Narayaneeyam Dasakam: 76-- Krishna Sending Uddhava as a Messenger

Krishna Sending Uddhava as a Messenger:
 
Along with Balaraama Krishna went to sage Sandipani's aashram and mastered all knowledge in just 64 days. Thou brought back Thy guru Sandipani's dead son from Yama's abode and gave him by way of Guru-dakshinaa , in the process, acquiring the conch, Panchajanya, from the demon who had kidnapped the Guru's son and swallowed him after killing him, and then,then went back to Thy city sounding the conch Paanchajanya. Repeatedly thinking overwhelming love of the beautiful Gopikas Krishna sent his close friend Uddahava to them with a message.

There he stayed at Nanda's home. At night, Uddhava enquired about Nanda and Yashoda's wellbeing and about Vraj in general. Next day, when the Gopis got the news of Uddhava's arrival, they thronged in and around Nanda's residence. They recognized the chariot parked in front of the gate. It was the same chariot on which Krishna and Balarama had departed for Mathura. First they thought that their beloved Krishna had returned. But The Gopikas saw Uddhava donning charming clothes and ornaments similar to Krishna. They remembered Krishna again and again and his various deeds and sport in great detail and with their throats almost choked with emotion at the thought, they forgot their natural shyness and somehow managed to speak to Uddhava with faltering words.
Gopis said to him: "O gentleman, Is it that you are sent by the heartless Krishna to comfort his parents ? Where is he? The beloved of the city beauties? O Lord O Hari! Protect us. Alas which one of us women can forget the embrace of the nectarine form, the kisses of intense love and the frolicsome words of the beloved one? The Gopikas bemoaned their fate with such words of despair and were overwhelmed with grief. Uddhava comforted them with Krishna’smessage of deep spiritual import. They came to their normal selves and thereafter experienced his inner presence. Uddhava spent some days with the totally devoted Gopikas joyfully and happily narrating various incidents about Krishna.
The Gopikas always sang songs about Krishna. Everywhere while doing their household chores, they narrated Krishna ‘stales, amongst themselves. They even spoke about Krishna in their dreams.Their actions were mostly imitations of Krishna ‘s actions as they tried to personify Krishna .Everything that there, was permeated by Krishna’s presence. Observing all this that great devotee Uddhava was wonderstruck and left stunned.

Uddhava appreciated the extraordinary fortune of the gopis, who were relieved of all material pangs and anxieties by placing on their beautiful high breasts the lotus feet of Krishna which are worshiped not only by the goddess of fortune but by such exalted demigods as Brahma and Lord Siva, and which great yogis meditate upon within their hearts. Thus Uddhava prayed to be constantly honored by the dust from the lotus feet of the gopis, whose chanting of Lord Krishna's transcendental pastimes has become celebrated all over the three worlds. 

 
Uddhava consoled and comforted those Gopikas and mitigated their grief with krishna’swords, such as : "I shall come back to you soon; only pressure of work has so fardelayed my coming, grieve not even while I am away, since memory of past association is strong and firm; very soon, with the attainment of Brahmananda, meeting or separation will become one and the same to you.

After living in Vrndavana for some time, Uddhava desired to go back to Krishna, and he begged permission to leave from Nanda Maharaja and Yasoda. He had a farewell meeting with the gopis, and, taking permission from them also, he mounted his chariot to start for Mathura.Krishna heart was filled with delight on seeing Uddhava back from Gokula. Uddhava joyfully exclaimed by the devotion of the Gopikas to Krishna Such devotion is neither seen nor heard of in the whole world. Of what use is the study of so many scriptures and the practices there in. And what is the use here of all penances. May there be salutations to the Gopikaas.'

On Thy command "You evil creature, get out of my way fast", that elephant, at the prompting of the mahout (who was cruel and was also irritated by Thy words), quickly caught hold of Thee. Releasing Thyself from its hold, as if it were child's play, As though in play Thou released Thyself and struck a blow on the elephant's bulging forehead which rivaled with the Gopikas' pot like breasts. Thou then hid between the elephant's legs for some time and then came out smiling sweetly.

To the sages who meditate, just as Thou seem to be in their grasp but suddenly elude them, so also Thou escaped even when Thou were in the grasp of the elephant, running away just when it seemed to catch hold of Thee. Thou then playfully threw him on the ground. As he again rushed towards Thee, Thou pulled out its tooth from the root of its tusk. From there emerged priceless large pearls which Thou gave to Thy friend asking him to get them made into a beautiful necklace and give it to Radhaa

Kansa asked for the drums to be stopped. Then the wicked one not knowing what to do ordered for Thy respected parents to be killed. O Omnipresent Lord! He also ordered that Thou be driven away to a remote place. Thou were very annoyed at his wicked words. Thou leaped with determination to the throne of Kansa to the highest balcony of his palace, like a Garuda ascends to the top of the mountain, and gripped him, the son of Ugrasena, though he was difficult to catch hold of because he resisted with brandishing a sword.

