Adhyaya 19

PP.7.19 opens with Vyāsa declaring that those who take refuge in Nārāyaṇa never meet misfortune, and that Viṣṇu’s greatness should be spoken of only among Vaiṣṇavas. It then offers an exemplar: Urvīśu, a habitual sinner cast out by his family, becomes a bandit and later hears Vaiṣṇava brāhmaṇas on a riverbank discussing offerings (naivedya) to Hari. Remembering the sanctity of what is given to Murāri, Urvīśu refuses to eat the jaggery he had resolved to offer and instead gives it away. Janārdana removes his sins; though slain by townspeople, he is carried to Hari’s abode. A second account concerns the brāhmaṇa Sarvajani, who dreams of Keśava, praises Him with a repentant stotra, and receives Viṣṇu’s secret karmic explanation—liberation gained through accidental consumption of naivedya when he was a bird. The Lord also sets forth what pleases and angers Him, culminating in a stern warning against reviling Vaiṣṇavas and an exhortation to daily worship of Vāsudeva.
