SUMMARY: “May this sacred Phalgu River, which, despite
clearing the sins of several past births, thinks that she has benefited little
to those who go to her from long distances, provide me with virtues such as
being without false vanity or pride”, Sri Vadiraja appeals to the Goddess of
Phalgu River about which there is mention in Mahabharata (Vana Parva).
Kalidasa, renowned Sanskrit poet and playwright, says “TyAgE
shlAGhA viparyayaha”. Similarly, Phalgu River is known to clear the sins of
several previous births. Yet, she (Phalgu) thinks that clearing the sins of
several past births is very little. That is why the river has been named as
Phalgu, which means “very little”.
According to another interpretation, Phalgu has very
little water. During summer, water can be obtained by digging into the sand.
This is perhaps the reason for the river being named “Phalgu”.
With the prayers offered to Phalgu River, Sri Vadirajaru
completes his explanation of Gaya Kshetra from where he moves to Mathura. Sri
Gurubhyo Namaha|