Narayaneeyam Dasakam: 75-- Kamsavadam ( Slaying Of Kamsa) Story


The Killing of the Elephant Kuvalayapida."
After taking Their baths and finishing all other morning duties, Krishna and Balarama could hear the beating of the kettledrums in the wrestling camp. They immediately prepared themselves to proceed to the spot to see the fun. When Krishna, and Balarama reached the gate of the wrestling camp, They saw a big elephant of the name Kuvalayapida being tended by the mahout. The mahout was deliberately blocking  their entrance by keeping the elephant in front of the gateway. Krishna could understand the purpose of the mahout, and He prepared Himself by tightening His dress before combating the elephant. He began to address the mahout in a very grave voice, as resounding as a cloud: "You miscreant caretaker, give way and let me pass through the gate. If you block my way, I shall send you and your elephant to the house of death personified."
At this the cruel and angry minded mahout prompted the elephant, who taking great speed caught Thee in its tusks. As though in play. Krishna then hid between the elephant's legs for sometime and then came out smiling sweetly. The elephant then moved before Krishna, like inevitable death. It rushed towards Him and tried to catch Him with its trunk, but Krishna, very dexterously moved behind the elephant. Being able to see only to the end of its nose, the elephant could not see Krishna hiding behind its legs, but it tried to capture Him with its trunk. Krishna again very quickly escaped capture, and He again ran behind the elephant and caught its tail. Holding the elephant by its tail, Krishna began to pull it, and with very great strength. . He then slipped away from the elephant's view and ran to its back. Then, falling down on the ground, Krishna placed Himself in front of the elephant's two legs and caused it to trip and fall. Krishna immediately caught hold of the trunk and pulled the elephant down. When the elephant and caretaker fell, Krissna jumped up on the elephant's back and broke it and killed the caretaker also. After killing the elephant, Krsna took an ivory tusk on His shoulder. From there emerged priceless large pearls which Krishna gave to his friend asking him to get them made into a beautiful necklace and give it to Radhaa.


Kamasavadam
The brothers entered the arena. The people were at once attracted by the divine glow on their faces. They werethrilled beyond measure that the elephant had been killed. Among themselves,they started talking about the deeds and glories of Balarama and Krishna. At last the trumpets sounded and the signal was given for the games to start. Chanura, the chief wrestler, approached Krishna and said, with utmost courtesy,"O Krishna and Balarama! Your fame as renowned wrestlers has reached the ears of our king, the great Kamsa. Therefore you have been invited to this wrestling match. We, who are the subjects of the king have to do his bidding and so werequest you to match your wrestling skill with ours."Now Krishna loved this sport, one which he had indulged in so often with the gopas, when they were out in the forests with their cows. But he answered, "We,who live in the forests are also the subjects of the King of Bhoja. We  too, must do his bidding. But we will wrestle with our equals, that there may be no sense of injustice or foul play."
Chanura replied with great cunning, "Neither you nor your brother is young inexperience. You killed an elephant just now, which had the strength of athousand elephants, as though you were at play. You should not, therefore,hesitate to wrestle with us. Measure your strength with mine and let Balaramatackle Mustika."
The brothers accepted the challenge. Soon, they were locked in fight with the two mighty wrestlers. People grew afraid to watch the supple young bodies of the boys in the grip of the strong-muscled bodies of the seasoned wrestlers, glistening with oil and sweat. They protested that the fight was unequal and cried out to put a stop to it. Krishna now thought that he had dallied enough. He started hitting his opponent hard with his hands, feet and knees. Chanura could not take the deadly blows and fainted a number of times. With a last spurt, he rose and struck. Krishna on the chest with the double force of both fists. Krishna received the blow as an elephant receives a flower garland. Then he caught Chanura by the arms and whirling him round and round, dashed him to the ground with such immense force that he did not even have the opportunity to draw his last breath! His body, mangled, lay in the dust, motionless in death. Similarly, Balarama killed Mustika and he too, lay still with streams of blood pouring forth from his mouth. Then he killed Kuta with his fist and Krishna killed Sala with merely akick of His foot. All the other wrestlers fled from the arena in great terror.
Krishna Balarama danced joyfully as they used to in Vrindavana. They were soon joined by the gopas with their tinkling bells making sweet dance music. The trumpets sounded and the crowds rose from their seats crying, "Well done!""Bravo!" "Bravo!"Kamsa fumed and seethed with rage. His eyes were red with anger and his body trembled violently with the force of uncontrolled emotions. He ordered the trumpets to be silenced, and shouted, "Drive those two boys out of Mathura. Takeaway all the possessions of those vile gopas. Seize this Nanda and put him in chains. Kill the wicked Vasudeva and my father Ugrasena! Kill!! Kill!!"
But before he could even finish giving his orders, Krishna jumped onto hisplatform. Kamsa immediately drew forth his sword. But Krishna caught hold ofKamsa by his hair from which the royal crown had tumbled down. He swung himaround and threw him down into the arena, still and quite dead. Then he dragged the tyrant all around the arena so that everybody could see him. But in spite ofhis disgraceful end, Kamsa was rewarded in his last moment with a blissfulvision of the Lord in all His divine splendour. For Kamsa, although in anegative way, with constant fear and dread in his heart, had never spent even a single moment without thinking about Him!
Kamsa's eight brothers felt the insult done to their brother. They attacked Krishna and Balarama to avenge Kamsa's death. But they too, were soon overpowered and killed. Kamsa's many wives were inconsolable with grief. But Krishna consoled them and gave them solace. Krishna and Balarama then hastened to Vasudeva and Devaki and released them from their iron chains and fetters: They prostrated before them and touched their feet in salutation. Krishna also released Ugrasena, who was languishing in a dungeon where he had been thrown by his own son, Kamsa, in his impatience to get his throne.
