Sri Krsna to Uddhava - On the means



Madanmohan das - Sat, 17 Dec 2005 00:16:02 +0530
Just came accross this profound teaching from the Uddhava Gita.

stavairuccAvacaih stotraih
paurANaih prAkRtairapi/
stutvA prasIda bhagavann-
iti vandeta daNDavat//


Then he should loudly sing hymns
composed by the ancients, as also
compositions ( of latter day saints )
in the language of the common man,
and fall flat like a stick in prostration
crying out; " O lord! be gracious to me.


Bhag. 11/27/45. addapted from Swami Tapasyananda's translation.

I suppose the prAkRtaih api means even in the common tongue.
