"Naaraayan, Naaraayan" always chanting,

With his veenaa always singing,

Naarad entered Vishnu's abode

Vaikuntha. Praise bestowed,

"Jay Naaraayan" he exclaimed,

"O the Smiling One, blamed

You are for inaction in Dharitree - the holder Earth -

Even by the greats, to whom You give birth.

Unbearable to hear words maligning

On You, I could not stop

But come to You. Tears drop

In the worlds You create,

Jeevkul - the living beings - are surrendering to fate.

Faith is loosening, can't anything be done?"

Thus spake His favorite son.

Vishnu, quiet, smiled a little.

A voice arose, "Brittle

World is falling apart,

A poor ruler as thou art."

"Who says?" Naarad's stare

Brought forth a demi-god fair,

Handsome, strong, with piercing eyes

No-nonsense, that capsize

Easily any average being,

Making him surrender in just seeing.

"Sudarshan Chakra - the discus - I am,

Harbinger of death to people sham.

I help Vishnu to finely cut through

All ignorance, who sins accrue.

Pranaam Naarad Muni-var - the great.

With me the worlds would have a different fate.

Ruler needs an iron hand

Making sin forever banned.

Shree Vishnu! You are too complacent,

Your ways of act are too ancient.

In fact, it is I, in whose power

People's praise on You shower.

Come to think of it, who are You without me?

Enforcing my power, You establish decree.

True, I am a part of You,

But the most important avenue

Am I that makes You the world run.

Now all are undone

By Your modest approach.

People are beginning to broach

Questioning Your authority.

You sidelined my power, that's a pity."

"Killing", saith Vishnu, "is not the aim,

One has to come out of this birth-death game.

Even if one dies, his karma stays

With his Aatmaa, moves always.

Even after pralay, it stays in fine body,

Infinitely small, embody

To his past karma, emotions, level

That you reached. It's travel

Rebegins with Srishti - Creation - anew.

So nobody dies, really, in grandest view.

In My world nobody's death-sentenced,

Everybody here is unlicensed.

People go by sense, or learn by mistake,

Should put their heart full at stake,

To perform most. And then I

Destroy hindrance that stand fie

To reach Me the quickest way

Blowing up all dismay.

No karma stays, he is one with Me,

Forever immortal, full of glee.

Know, even the sinner greatest

Joins one day in the divine fest.

But if power destructive takes over

Ferocious I act as blower,

Ensure positivism, constructiveness;

Dharma prevails with consciousness.

If no sin, no virtue either,

No godliness in world bitter.

That's why I require to be careful

To ensure jeevs are not uprooted from the mool -

Root, - connection - yog - stays,

People remember Me always.

There is one law, which forever prevails-

The Sanaatan Dharma, another excels

Appropriate for the age only,

Reflecting the Sanaatanee boldly.

You say you are My power, do you?

Part and difference you not knew.

From Purna - the complete - anything taken

Leaves Purna unaffected, unbroken.

From Purna if Purna deducted

Still Purna remains uncorrupted.

Let's take a challenge, you go to earth,

As a king take your birth.

I will follow, without any weapon

But I will acquire anything I leap on

Except you, my Chakra dear.

You can use mortal killers- sword, spear

Or any shastra - weapon - celestial,

But we'll go naked initial."

"Agreed" said Sudarshan. "One heck of a fight

It will be, let's test our might."

"Om Naarayan, Om Naarayan", Naarad, perplexed,

 Exclaimed utterly as the divinities flexed

Their muscles, "You have unique ways

To hit hard adharma, ablaze

It in no uncertain term,

From place unguessable, out You come."

He unrevealed himself. Avijit sings

The song of God, the joy that brings

Happiness, in world unknown,

That purifies all dark sins grown.
