ਬਿਸਨੁ ਜੂ ਬਾਚ ਭ੍ਰਿਗੁ ਸੋ ॥

Speech of Vishnu addressed to Bhrigu:

SWAYYA

Enduring the blow of the leg smilingly, Vishnu said to the Brahmin, “My heart is (hard) like Vajra and your foot might have been hurt

“I ask for a boon from you, kindly forgive me for the crime and bestow on me this boon

“Whenever I incarnate in the world, then the marks of your foot may remain imprinted on my waist.”2461.

When Krishna said this, the sage felt extreme delight

He came back to his hermitage after bowing before him,

And the secret of Rudra, Brahma and Vishnu he brought home to everyone

And said that Krishna was in reality the Lord (God), we should all remember him.”2462.

When Bhrigu on returning related all the episode to all of them then all o

F them meditated on Krishna and found that Krishna and found that Krishna was the ocean of infinite mercy and even the Vedas could not describe Him

Rudra keeps sitting with the rosary of skulls around his neck and making an ostentation

We shall not remember him and only remember Lord Krishna.2463.

When Bhrigu, on coming back brought home this point to everyone, then all of them remembered Krishna

Just as the ghosts and friends are considered unwelcome in Yajna, in the same way, Rudra was established,

And it was also settled that by remembering Brahma, none will be able to realise him, therefore only meditate on Brahma and do not remember all the remaining ones.2464.
