Dasakam 62 Worship of Govardhana mountain

(Lord Krishna stops an annual worship of Indra by the cowherds. He tells them that they ought to worship The Govardhana mountain which provides food for them as well as the cows and also the Brahmins who bless them. They agree to the proposal and carry out the wishes of Lord Krishna. This angers Devendra.)

Dasakam: 062 -- Slokam: 01

कदाचिद्गोपालान् विहितमखसम्भारविभवान्
निरीक्ष्य त्वं शौरे मघवमदमुद्ध्वंसितुमना: ।
विजानन्नप्येतान् विनयमृदु नन्दादिपशुपा-
नपृच्छ: को वाऽयं जनक भवतामुद्यम इति ॥१॥

Oh God who was born in the clan of Surasena,
Once you saw the Gopas collecting things to perform a Yaga,
And deciding to put an end to the pride of Indra,
In spite of knowing all about it asked Nanda and others,
“Oh father , What you all preparing for? 62.1

Dasakam: 062 -- Slokam: 02

बभाषे नन्दस्त्वां सुत ननु विधेयो मघवतो
मखो वर्षे वर्षे सुखयति स वर्षेण पृथिवीम् ।
नृणां वर्षायत्तं निखिलमुपजीव्यं महितले
विशेषादस्माकं तृणसलिलजीवा हि पशव: ॥२॥

Then Nanda gopa told you , “Son, We do a Yaga to please Indra every year,
So that Indra will, bless us with comfort of copious rains,
For humans depend on rain for all their requirements ,
And specially for us you know cows grow up with water and grass.” 62.2 

Dasakam: 062 -- Slokam: 03

महारण्ये वृक्षा: किमिव बलिमिन्द्राय ददते ॥३॥

Oh God , hearing these words of your father , you told him sweetly,
“ No , I do not agree that Indra is responsible for the rain,
For it is the good deeds of beings that is responsible for rain,
And what sacrifice do great trees in the forest give to Indra?” 62.3

Dasakam: 062 -- Slokam: 04
 इदं तावत् सत्यं यदिह पशवो न: कुलधनं

You again told those very good people ,” The fact that cows,
Are the great wealth of our clan is no doubt true,
And I think that it is apt to give this sacrifice ,
To the mountain which provides food for these cows,
And to the Brahmins who are greater than devas in this earth,
Who definitely rightly deserve our worship.” 62.4

Those cowherds heeding to your opinion , offered worship,
To the Brahmins with more care and devotion,
And performed a very great sacrifice to please the mountain,
And also went round the mountain and offered salutations to it.
And you yourself became the God of the mountain and blessed them. 62.5

Dasakam: 062 -- Slokam: 06

You also told them, “Do you think that what I told you is a lie?
Did you not see the Mountain personally receiving the sacrifice,
And I am sure that even if Indra becomes angry with us,
This mountain will protect us” and hearing your words,
All the people of the entire Gokula became happy. 62.6

As soon as the very much satisfied people of Gokula,
Returned along with you to Gokula,
Indra knowing that the sacrifice addressed to him has been stopped,
Though he knew about you and was occupying high position given by you,
Due to the Rajas quality in him , was not able to bear the stoppage. 62.7

He thought, “This Vishnu when he was born as a human being,
Due to his showing disrespect to devas, had sullied their honour,
And so I shall take revenge against this cowherd boy,”
And that proud Indra made preparations to win over you. 62.8

Indra with an aim to destroy Gokula where you stayed,
Sent the clouds of deluge to the sky and he himself,
Climbed on Iravatha his divine elephant steed,
While the guardians of directions like fire and wind laughed at him,
And Oh Lord of Guruvayur , who is there who is not bewitched,
By your illusion , for all the world obeys your words. 62.9

You consoled the cowherds by the words,
“ we need not be upset by the rage of Devendra,
Because we have the blessings of Brahmins,
And the mercy shown by Govardhana towards us,”
And were impatiently waiting for Devendra to act,
Oh Lord of Guruvayur, killer of the ogre Mura,
Please cure me from my illnesses completely. 62.10
