The occupational divisions four,

And ashramas advancement for.

For potential in spiritual life living.

Still victory not until reaching the end,

Through Krishna instantly to victory circle to send.

When of Lord thinking free from doubt.

From the bodily designation to come out.

Since having Truth’s realization their own.

First from their own teacher coming,

Not out of blue enlightened becoming.

Folly of sense gratification having seen,

Conscious of impending death, cruel and mean.

Only through their grace ignorance freeing.

Renounced, but giving duty priority.

Objective of valuable human life made clear.

Not just for afterlife sitting,

Benefits even before body quitting.

Understanding of birth and death presenting,

Neither for the living nor the dead lamenting.

Steadiness in pursuit going,

Eagerness to serve growing.

When spiritual life following real,

Bliss the ultimate purpose to feel.

Shri Krishna, how quintessential dharma can be?

Stealing butter, dancing with gopis does He.

Original Veda to world providing,

Then through Vyasadeva the same dividing.

Above always duality of world to stay,

As Shri Rama, ideal kingdom to display.

Service to Him meaning of dharma real,

Bhakti-yoga secret gradually to reveal.

Despite having immeasurable strength,

For pleasing devotees to go any length.

Sometimes losing at mock fighting,

Defending Satyabhama after flower sighting.

Rukmini away from marriage assembly taking,

Back to Dvaraka, His wedded wife making.

Whether liberation, all desires or having none,

Worship of Krishna to benefit each and every one.

With proper focus holy names to chant,

Then kama sway the individual it can’t.

Mahadeva in many ways victory earned,

Living renounced, by him Kamadeva burned.

On the glories of Shri Rama always speaking,

Despite marriage, attention on bhakti keeping.

Favor of Lord Himself reason most of all,

Same when on us Shiva’s blessings to fall.

Parvati of universe the mother,

Determined for Shiva, no other.

For austerities to the forest she went,

Listened not to dissuading messengers sent.

When of groom and attendants having a look,

Pity for the bride the family took.

Still glories of her husband knowing,

Couple the ideal married life showing.

“For face like yours to give,

For that offense I won’t forgive.

This curse I place upon you,

That without beloved will be you.

Just as my face you did make,

Help from monkeys you’ll have to take,”

This curse from Narada Shri Hari accepted,

Path for devotee by Him always protected.

Many lessons from Rukmini to learn,

Like how Shri Krishna’s favor to earn.

Vision of the Divine not required,

From hearing alone bhakti inspired.

Lord having affection for brahmanas respectable,

Rescuing souls with timing impeccable.

With respect towards demigods can behave,

Krishna or His representative coming to save.
