Utthāna Ceremony, Śakaṭa-bhañga, Tṛṇāvarta-vadha, and the Vision of the Universe in Kṛṣṇa’s Mouth
श्रीराजोवाच येन येनावतारेण भगवान् हरिरीश्वर: । करोति कर्णरम्याणि मनोज्ञानि च न: प्रभो ॥ १ ॥ यच्छृण्वतोऽपैत्यरतिर्वितृष्णा सत्त्वं च शुद्ध्यत्यचिरेण पुंस: । भक्तिर्हरौ तत्पुरुषे च सख्यं तदेव हारं वद मन्यसे चेत् ॥ २ ॥
śrī-rājovāca yena yenāvatāreṇa bhagavān harir īśvaraḥ karoti karṇa-ramyāṇi mano-jñāni ca naḥ prabho
帕利克希特王说道:尊者舒迦提婆啊,至上人格神薄伽梵·哈利在诸般化身中所示现的种种戏游,悦耳悦心。仅仅聆听,心中垢染即刻消散,对世俗闻见的执著渐息,心性迅速清净,并生起对哈利的奉爱(bhakti)以及与奉献者(bhakta)的友爱。若你认为适宜,请慈悲宣说主的这些戏游。
As stated in the Prema-vivarta:
This verse says that by hearing the Lord’s incarnations and pastimes, boredom and worldly craving go away, the heart becomes quickly purified, devotion to Hari awakens, and affection/friendship for His devotees arises.
Facing imminent death, Parīkṣit sought the most beneficial spiritual practice; he recognizes that hearing the Lord’s līlā is supremely purifying and bhakti-awakening, so he requests Śukadeva to speak that “best garland” of narration.
Make daily time to hear or read Bhagavatam narrations with attention, and keep company with devotees—this reduces restlessness and desire, strengthens inner clarity, and naturally builds devotion and supportive spiritual friendships.
