82 - Radha-Krishna Sahasra-nama-kathanam A thousand names of Radha and Krishna 

         The entire chapter promises to give five hundred names of Krishna first, but we find only four hundred and ninety-seven names in the first section. After wards in section two, from verse 128, we find four hundred ninety-four names of Radha. The number makes a total of nine hundred ninety-one names. In Narada Pancharatra we find one thousand names of Krishna and Radha separately. In Chap. IV/VIII of the text one thousand name of Krishna occur and in Chap. V/V we find a thousand names of Radha. Many of the names tally with the names of the present text. The names of Radha and Krishna are connected with the exploits of Kapa in Vrundavana, Mathura and Dvaraka and may be traced in the Mahabharata, Bhagavata and Brahmavaivarta purana also. 

Sanatkumara said:

1-3. O Narada, don’t you know that from the trident bearing lord you acquired in the previous birth of yours the twin-natured secret of Krishna’s mantra. Recollect, if it has been forgotten. 

Suta Said:

O brahmins, on being addressed thus by the intelligent Kumara, Narada meditated and quickly realised the early story of his previous birth. Then Narada, the beloved of the lord, went on meditating for a long time. On recollecting all good accounts, he became delighted with a beaming face. 

4-5. He said, “O holy sir, all the happenings that had occurred in the previous kalpa are remembered by me except the twin-natured acquisition. 

On hearing the words of Narada of great soul, the holy sage Sanatkumara spoke precisely. 

Sanatkumara said:

6-7. O brahmin, listen. I shall tell you how in that previous birth Krishna’s secret had been acquired by you. Listen attentively. Before this Sarasvata Kalpa, in the twenty-fifth kalpa you were born in the family of Kashyapa under the name Narada. 

8-10a. Once you went to Kailasa to ask lord Shiva the truth regarding Krişhņa, the great Yogin. You asked Shiva the resident of Kailasa. The great lord whom you had asked, recounted precisely the secret which was self-revealed and in consonance with Hari’s perpetual sportive nature (nitya lila). At the end of the story Hara was asked by you to show the eternal sports of Hari. 

10b-13. Then Sadashiva said ‘Gopījanavallabhacharanam Sharanam prapadye’ is the mantra (I seek refuge in the feet of the lover of the womenfolk of the cowherds). The sage of the mantra in Surabhi, the metre is Gayatri, the deity is the lordly lover of the cowherd lasses. The utility is Sarangi in his devotion as expressed. I have sought refuge’. 

14. O brahmin, there is no need of its being siddha (and sadhya) etc. nor of its purification, and the requirement of nyasa. 

Only meditation is the way for the revelation of the perpetual 

Sport. 

15-16. I shall recount means for the internal piety now. The devotee must be endowed with devotion to the preceptor. After receiving the mantra from him he should think all sorts of his teacher’s desire. Remaining steady in one’s own spiritual attitude and meditating on his soul, he should think of his mercifulness and propitiate the preceptor. 

17. He shall learn the virtues of good people, those virtues which dispel the fear of those who seek refuge, which are devoid of anxieties over worldly or other-worldly affairs and which bestow siddhis. 

18. He should always propitiate the devotees of Vishnu considering them to be his desired deity. He should never think of reproaching them. 

19. All the objects of worldly pleasures and those belonging to the other world will be presented by Krishna himself in accordance with one’s previous deeds. 

20. He shall always meditate on lord Krishna engaged in eternal sports. He shall always serve Krişhņa as incarnated in the idols worshipped by him. 

21. He should be exclusively thought of by those intelligent devotees who have taken refuge into him and the suppliants while remaining indifferent to their persons and abodes. 

22-24. O dear one, keep away from these terrible defects viz. disrespect to the preceptor, hatred towards good people, differentiating between Hara and Hari, disrespect of the Vedas, zealously committing sins in the name of Hari explaining away the names of Hari as a concocted story, teaching of Hari’s names unto an atheist or an idle man, forgetting of names and lack of respect to the names. 

25. One shall continuously think: I have sought refuge in Hari stationed in the heart. It is lie who will protect me always. 

26. O lord of Radha, I belong to you physically, mentally and verbally. I always resort to Krishna and his beloved Radha. You two alone are my goal. 

27. O excellent sage, all the servants, friends, fathers and beloved wives of Hari are eternal. They must be thought of by the noble-souled one. 

28. He makes frequent travels to and fro along the forests and the cowherd’s colony. He tends cows along with his friends except the slaying of demons. 

29. Hari’s comrades are mentioned to be twelve. They are Shridáma and others. Radha’s girl friends are mentioned to be thirty-two. They are Sushila and others. 

30-31. O dear one, you must consider yourself as one of those ladies among them endowed with beauty and youth, a virgin well-bedecked in ornaments, conversant with different kinds of arts and crafts befitting the enjoyment of Krişhņa highly delighted and pleased. Thanks to the happiness in serving him thus. 

32. The devotee shall serve them by means of timely attendance, beginning from the early morning within an hour before sunrise and ending with midnight. 

33. With great concentration he should recite their thousand names every day. O leading sage, this is the way for those who seek refuge unto them. 

34-36. The truth which has been revealed by me to you should not be told to anybody. 

Sanatkumara said:

Thereafter, O Narada, you asked Sadashiva for the thousand names. He recounted them to you, Listen. After meditating on the lord who stands accompanied by Radha resorting to the Kalpa tree by the Yamuna in the forest of Vrundavana, O great sage, one should recite the thousand names called Yugala (the twins) both of lord Krishna and Radha.
