JADABHARATOPAKHYANA - XVI

(This is in continuation with the previous posting and since it is related to philosophical debate, it is better to consider it in a sequence. PLEASE SHARE IT IF YOU LIKE IT)

In the previous posting, Jadabharata clarified to King Rahugana that the only and ultimate Karta or Kartru is the Lord, which should be applied to everything, every minute action, speech, reaction etc., Questions like ‘kasya hEtOho’ cannot be raised, though some scholars convert the words “Kasya hEtOho” into “kasyachid” to restrict the meaning to “due to any one reason”, which is incorrect, unwarranted, according to Sri Madhwacharya. Sri Acharya says:

YamAnmUlakAraNaBhUtO ViShNurEva atO muKhyam srvakAraNatwam tasyaiva| MUlAshraya vivakShA yadi na syAt, kutaha pruThivyAm chalateeti vyavahAraha? YatO(a)vAntarAshrayA bahavaha santyamGhryAdyAha|

Lord Hari is the origin, genesis of even the nature, which is normally conceived as the origin and therefore, bearing the weight, as in the case of four servants bearing the weight of the palanquin in which Rahugana was being carried, and moving or walking etc., all depend on Him and His desire or will. The conception that ‘X,Y,Z etc… is walking, sitting, speaking and so on’ is for worldly transaction. It is only desirable and quite mandatory at that, all actions of all living and non-living beings or things rests only and only with the Lord.
