"In these days of cheap incarnations, it is very interesting to note the bodily symptoms found in an incarnation. From the very beginning of His birth, it was observed that Ṛṣabhadeva's feet were marked with the transcendental signs (a flag, thunderbolt, lotus flower, etc.). In addition to this, as the Lord began to grow, He became very prominent. He was equal to everyone. He did not favor one person and neglect another. An incarnation of God must have the six opulences—wealth, strength, knowledge, beauty, fame and renunciation. It is said that although Ṛṣabhadeva was endowed with all opulences, He was not at all attached to material enjoyment. He was self-controlled and therefore liked by everyone. Due to His superexcellent qualities, everyone wanted Him to rule the earth. An incarnation of God has to be accepted by experienced people and by the symptoms described in the <i>śāstras.</i> An incarnation is not accepted simply by the adulation of foolish people."

"We find the word <i>bhagavān</i> used twice in this verse. Both King Indra and Ṛṣabhadeva, the incarnation of the Supreme Lord, are described as <i>bhagavān.</i> Sometimes Nārada and Lord Brahmā are also addressed as <i>bhagavān.</i> The word <i>bhagavān</i> means that one is a very opulent and powerful person like Lord Brahmā, Lord Śiva, Nārada or Indra. They are all addressed as <i>bhagavān</i> due to their extraordinary opulence. King Ṛṣabhadeva is an incarnation of the Supreme Lord, and therefore He was the original Bhagavān. Consequently He is described herein as <i>yogeśvara,</i> which indicates that He has the most powerful spiritual potency. He is not dependent on King Indra for water. He can supply water Himself, and He did so in this case. In <i>Bhagavad-gītā,</i> it is stated: <i>yajñād bhavati parjanyaḥ.</i> Due to the performance of <i>yajña,</i> clouds of water are manifest in the sky. Clouds and rainfall are under the management of Indra, the heavenly King, but when Indra is neglectful, the Supreme Lord Himself, who is also known as <i>yajña</i> or <i>yajña-pati,</i> takes the task upon Himself. Consequently there was sufficient rainfall in the place named Ajanābha. When <i>yajña-pati</i> wants to, He can do anything without the help of any subordinate. Therefore the Supreme Lord is known as almighty. In the present age of Kali there will eventually be a great scarcity of water (<i>anāvṛṣṭi</i>), for the general populace, due to ignorance and the scarcity of yajñic ingredients, will neglect to perform <i>yajñas.</i> <i>Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam</i> therefore advises: <i>yajñaiḥ saṅkīrtana-prāyaiḥ yajanti hi sumedhasaḥ.</i> After all, <i>yajña</i> is meant to satisfy the Supreme Personality of Godhead. In this age of Kali, there is great scarcity and ignorance; nonetheless, everyone can perform <i>saṅkīrtana-yajña.</i> Every family in every society can conduct <i>saṅkīrtana-yajña</i> at least every evening. In this way there will be no disturbance or scarcity of rain. It is essential for the people in this age to perform the <i>saṅkīrtana-yajña</i> in order to be materially happy and to advance spiritually."

"The word <i>māyā</i> is used in the sense of illusion. Considering the Supreme Personality of Godhead to be his own son, Mahārāja Nābhi was certainly in illusion, but this was transcendental illusion. This illusion is required; otherwise how can one accept the supreme father as his own son? The Supreme Lord appears as the son of one of His devotees, just as Lord Kṛṣṇa appeared as the son of Yaśodā and Nanda Mahārāja. These devotees could never think of their son as the Supreme Personality of Godhead, for such appreciation would hamper their relationship of paternal love."

To do this, he entrusted Him into the hands of learned brāhmaṇas, who would guide Him in administrating the government. Then Mahārāja Nābhi and his wife, Merudevī, went to Badarikāśrama in the Himalaya Mountains, where the King engaged Himself very expertly in austerities and penances with great jubilation. In full samādhi he worshiped the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Nara-Nārāyaṇa, who is Kṛṣṇa in His plenary expansion.

