just spoken is the patala. Now I will speak to you the paddhati. After the puraccarana is completed one should live as a brahmacārī brāhmana, keeping a vow of silence, eating leaves and barley, sleeping on the ground, controlling one's mind, and chanting mantras.

O king, one should free oneself from lust, anger, bewilderment, and hatred, and with great devotion one should chant mantras.

ārunodaya-velāyām During brāhma-muhurta one should meditate on goddess Yamunā and at sunrise one should bathe in the Yamunā.

sandhyā-vandana-tat-paraḥ At midday and sunset one should again offer obeisances to the Yamunā. O king, when this vow of worshiping the Yamunā is completed, one should stand at the Yamunā's shore.

Then one should worship one million exalted brāhmana along with their sons. One should offer them fragrant flowers and delicious foods.

vastra-bhusana-sauvarna- Then one should offer them garments, ornaments, and golden cups. In this way one should offer them daksinā. Then one's observance of this vow is properly completed.

O noble-hearted king, in this way I have described to you the Yamunā-paddhati. Please follow this vow in all respects. What more do you wish to hear? .pa Chapter Nineteen Srī Yamunā-sahasra-nāma-kathana A Thousand Names of Srī Yamunā

śrī-mandhātovāca Srī Mandhātā said: O tiger among the sages, you know everything. You are never bewildered. Please tell me the thousand names of Srī Yamunā, names that bring all perfection.

śrī-krsna-vaca-kārakam Sri Saubhari said: O King Mandhātā, now I will tell you the thousand transcendental names of Sri Yamunā, names that bring all perfection, names that make Lord Krsna into one's submissive servant.

rsiḥ cri-yamunā devatāḥ anusthup-chandaḥ māyā-bijam iti kilakam ramā-bijam iti caktiḥ cri-kalinda-nandini-prasāda-siddhy-arthe jape viniyogaḥ. Om. Here follows the Sri Yamunā-sahasra-nāma-mantra. The seer is Sri Saubhari Muni. The deity is Sri Yamunā. The meter is anustup. The kilaka is māyā-bija. The cakti is ramā-bija. The purpose is to attain Sri Yamunā's mercy.

iti dhyānam.
