Bhagawatham-03-Kapilopakhyanam


"......MANAEVA MANUSHYANAM KARANAM BANDHAMOKSHAYOH:........"
"Kapila thanurithi twam devahutyai nyagadee:"


Vidura explains in details to Maitreya the manifestation of the Virat form of the lord and the appearance of Brahma from the Garbhodakasayi Mahavishnu and then the creation of the world starting from the birth of Sanatkumaras.
Sanatkumaras cursed the dwarapalakas of the Lord in Vaikunta,Jaya and Vijaya,for three generations of Demonhood and their first generation in the form of Hiranyaksha and Hiranyakasipu. Lord, in order to save the Vedas, takes the Varaha Avataram and kills Hiranyaksha in an encounter.

Kardama Muni marries Devahuti,Manu's daughter and after the birth of 9 girls the Lord takes the Avataram of Kapiladeva as Devahuti's son.Kardama Muni renunciates his worldly life and goes for meditations.Devahuti says to Kapiladeva.." that I've fallen into the ignorances of material- senses and you are the only means to get me out of this illusion and since you are the Bhagawan you can lift me out of this maya of yourself, into which I've fallen, due to my false egos......................................"

What Kapiladeva,the Lord, explains to his mother,Devahuti,is known as the Kapil-geetha,or Kapilopakhyanam,where-in Kapiladeva describes in detail about the importance of Yoga,and the glories of the devotional services to the God.....basic principles of the material nature and the importance of understanding them...............the adverse consequences and entanglements of fruitive activities ............and how wandering the Jiva is in the birth-cycles.....and Kapiladeva tells Devahuti that the mind alone is the reason for the feeling of Bondage and the Liberation.
