“He (virAj) was not at all happy (because he was alone). Therefore, people (still) are not happy when alone. He desired a mate. He became as big as man and wife embracing each other. He parted this very body into two. From that came husband and wife. Therefore, said yAjnavalkya, this (body) is one-half of oneself, like one of two halves of a split pea. Therefore this space is indeed filled by the wife. He was united with her. From that men were born.
She thought, ‘How can he be united with me after producing me from himself? Well, let me hide myself.’ She became a cow, the other became a bull and was united with her; from that cows (and bulls) were born. The one became mare, the other a stallion; the one became a she-ass, the other became a he-ass and was united with him; from that one-hoofed animals were born. The one became a she-goat, the other he-goat; the one became a ewe, the other became a ram and was united with her; from that, goats and sheep were born. Thus did he project every thing that exists in pairs, down to the ants.”
3 - bRndA – tuLasi - her name in her previous birth was bRndA. The story of tulasi is given in tuLasi mahAtmyam wherein the following is told by Lord vishNu to tuLasi -
"O exalted one, you performed austerities for a long time to get Me as your husband. And SankhacUDa also performed austerities for a long time to get you as his wife. By that austerity, he fulfilled his wish. It was then necessary for Me to fulfill your wish. For this reason, I did what I did. Now leave your earthly body and assume a spiritual body and be married to Me. Be like Laksmi.”
4 - dAruka vana – The story relates to Lord Siva taking the avatAra as bhikshATana who asks for alms.
Comments -
1 – avani – There is some doubt about translation of the word. The obvious meaning of this word is ‘Earth’; however, to derive such meaning, the form of the word seems to be incorrect. Therefore it has been split as ‘avu+ani’ to mean ‘to be fine’?
This kRti forms part of dance-drama ‘nauka caritraM’ – The Boat Story.
Background - The gOpis meet kRshNa at the yamunA river and contemplate travel in a boat. kRshNa says that it is not within the capacity of the women to steer boat and says he will do the job; however, gOpis do not believe Him and think that He is up to some trick. After Lord convinces them, they all travel in the boat. kRshNa sports with each of the Gopi individually (taking so many forms). gOpis wonder as to what penances did they perform in order to enjoy like this with the Lord. As kRshNa exhorts them to row the boat in the Westerly direction, gOpis think that this is another ruse of kRshNa and they tell their minds to him. As the gOpis are enamoured by each other to be Lord hari Himself, the celestial damsels come to watch the spectacle. In this kRti the arrogance of gopis that Lord belongs to them is depicted.
