Purāṇa / Bhāgavata / Veṇu Gītā

Veṇu Gītā (वेणुगीता)

Bhāgavata 10.21, the song of the flute. Kṛṣṇa sounds the veṇu (वेणु) while the cows are driven, and the gopīs describe what the world does when it hears him. Rivers, trees, peacocks, cows, and birds leave their ordinary motion. The chapter has twenty verses. Six of them, the sounding and the stopping, are already sat from the Sanskrit Documents text on the flute, in the Gāndharva shelf. This page is the door from the purāṇa side. The lines are not sat again here.

The philosophy in the song is bhakti's picture of attention. Everything leans toward what it loves, and a sound is enough to make the leaning visible. Verse 9, on the music page, says the flute drinks the nectar of Dāmodara's lip. That sentence is a description. The basuri room, outside this library, is where a flute is played. No śloka is supplied from memory to look like the text.

Two songs, one skandha

• This song is presence. He is in the woods. The instrument is the excuse the world uses to turn toward him.
• The Gopī Gītā, chapter 31, is absence. The same singers, later, address the one who has left the circle.
• The hub names the rāsa and does not stage it. Neither song is a prompt for that staging.
• A sitting that wants the Devanagari opens the music page. A sitting that wants the place of the song in the twelve skandhas stays here, then goes back to the hub.

नेपालीमा

वेणुगीता भागवत १०.२१ हो, बाँसुरीको गीत। कृष्णले गाई चराउँदा वेणु बजाउँछन्, र गोपीहरू संसारले सुन्दा के गर्छ भनेर वर्णन गर्छन्। नदी, रूख, मयूर, गाई र चरा आफ्नो सामान्य चाल छोड्छन्। अध्यायमा बीस श्लोक छन्। तीमध्ये छ, बजाइ र रोक, संस्कृत डकुमेन्ट्सको पाठबाट बाँसुरी पृष्ठमा, गान्धर्व तहमा, पहिले नै राखिएका छन्। यो पृष्ठ पुराणतिरको ढोका हो। पङ्क्तिहरू यहाँ फेरि राखिँदैनन्।

गीतभित्रको दर्शन भक्तिको ध्यानको चित्र हो। सबै थोक आफूले प्रेम गरेकोतिर ढल्किन्छ, र एउटा आवाजले त्यो ढल्किने देखिने बनाउँछ। संगीत पृष्ठको नवौँ श्लोकले भन्छ, बाँसुरीले दामोदरको ओठको अमृत पिउँछ। त्यो वाक्य वर्णन हो। यो पुस्तकालयबाहिरको बाँसुरी कोठामा बाँसुरी बजाइन्छ। पाठजस्तो देखाउन सम्झनाबाट कुनै श्लोक हालिएको छैन।

Where it sits

Gāndharva tells how celestial music came down into earthly deśī. This chapter is one of the texts that descent is heard in. The Gāndharva shelf is the lore. The practice rooms of Sangeet Yatra are the playing. The purāṇa pillar keeps the chapter's name so a reader of the Bhāgavata can find the verses without losing the skandha.
