One should always serve Krishna in His glorious arca form, honoring Him with devotion and reverence. The wise, while engaging in such worship, remain detached from the body, home, and all worldly attachments, understanding their temporary nature. By the power of Hari’s holy name, one should avoid criticizing the Vedas and shun all sinful actions. The name of Hari is so potent that it should be shared even with the lazy and the non-believers, instructing all in its greatness. O child, all terrible faults must be abandoned completely and from a distance, for only then does the true path open. He alone, Krishna, will always protect, thinking, “He will do it for me,” and the devotee, in turn, thinks, “I am Krishna’s beloved; you two alone are my refuge.” Such thoughts are always to be contemplated by the great souls, O best of sages, for they anchor the heart in devotion. Recall the sweet pastimes of Krishna: grazing the cows with His friends, and the destruction of demons who threatened the peace of Vraja. Remember also Rādhikā and her virtuous companions, said to be thirty-two in number, each a youthful maiden endowed with beauty and youth, adorned with her own ornaments. She is deeply satisfied by the joy and delight of selfless service. One should serve her accordingly, attending to her at the proper times, for this is the prescribed means for those who have taken refuge, O lord of sages. Then you, O Nārada, again questioned Sadāśiva, seeking deeper understanding. Meditating in the beautiful groves of Vṛndāvana, at the banks of the Yamunā, one should recite the thousand names called ‘Yugala,’ O great sage, for they are sanctifying and powerful. Among these names are those that sing Krishna’s glories: the elder of the mace, the deluder and bewilderer of Kaṃsa and his servants; praised by His mother and meditated upon by Śiva Himself; the one who split the waters of the Yamunā. He is the child of divine play, lotus-eyed, the delight of Gokula, the Lord. He is the destroyer of Baka’s life, Viṣṇu, giver of liberation to Baka, and Hari Himself. He is Padmanābha, Hṛṣīkeśa, the playful younger boy; son of Yaśodā and beloved of all, served by multitudes of sages. He is the Lord of Lakṣmī, chief of the Yadus, slayer of Mura, and destroyer of Madhu. He performed great pastimes in Bṛhadvana, is the son of Nanda, and sits upon a great seat of honor. His face is the three worlds; He is lotus-eyed and lotus-handed, the bringer of delight. He is the overseer of all beings, the overseer of Shiva, the overseer of Dharma, the great Lord. He holds the hands of the gopis and is greatly beloved by the cowherd boys. He delights in the courtyards of the gopis’ homes, is auspicious, and is praised in noble verses. He is surrounded by children and monkeys, wide-eyed and sometimes fleeing in playful mischief. He is Damodara, whose nature is immeasurable, compassionate, and affectionate to His devotees. He breaks trees, dispels sorrow, and liberates the son of the wealth-giver. He creates tumult in Vraja and increases the joy of its people. He tends the calves, is the lord of calves, and is the ornament of the wives of cowherds. He wears yellow garments, a golden garland, and is adorned with jewels and pearls. He destroys the chief of the calf-demons and annihilates the demon Baka. He is the primordial one, the giver of Himself, a constant companion, who dines on the banks of the Yamunā. He eats food placed in His palm and enjoys branches bearing condiments. He wears a crown of peacock feathers and is adorned with a garland of forest flowers. His beauty surpasses millions of Cupids, and He shines with makara earrings. Thus, the wise meditate upon these names and pastimes of Krishna, finding in them the path of devotion, the shelter of the soul, and the highest joy.