"When Mahārāja Nābhi saw that his son Ṛṣabhadeva was popular with the general populace and the governmental servants, he chose to install Him on the imperial throne. In addition, he wanted to entrust his son into the hands of the learned <i>brāhmaṇas.</i> This means that a monarch was supposed to govern strictly according to Vedic principles under the guidance of learned <i>brāhmaṇas,</i> who could advise Him according to the standard Vedic scriptures like <i>Manu-smṛti</i> and similar <i>śāstras.</i> It is the duty of the king to rule the citizens according to Vedic principles. According to Vedic principles, society is divided into four categories—<i>brāhmaṇa, kṣatriya, vaiśya</i> and <i>śūdra.</i> <i>Cātur-varṇyaṁ mayā sṛṣṭaṁ guṇa-karma-vibhāgaśaḥ.</i> After dividing society in this way, it is the king's duty to see that everyone executes Vedic principles according to his caste. A <i>brāhmaṇa</i> must perform the duty of a <i>brāhmaṇa</i> without cheating the public. It is not that one attains the name of a <i>brāhmaṇa</i> without the qualifications. It is the king's duty to see that everyone engages in his occupational duty according to Vedic principles. In addition, retirement at the end of life is compulsory. Mahārāja Nābhi, although still a king, retired from family life and went with his wife to a place called Badarikāśrama in the Himalayas, where the Deity Nara-Nārāyaṇa is worshiped. The words <i>prasanna-nipuṇena tapasā</i> indicate that the King accepted all kinds of austerity very expertly and jubilantly. He did not at all mind leaving his comfortable life at home, although he was the emperor. Despite undergoing severe austerities and penances, he felt very pleased at Badarikāśrama, and he did everything there expertly. In this way, being fully absorbed in Kṛṣṇa consciousness (<i>samādhi-yoga</i>), always thinking of Kṛṣṇa, Vāsudeva, Mahārāja Nābhi attained success at the end of his life and was promoted to the spiritual world, Vaikuṇṭhaloka.",
|

"This is the way of Vedic life. One must stop the process of repeated birth and death and return home, back to Godhead. The words <i>tan-mahimānam avāpa</i> are significant in this regard. Śrīla Śrīdhara Svāmī says that <i>mahimā</i> means liberation in this life. We should act in such a way in this life that after giving up this body, we will become liberated from the bondage of repeated birth and death. This is called <i>jīvan-mukti.</i> Śrīla Vīrarāghava Ācārya states that in the <i>Chāndogya Upaniṣad</i> there are eight symptoms of a <i>jīvan-mukta,</i> a person who is already liberated even when living in this body. The first symptom of one so liberated is that he is freed from all sinful activity (<i>apahata-pāpa</i>). As long as one is under the clutches of <i>māyā</i> in the material energy, one has to engage in sinful activity. <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> describes such people as <i>duṣkṛtinaḥ,</i> which indicates that they are always engaged in sinful activity. One who is liberated in this life does not commit any sinful activities. Sinful activity involves illicit sex, meat-eating, intoxication and gambling. Another symptom of a liberated person is <i>vijara,</i> which indicates that he is not subjected to the miseries of old age. Another symptom is <i>vimṛtyu.</i> A liberated person prepares himself in such a way that he does not take on any more material bodies, which are destined to die. In other words, he does not fall down again to repeat birth and death. Another symptom is <i>viśoka,</i> which indicates that he is callous to material distress and happiness. Another is <i>vijighatsa,</i> which indicates that he no longer desires material enjoyment. Another symptom is <i>apipātā,</i> which means that he has no desire other than to engage in the devotional service of Kṛṣṇa, his dearmost pursuable Lord. A further symptom is <i>satya-kāma,</i> which indicates that all his desires are directed to the Supreme Truth, Kṛṣṇa. He does not want anything else. He is <i>satya-saṅkalpa.</i> Whatever he desires is fulfilled by the grace of Kṛṣṇa. First of all, he does not desire anything for his material benefit, and secondly if he desires anything at all, he simply desires to serve the Supreme Lord. That desire is fulfilled by the Lord's grace. That is called <i>satya-saṅkalpa.</i> Śrīla Viśvanātha Cakravartī points out that the word <i>mahimā</i> means returning to the spiritual world, back home, back to Vaikuṇṭha. Śrī Śukadeva says that the word <i>mahimā</i> means that the devotee attains the qualities of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. This is called <i>sadharma,</i> or \"the same quality.\" Just as Kṛṣṇa is never born and never dies, His devotees who return to Godhead never die and never take birth within the material world."

