Now, the sevak of Shri Gusainji, Rupmurari Das, a Kshatriya who lives in Ambalaya, the feeling of their story is told here.
Bhav Prakash (Revealing the Sentiment): This Rupmurari Das is a rajas devotee. In the divine play his name is Chitrankini. He has manifested from Chitra, therefore he has their emotional form. So Chitrankini makes many kinds of paintings in the groves and secluded groves. Because of this he is very dear to Shri Thakurji.
So Rupmurari Das was born in Ambalaya in the house of a Kshatriya. That Kshatriya was a sevak of the ruler of the land. He used to accompany the ruler on hunts. The ruler remained very pleased with him. But he became old. Then he began to keep Rupmurari Das with him. So Rupmurari Das remained with him on the hunts. Afterwards, in some days, that Kshatriya died. Then the ruler kept Rupmurari Das in his service.
Prasang 1 – Meeting Shri Gusainji at Govardhan
Rupmurari Das remained as a sevak of the ruler. He used to go on hunts with the ruler. Once the ruler’s camp was at Govardhan, on Mansiganga. Then Rupmurari Das came toward the backside of the hunt. There he hunted a hawk. Afterwards, taking the hawk, he mounted the horse and rode from the backside, and came to Govindkund. At that time Shri Gusainji was performing the evening worship on Govindkund.
So Rupmurari Das received the darshan of Shri Gusainji. And Shri Gusainji gave darshan to Rupmurari Das in a form of beauty surpassing a crore of Kamadevas. That Rupmurari, wearing the full hunting attire, came and made obeisance to Shri Gusainji. Afterwards Rupmurari Das made a request to Shri Gusainji, Maharaj! This is my condition. And now I have come into your refuge. Therefore please accept me.
Then Shri Gusainji said to Rupmurari Das, You bathe and come. We will accept you. Then Rupmurari Das, removing his clothes, bathed with great joy, came to Shri Gusainji, made obeisance, and stood before the Lord.
Afterwards Shri Gusainji, showing grace, recited the name-offering for Rupmurari Das. Then Rupmurari Das, wearing other clothes, came along with Shri Gusainji, and climbing Shri Govardhan mountain, went and sat in the temple of Shri Nathji.
When the time came, Rupmurari Das took darshan of Shri Nathji. Afterwards Shri Gusainji performed the anusaar of Shri Nathji, descended the mountain, himself ate food, and placed the leaf-plate before Rupmurari Das. Then Rupmurari Das, asking permission from the Lord, took some prasada from it. Afterwards Rupmurari Das tied that leaf-plate’s edge, placed it by his pillow, and slept.
Bhav Prakash (Revealing the Sentiment): Why? That leaf-plate was filled with the unsakhdi mahaprasad. Therefore he did this.
As long as the body of Rupmurari Das lived, he daily took prasada from that leaf-plate. And afterwards he would take other prasada. That leaf-plate, on journeys, remained with the khawas, and in the camp or at home he placed it under his pillow and slept. Thus Rupmurari Das became so devoted by the grace of the Lord.
Prasang 2 – The Special Grace on Rupmurari Das
And upon Rupmurari Das, Shri Gusainji and Shri Giridharji showed great grace. Shri Giridharji used to converse privately with Rupmurari Das. They used to reveal all the secrets of the divine play. And during the adornment of Shri Nathji, on the command of Shri Giridharji, Rupmurari Das would take darshan of Shri Nathji standing and watching. Such grace Shri Giridharji bestowed upon him.
Thus, Rupmurari Das became such a recipient of grace of Shri Gusainji and such a devotee of Bhagavan. Therefore, the story of such a person is indescribable. How far can it be told?
