श्रीसद्गुरुरुवाच 

महाघोरेण कलिना पापाचारप्रवर्तिना
आक्रान्ते भारते देशे नष्टा धर्माः सनातनाः  ||
यवनैश्च महादुष्टैर्दुराचारकुतूहलैः   
व्याप्तं बृन्दावनं सर्वं भक्तमण्डलसेवितम्  ||
अहो भगवतो लीला दुरॊहा योगिनामपि 
कृष्णस्यान्तःपुरं ह्येतदाक्रान्तं यवनैरपि  ||

Shri Sadguru said

The perpetual path of righteousness is lost in our country Bharat engulfed by dreadful Kali promoting only vices. Once Brindavan worshipped by the bhaktas was occupied by the wicked mlecchas with malicious deeds. Alas! The divine pastimes of Shri Bhagavan are not comprehensible even to the yogis. The Brindavan which is the sacred abode of Shri Krishna was inhabited by the mlecchas.

Vaishnava Samhita. Shri Vyasadasa Charitam II. Vol II Book VI Chp 3 Shlokas 30 - 31

श्रीसद्गुरुरुवाच 
एवं बहुविधैः स्तोत्रैराराध्य व्रजननन्दनम् 
न प्राप तृप्तिलेशञ्च व्यासदासः प्रियव्रतः  ||
यः पठेद्व्यासदासस्य चरितं किल्बिषापाहम् 
स प्राप्नुयान्मुकुन्दस्य प्रसादं सर्वमङ्गलम्  ||  

Shri Sadguru continued

The most distinguished bhakta, Vyasadasa, was not tired of praising Lord Krishna in so many ways and worshipping Him. He who reads this pious story of Vyasadasa earns the prasada of Shri Krishna, which is capable of bestowing all good.

Thus ends Chapter Three entitled 'Shri Vyasadasa Charitam II' of Book VI of Shri Vaishnava Samhita composed by Shri Shri Krishna Premi Swamigal

पूरयस्यतिकारुण्यादेवं भक्तमनोरथम् 
प्रतिक्रियां न जानन्ति सर्वे भागवतास्तव  ||
तस्मादेव हि ते भक्तास्त्वामेव शरणं गताः 
अनन्यनिष्ठया देव त्वत्कारुण्यपरायणः   ||

Thus, due to Your supreme mercy You satisfy the bhaktas. The bhagavatas do not know how to reward You for this. That is why Your bhaktas seek only Your mercy and consider it as their only goal in life. Forgetting everything else they surrender unto You.

Vaishnava Samhita. Shri Vyasadasa Charitam II. Vol II Book VI Chp 3 Shlokas 27 - 28

जानन्त एव जानन्तु तव वैभवमद्भुतम् 
तवाविज्ञाय सौलभ्यमवजानन्ति पामराः  ||
एवं परोक्षरूपस्त्वं जगतामपि माधव
भक्तिः सङ्गम्य कृपया साक्षात्क्रीडसि सन्ततम् ||

Those who can realize Your immense greatness know that. The lay people disrespect Your simplicity as they do not understand the true import f it. You are Omnipresent, yet hidden. Due to Your untold mercy, You appear in form and play happily with the bhaktas.

Vaishnava Samhita. Shri Vyasadasa Charitam II. Vol II Book VI Chp 3 Shloka 26

भवसि त्वं सुखाराध्यो दुराराध्योपि योगिनाम् 
भक्तानां सुलभोसि त्वं सुराणामपि दुर्लभः 

Though inaccessible even to the yogis for worshipping, You are got easily by us. You are unattainable even to the devas. But You are very near and easily reachable to the bhaktas.