Therefore by their spiritual powers they could call on the Supreme Personality of Godhead and enable their disciple, Mahārāja Nābhi, to see the Lord face to face.

"Being an incarnation of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Ṛṣabhadeva had nothing to do with material affairs. As stated in <i>Bhagavad-gītā,</i> <i>paritrāṇāya sādhūnāṁ vināśāya ca duṣkṛtām:</i> the purpose of an incarnation is to liberate His devotees and to stop the demoniac activities of nondevotees. These are the two functions of the Supreme Lord when He incarnates. Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu has said that in order to preach, one must live a practical life and show people how to do things. <i>Āpani ācari' bhakti śikhāimu sabāre.</i> One cannot teach others unless he behaves the same way himself. Ṛṣabhadeva was an ideal king, and He took His education in the <i>gurukula,</i> although He was already educated because the Supreme Lord is omniscient. Although Ṛṣabhadeva had nothing to learn from <i>gurukula,</i> He went there just to teach the people in general how to take an education from the right source, from Vedic teachers. He then entered householder life and lived according to the principles of Vedic knowledge—<i>śruti</i> and <i>smṛti.</i> In his <i>Bhakti-rasāmṛta-sindhu</i> (1.2.101) Śrīla Rūpa Gosvāmī, quoting the <i>Skanda Purāṇa,</i> states:",
|
||||
"<i>śruti-smṛti-purāṇādi-<br/> pañcarātra-vidhiṁ vinā<br/> aikāntikī harer bhaktir<br/> utpātāyaiva kalpate</i>",
|
||||
"Human society must follow the instructions received from <i>śruti</i> and <i>smṛti,</i> Vedic literature. Practically applied in life this is worship of the Supreme Personality of Godhead according to the <i>pāñcarātrika-vidhi.</i> Every human being must advance his spiritual life and at the end return home, back to Godhead. Mahārāja Ṛṣabhadeva strictly followed all these principles. He remained an ideal <i>gṛhastha</i> and taught His sons how to become perfect in spiritual life. These are some examples of how He ruled the earth and completed His mission as an incarnation."

"From this verse we have good information of how the castes are qualified according to quality and work.

Nine sons became good preachers of <i>Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam</i> (<i>mahā-bhāgavatas</i>), and this indicates that they were above the position of <i>brāhmaṇas.</i> The other eighty-one sons became highly qualified <i>brāhmaṇas.</i> These are some practical examples of how one can become fit for a certain type of activity by qualification, not by birth. All the sons of Mahārāja Ṛṣabhadeva were <i>kṣatriyas</i> by birth, but by quality some of them became <i>kṣatriyas,</i> and some became <i>brāhmaṇas.</i> Nine became preachers of <i>Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam</i> (<i>bhāgavata-dharma-darśanāḥ</i>), which means that they were above the categories of <i>kṣatriya</i> and <i>brāhmaṇa.</i>"

Therefore He strictly followed the principles of varṇāśrama-dharma and acted accordingly. In due course of time, the principles of varṇāśrama-dharma had become neglected; therefore through His personal characteristics and behavior, He taught the ignorant public how to perform duties within the varṇāśrama-dharma. In this way He regulated the general populace in householder life, enabling them to develop religion and economic well-being and to attain reputations, sons and daughters, material pleasure and finally eternal life.

