This work is acclaimed by scholars as a stotrakavya, a superb outpouring of devotion as well as a literary work of a very high order. It is a masterly condensation of Srimad Bhagavata, considered to be the greatest of all the Puranas. In addition to being a devotional work Srimannarayaniyam contains the gist of all the Upanishads and is therefore, a work of great significance from the Pedantic point of view also.This commentary in English by S N Sastri conveys to the reader the extraordinary poetic quality of the work and brings out the Vedantic import of the verses in an elaborate and lucid manner. Pujya Gurudev Swami Chinmayananda has said in his Foreword to the first edition of this commentary-I am sure the reader will enjoy many flights at superhuman heights in the journey through Sastri’s exposition of immortal Narayaneeyam.ContentsFOREWORD BY H H SWAMI CHINMAYANANDA INTRODUCTIONTRANSLITERATION TABLEDASAKAThe glory of the LordThe form of the LordThe qualities of the perfect devoteeYoga and its attainmentCosmic EvolutionThe Cosmos as the form of the LordBrahma’s origin and penanceDescription of pralayaDescription of creationThe variety of creationEntry of Sanaka and others into VaikuntahThe Boar IncarnationThe slaying of HiranyaksaThe Kapila IncarnationThe teaching of KapilaNara Narayana and DaksayagaThe story of DhruvaThe story of PrthuThe story of PracetasThe story of RsabhayogisvaraMode of worship in Jambudvipa, etcThe story of AjamilaThe stories of Daksa, Citraketu, etcThe story of PrahladaThe Incarnation as NarasimhaThe liberation of GajendraThe churning of the Milk OceanThe churning of the ocean (contd)The Mohini incarnationThe humbling of BaliThe Fish incarnationThe story of AmbarisaThe Incarnation as Sri RamaThe Incarnation as ParasuramaThe Prelude to the Incarnation as KrsnaThe Birth of Sri KrsnaBringing Yogamaya from Gokulam, etcThe salvation of PutanaThe cremation of Putaba, etcThe slaying of SakatasuraThe slaying of TrnavartaDesctiption of the naming ceremony, etcKrsna’s Childhood pranksRevelation of the Cosmic Form Tying Krshna to the mortarThe Redemption of Nalakubarana dn ManigrivaJourney to VrndavanaSlaying of Vatsasura and BakasuraThe slaying of AghasuraThe stealing of the calves by BrahmaThe slaying of DhenukasuraThe Reason for Kaliya coming to the YamunaKrsna’s dance on KaliyaThe lord Blesses KaliyaThe slaying of PralambasuraRescue from forest fireKrsna playing the fluteStealing the clothes of the GopikasBlessing the wives of the performers of Vedic sacrificesThe blocking of the sacrifice to Indra Holding up the Govardhana mountainCrowing as GivndaThe Gopikas coming to KrsnaDelighting the gopikasDisappearance of the Lord, etcThe Gopikas in the Lord’s companyRasakridaThe salvation of Sudarsana, etc.The slaying of Kesi nd VyomasuraAkrura’s journey to GokulaThe Lord leaving for MathuraThe entry of the Lord into MathuraThe slaying of KamsaUddhava sent as messenger to the gopikasThe fight with Jarasandha and othersThe Lord’s stay in DwarakaThe wedding of RukminiThe story of the Syamntaka jewelThe slaying of NaraksauraThe fight with Bana, etcThe slaying of PaundrakaPilgimage of SamantapancakaThe slaying of JarasandhaSlaying of Salva, etcThe Kucela episodeThe episode of SantanagopalamThe slaying of VrkasuraThe aim of all the scripturesThe path of DevotionBhakti combined with KarmaThe lesion from 25 GurusThe means of enlightenmentThe means of liberationThe glories of the LordPrayer for Supreme DevotionMeditation on Nirguna Brahman Praise of the glory of the LordDescription of the Vision of the Lord Show more
