VYJAYANTI VIBHUSHANAM- वैजयन्थि विभूषणं

 SUBHASHITHANI:575

To-day  (21.8.22) happens to be Sri Jayanthi according to Pancharatra agama ( Rohini nakshatra ) and my best wishes to all my readers. On this auspicious occasion I thought it appropriate to look at some of the most beautiful slokas on Sri Krishna.

वन्दे वृन्दावन चरं वल्लवी जन वल्लभं,
जयन्थि संभवं धाम वैजयन्थि विभूषणं. 1

vande bṛndāvanacaram vallavī janavallabham |
jayantisambhavam dhāma vaijayantī vibhūshaṇam ||
I salute that divine effulgence named Gopala, who was born on this Sri Jayanthi day and roamed in the forests of Brindavanam wearing the unfading garland, known as Vaijayanti, made of wild flowers of the forest. This garland was his charactrestric decoration. He enchanted the gopis of Brindavanam. I salute this illustrious jyoti.( Gopala Vimsati-1)

करारविन्देन पदारविन्दं मुखारविन्दे विनिवेशयन्तम् ।
वटस्य पत्रस्य पुटे शयानं बालं मुकुन्दं मनसा स्मरामि ॥१॥

Kara-Aravindena Pada-Aravindam
Mukha-Aravinde Vi-Niveshay-Antam |
Vattasya Patrasya Pute Shayaanam

Baalam Mukundam Manasaa Smaraami ||1||
My Mind Remembers that Beautiful Bala Mukunda Who with His Lotus like Hands holds His Lotus like Feet, and Puts the Toe in His Lotus like Mouth, He Rests on the Fold of the Banyan Leaf (Vata),
My Mind Remembers that Beautiful Bala Mukunda.

नम: पुरस्तादथ पृष्ठतस्ते
नमोऽस्तु ते सर्वत एव सर्व |
अनन्तवीर्यामितविक्रमस्त्वं
सर्वं समाप्नोषि ततोऽसि सर्व: ||BG11.40||

namaḥ purastād atha pṛiṣhṭhatas te
namo ’stu te sarvata eva sarva
ananta-vīryāmita-vikramas tvaṁ
sarvaṁ samāpnoṣhi tato ’si sarvaḥ

O Lord of infinite power, my salutations to You from the front and the rear, indeed from all sides! You possess infinite valour and might and pervade everything, and thus, You are everything.

आदौ देवकिदेविगर्भजननं गोपीगृहे वर्धनम्
मायापूतनजीवितापहरणं गोवर्धनोद्धारणम् ।
कंसच्छेदनकौरवादिहननं कुंतीसुतां पालनम्
एतद्भागवतं पुराणकथितं श्रीकृष्णलीलामृतम् । Eka sloki Bhagavatham

In the beginning, the one born of the womb of goddess -like Devaki, in the house of cow-herd woman;  growing in the gopis house, Killing of deceptive Putana (who tried to kill Infant Krishna);  the lifting  of the mountain Govardhana;  the beheading of Kamsa and the annihilation of kauravas; protecting the sons of Kunti; this in short is the ‘Bhagavatha Puranam’, the nectar-like story of the sport of Sri Krishna.

कृष्णो रक्षतु नो जगत्त्रयगुरुः कृष्णं नमध्वं सदा
कृष्णेनाखिलशत्रवो विनिहताः कृष्णाय तस्मै नमः ।
कृष्णादेव समुत्थितं जगदिदं कृष्णस्य दासोऽस्म्यहं
कृष्णे तिष्ठति विश्वमेतद् अखिलं हे! कृष्ण रक्षस्व माम् ॥ ३३॥Muknda mala

kṛṣṇō rakṣatu nō jagattrayaguruḥ kṛṣṇaṃ namasyāmyahaṃ
kṛṣṇēnāmaraśatravō vinihatāḥ kṛṣṇāya tasmai namaḥ ।
kṛṣṇādēva samutthitaṃ jagadidaṃ kṛṣṇasya dāsō'smyahaṃ
kṛṣṇē tiṣṭhati sarvamētadakhilaṃ hē kṛṣṇa rakṣasva mām ॥ 33 ॥

May Krishna, the spiritual master of the three worlds, protect us.
Continually bow down to Krishna, Krishna has killed all our enemies.
Obeisance to Krishna. From Krishna alone this world has come into being.

I am the servant of Krishna. This entire universe rests within Krishna. O
Krishna, please protect me!