The <i>varṇāśrama-dharma</i> enables human society to become perfectly fit for getting out of the clutches of <i>māyā,</i> and by following the regulative principles of <i>varṇāśrama-dharma,</i> one can become successful.

"A similar verse is also found in <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> (3.21). It is essential for human society to have a section of men perfectly trained as qualified <i>brāhmaṇas</i> according to the instructions of Vedic knowledge. Those below the brahminical qualification—administrators, merchants and workers—should take instructions from those ideal people who are considered to be intellectuals. In this way, everyone can be elevated to the highest transcendental position and be freed from material attachment. The material world is described by Lord Kṛṣṇa Himself as <i>duḥkhālayam aśāśvatam,</i> a temporary place of misery. No one can stay here, even if he makes a compromise with misery. One has to give up this body and accept another, which may not even be a human body. As soon as one gets a material body, he becomes <i>deha-bhṛt,</i> or <i>dehī.</i> In other words, he is subjected to all the material conditions. The leaders of society must be so ideal that by following them one can be relieved from the clutches of material existence."

"It is said, <i>kaumāra ācaret prājño dharmān bhāgavatān iha</i> (<i>Bhāg. </i>7.6.1). A ritual should be performed by young men, even boys, at a tender age in order for the ritual to be performed successfully. From childhood, people should be trained in Vedic culture, especially in devotional service. In this way, one can perfect one's life. A Vaiṣṇava does not disrespect the demigods, but on the other hand he is not so foolish that he accepts each and every demigod as the Supreme Lord. The Supreme Lord is master of all demigods; therefore the demigods are His servants. The Vaiṣṇava accepts them as servants of the Supreme Lord, and he worships them directly. In the <i>Brahma-saṁhitā,</i> the important demigods—Lord Śiva, Lord Brahmā and even the incarnations and expansions of Lord Kṛṣṇa like Mahā-Viṣṇu, Garbhodakaśāyī Viṣṇu and all the other <i>viṣṇu-tattvas,</i> as well as the <i>śakti-tattvas</i> like Durgādevī—are all worshiped by the process of worshiping Govinda with the words <i>govindam ādi-puruṣaṁ tam ahaṁ bhajāmi.</i> A Vaiṣṇava worships the demigods in relation to Govinda, not independently. Vaiṣṇavas are not so foolish that they consider the demigods independent of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. This is confirmed in <i>Caitanya-caritāmṛta.</i> <i>Ekale īśvara kṛṣṇa, āra saba bhṛtya:</i> the supreme master is Kṛṣṇa, and all others are His servants."

"In Bengal the word <i>ghoḍā-ḍimba</i> is used, which means \"the egg of a horse.\" Since a horse never lays an egg, the word <i>ghoḍā-ḍimba</i> actually has no meaning. In Sanskrit there is a word <i>kha-puṣpa,</i> which means \"the flower in the sky.\" No flower grows in the sky; therefore no one is interested in asking for <i>kha-puṣpa</i> or <i>ghoḍā-ḍimba.</i> During the reign of Mahārāja Ṛṣabhadeva, people were so well equipped that they did not want to ask for anything. They were immensely supplied with all necessities for life due to King Ṛṣabhadeva's good government. Consequently everyone felt full satisfaction and did not want anything. This is the perfection of government. If the citizens are unhappy due to bad government, the heads of government are condemned. During these democratic days, monarchy is disliked by the people, but here is an example of how an emperor of the whole world kept all the citizens fully satisfied by supplying the necessities of life and following the Vedic principles. Thus everyone was happy during the reign of Mahārāja Ṛṣabhadeva, the Supreme Personality of Godhead."
