¹r¤ Mah¢prabhuj¤'s Bai°haka


This bai°haka is exactly opposite the Mukh¢ravinda. Once, while ¹r¤ Mah¢prabhuj¤ was sleeping with his head resting on the laps of D¢modarad¢saj¤, ¹r¤n¢thaj¤ came down from the Govardhana hill to meet ¹r¤ Mah¢prabhuj¤. D¢modarad¢saj¤ instantly stopped ¹r¤n¢thaj¤ from coming closer as the sweet sound of His anklets would disturb his gur¦'s sleep. With this D¢modarad¢saj¤ displayed the qualities of a true dedicated disciple.

Over here, ¹r¤ Mah¢prabhuj¤ had once, offered Annak¦°a to ¹r¤ Girir¢jaj¤.

All vai¾´av¢s fill jh¢r¤j¤, offer dhot¤, upara´¢ and s¢magar¤'s ( fresh fruits, dry fruits, d¦dhaghara) to ¹r¤ Mah¢prabhuj¤. Let us pay prostrate obeisance to him. Seek his permission and start the parikram¢.

From here we move on to the Da´²avat¤ ¹il¢.
