Sri Swami Charitra Saramrit English Translation Chapter 10
Shree Swami Samarth, my salutations to all Swami devotees. Today we are going to learn about Sri Swami Charitra Saramrita Chapter Ten.
It is because of our previous meritorious deeds that we got this human birth and this Sri Swami Charitra Saramrita is being written by our hands. Expressing gratitude for this, the writer starts writing further stories.
In a village called Haveri, there lived a Yajurvedi Brahmin named Balappa, who was engaged in the trade of Sarafi (jwellery). There was no shortage of happiness, prosperity and wealth in the house. They were getting all kinds of happiness. At the age of 30, his mind began to fade. And they felt altruistic. Existence is fleeting. Instead of running after the pleasures of it, Balappa decided to turn to eternal and liberating altruism.
One night Balappa had a dream. On receiving a favorable signal in the dream, he left his household saying that he had some work to do in Solapur. And started wandering elsewhere in search of Sadhguru.
Walking around, Balappa reached the village of Murgod. A well-known legend named Chidambara Dixit was living at Murgod.
While introducing Chidambara Dixit, the author says that a pious Brahmin named Malhar Dixit lived in Murgod village. He was well versed in Vedas. But he didn’t have children so he was always sad. Malhar Dixit did penance for twelve years to get a child. Then he got the benefit of son due to Shiva Prasad.
In reality, Shri Shankara was born in the belly of Malhar Dixit’s wife. Later this child became proficient in all kinds of studies. At the age of eight, the boy proved his divinity by bringing a clay elephant to life. The kingdom of Rao Baji Peshwa, who was dealing with him, went on perish.
Shri Swami himself was present in the Mahayagya ceremony of Chidambara Dikshit. And the book writers write that Sri Swami was responsible for growing ghee. When the ghee ran out during the meal, Sri Swami casually touched the urns and miraculously supplied everyone with ghee. This has been narrated by the author. Balappa entered Chidambara Dixit’s land. And here ends the tenth chapter of Sri Swami Charitra Saramrita. Shri Swami Samarth, Jai Jai Swami Samarth.
Along with this we are giving you the tenth chapter of original Swami charitra Saramrita.
अध्याय दहावा
श्रीगणेशाय नम:।
गाठी होतें पूर्वपुण्य। म्हणुनी पावलों नरजन्म।
याचें सार्थक उत्तम। करणें उचित आपणां ॥1॥
ऐसा मनीं करूनि विचार। आरंभिलें स्वामीचरित्र।
ते शेवटासी नेणार। स्वामी समर्थ असती पैं ॥2॥
हावेरी नामक ग्रामीं। यजुर्वेदी गृहस्थाश्रमी।
बाळाप्पा नामें द्विज कोणी । राहत होते आनंदें ॥3॥
संपत्ती आणि संतती। अनुकूल सर्व तयांप्रती।
सावकारी सराफी करिती। जनीं वागती प्रतिष्ठित ॥4॥
तीस वर्षांचें वय झालें। संसारातें उबगले।
सद्गुरुसेवेचे दिवस आले। मती पालटली तयांची ॥5॥
जरी संसारीं वर्तती। तरी मनीं नाहीं शांती।
योग्य सदगुरु आपणाप्रती। कोठें आतां भेटेल ॥6॥
पंचपक्वान्नें सुवर्ण ताटीं। भरोनी आपणापुढें येती।
पाहोनिया स्वप्नी ऐशा गोष्टी। उल्हासलें मानस ॥7॥
तात्काळ केला निर्धार। सोडावें सर्व घरदार।
मायापाश दृढतर। विवेकशस्त्रें तोडावा ॥8॥
सोलापुरीं काम आम्हांसी। ऐसें सांगुनी सर्वत्रांसी।
निघाले सदगुरु शोधासी। घरदार सोडिलें ॥9॥
मुरगोड ग्राम प्रख्यात। तेथें आले फिरत फिरत।
जेथें चिदंबर दीक्षित। महापुरुष जन्मले ॥10॥
मुरगोडीं मल्हार दीक्षित। वेदशास्त्रीं पारंगत।
धर्मकर्मीं सदा रत। ईश्वरभक्त तैसाची ॥11॥
परी तयां नाहीं संतती। म्हणोनिया उद्विग्न चित्तीं।
मग शिवाराधना करिती। कामना चित्तीं धरोनी ॥12॥
द्वादशवर्षें अनुष्ठान। केलें शंकराचें पूजन।
सदाशिव प्रसन्न होऊन। वर देत तयांसी ॥13॥
तुझी भक्ती पाहोन । संतुष्ट झालें माझें मन ।
मीच तुझा पुत्र होईन । भरंवसा पूर्ण असावा ॥14॥
ऐकोनिया वरासी । आनंदले मानसीं।
वार्ता सांगतां कांतेसी। तेही चित्तीं तोषली ॥15॥
नवमास भरतां पूर्ण। कांता प्रसवली पुत्ररत्न।
मल्हार दीक्षितें आनंदोन। संस्कार केले यथाविधी ॥16॥
चिदंबर नामाभिधान। ठेवियलें तयालागुन।
शुक्लपक्षीय शशिसमान। बाळ वाढूं लागलें ॥17॥
पुढें केलें मौंजीबंधन। वेदशास्त्रीं झाले निपुण।
निघंटु शिक्षा व्याकरण। काव्यग्रंथ पढविले ॥18॥
एकदा यजमानाचे घरीं। व्रत होतें गजगौरी।
चिदंबर तया अवसरीं। पूजेलागीं आणिले ॥19॥
प्राणप्रतिष्ठा मंत्र म्हणतां। गजासी प्राण येउनी तत्वतां।
चालूं लागला हें पाहतां। विस्मित झाले यजमान ॥20॥
ऐशा लीला अपार। दाखविती चिदंबर।
प्रत्यक्ष जे का शंकर। जगदुद्धारार्थ अवतरले ॥21॥
असो पुढें प्रौढपणीं। यज्ञ केला दीक्षितांनीं।
सर्व सामग्री मिळवूनी। द्रव्य बहुत खर्चिलें ॥22॥
तया समयीं एके दिनीं। ब्राह्मण बैसले भोजनीं।
तूप गेलें सरोनी। दीक्षितांतें समजलें ॥23॥
जलें भरले होते घट। तयांसी लावितां अमृतहस्त।
तें घृत झालें समस्त। आश्चर्य करिती सर्व जन ॥24॥
तेव्हां पुणें शहरामाजी। पेशवे होते राव बाजी।
एके समयीं ते सहजीं। दर्शनातें पातले ॥25॥
अन्यायानें राज्य करित। दुसर्याचें द्रव्य हरित।
यामुळें जन झाले त्रस्त। दाद त्यांची लागेना ॥26॥
तयांनी हें ऐकोन। मुरगोडीं आले धावोन।
म्हणती दीक्षितांसी सांगून। दाद आपुली लावावी ॥27॥
रावबाजीसी वृत्तांत। कर्णोपकर्णीं झाला श्रुत।
म्हणती जें सांगतील दीक्षित। तें अमान्य करवेना ॥28॥
मग दीक्षितांसी निरोप पाठविला। आम्ही येतों दर्शनाला।
परी आपण आम्हांला। त्वरीत निरोप देइजे ॥29॥
ऐसें सांगता दीक्षितांप्रती। तया वेळीं काय बोलती।
आता पालटली तुझी मती। त्वरीत मागसी निरोप ॥30॥
कोपला तुजवरी ईश्वर। जाईल राज्यलक्ष्मी सर्व।
वचनीं ठेवी निर्धार।निरोप तुजला दिला असे ॥31॥
सिद्धवाक्य सत्य झालें। रावबाजीचें राज्य गेलें।
ब्रह्मावर्तीं राहिले। परतंत्र जन्मवरी ॥32॥
एके समयीं अक्कलकोटीं। दीक्षितांच्या निघाल्या गोष्टी।
तेव्हां बोलले स्वामी यती। आम्हीं त्यातें जाणतों ॥33॥
यज्ञसमारंभाचे अवसरीं। आम्हीं होतों त्यांचे घरी।
तूप वाढण्याची कामगिरी। आम्हांकडे तैं होती ॥34॥
महासिद्ध दीक्षित। त्यांचे वर्णिलें अल्पवृत्त।
मुरगोडीं बाळाप्पा येत। पुण्यस्थान जाणोनी ॥35॥
तेथें ऐकिला वृत्तान्त। अक्कलकोटीं स्वामीसमर्थ।
भक्तजन तारणार्थ। यतिरुपें प्रगटले ॥36॥
इति श्रीस्वामीचरित्रसारामृत। नाना प्राकृत कथा संमत।
सदा परिसोत प्रेमळ भक्त। दशमोध्याय गोड हा ॥37॥
श्रीस्वामीराजार्पणमस्तु ॥ शुभं भवतु । श्रीरस्तु ॥
