            The Maha Bhagawatha(  "great worshipper of Bhagavat (Vishnu) )  consists of twelve books (skandhas or cantos) totalling 335 chapters (adhyayas) and 18,000 verses. The tenth book, with about 4,000 verses, has been the most popular and widely studied. By daily reading of this supreme scripture, there is no untimely death, disease, epidemic, fear of enemies, etc. and man can attain Bhagwat(god) even in Kaliyug and reach the ultimate salvation.Few  translations verse  by verse  is available  in 5-6  languages.

  Maha Bhagawatha gives in detail,most  of Indian dynasties  and one big chapter on life  of Krishna. In Malayalam  , the first  abridgement in Malayalam was by  THunjathu ezhthachancalled  BHagawatham  kili pattu.(18^th centuary)  When BHattathiri  was sick,, he sought  advice  of Ezhuthachan and he adviced  him to write  about ten incarnations of Lord Vishnu . As a result  he  wrote  his magnus opum  Narayaneeyam.Though  it is a summary  of Bhagawatha  with slightly  more than one thousand verses, it is more a book of prayer  addressed to Lord Guruvayurappa. In the past few years  Narayaneeyam became  very popular  in all over South india

     Though few summaries  of Narayaneeyam have come out, the number  of summaries  of Bhagawatha in Malayalam  are  very few

  A few months back I had the good fortune of  translating the  summary  of Narayaneeyam called  (sri Hareeyam ) by Moorkannur   Hari Nambhuthiripad .He  had worked in 2007 and 2015  as the chiefpriest(melsanthi) of the  word famous Guruvayurappan temple,

 Few days back,  I found out   that Sri Hari  Namhudiripad  had also summarised  Maha Bhagawatha  . He has summarised  it in very pretty for, Each of the chapters oF Bagawatha Mahatmyam(7)  for each  of the chapters of Maha Bhagwatha(335 chapters)  was  summarised by  one sloka(verse) and he prefers  to call it as  “Bhagawatha  thoni(boat  of Bhagawatha, written in Vanchi pattu  style). He has called it like that possibly by his verse number 12.4  which says

To  get out of the ocean of  Samsara , there is only one boat

The never decaying  God  of  Bhagawatha

 

The  great book   which was  published  in 2016 has already  undergone  four impressions

Though  people  who do not Malayalam , can read  my translation, every Malayalam knowing  Hindu  should read  this great book. You can by it  from the author (moorkannur Srehari Nambudiri, Prasadam, Chalakkudi -680307)

 

Interestingly  , I had translated another  abridgement  of Maha Bhagawatha called Bhagawatha  Theevndi( BHawatha train), https://stotrarathna.blogspot.com/2020/02/bhagawatha-theevandi-train-of-bhagawatha.html

In the Bhagawatha Mahathmya  of  Padma  Purana

Sage  Narada    saw   that wisdom and detachment  ,

The sons  of  Devotion  were  found to have  old age symptoms

Puthranmaare  unarthuvaan kazhinjilla

Yi  karyathe Sanakadhi  munikalodu  paranju

Bhagawatham paadu, sArvam  bhangi yayidum

 

In spite  of chanting Veda  , Vedantha   and even Gita

They were  not able  to wake  up  their sons

They informed  about this to Sanaka  and other  sages

They  said “Sing  Bhagawatha, everything  will become alright”

 

03.Sanakadi munimaaro Naradanum othu chernnu

Sanaka   and other  sages     along  with  sage  Narada

Started  chanting Bhagawatha, in shores of Ganga

The sage narrated  about  greatness  of Bhagawatha

Bhagawatha is difficult   to get  even  to  the  Devas

Reached  there  with joy., it is a great  wonder

Later  Athmadeva(God soul) told  his story

Dundhukari became an evil man  and Brahmin became sad

 

5.Dundhukari  dur mruthyuvaal prethamayee, sodharanaam

Gokarnano bhagawatham vayicha  neram

Sapthaahathil avasanamMoksham nedi  Dundhukari

Dundhukari due to bad  death  became  a dead body but his

Brother gokarna when BHagawatha  was  read, during the,

End of Sapthaha, at the end   got  salvation and Dundhukari

While  good people were  seeing , went to Vaikunta

 

6.Sapthahathin vidhiyeyum venda poale cholliyallo

Bakthi yethi, Bhagawanum  yajna saalayil

Yethu tharam klesatheyum Bhagawatham illathaakkum

Bakthi unarnnidum sathyam bhagawan  cholvu

 

He had told the rule   of Sapthaha (seven day reading) as per rules

Devotion reached The god also in Yajna  Saala

Bhagawatham would destroy  any troubles

Devotion would wake up, God would only tell the truth

The man’s body  is the boat we  got to cross,

The ocean  of Samsara

 

11.21 Randennulla chintha maaraan  chitha sudhi varuthenam

Athinnathre yella vidha  margangal yennum

The devotee  Udhava  started towards Badari

 

11.30 Prabhasathil yethi dhanam cheithuvallo yadavanmaar

Madhya lahariyil yadhavanmaar thammil  thalli  thalli  nasichu

Balaraman  swa dehathe upekshichu, Sri krishnano

Jarayude  saramethu mandahasichu

 

Yadhava  reached  Prabhasa and did  Chartities

In the excitement of alchohol yadhavas hit each  other and died

Balarama  gave  up his body,

Sri Krishna was hit by arrow of Jara and smiled

 

11.31 SArva  deva  janangalum nokki  nilkke, padhma  nethram

Sarveswaran melle melle adachuvallo

Bhagawan madangiyathaam vaartha kettu dwarakayil

Pathnimaaro swa dehathe upekshichuvallo

 

With all devas  seeing him, The God of all,

Slowly , slowly  shut his  lotus like eyes

Hearing  the news  of the return of God, In Dwaraka

All his wives discarded  their own body

 

Dwadasa Skandam –Twelfth  Canto

 

12.1  Kai yugathe Raja vamsatheyum, kaliyude,

Onnumonnum kondu pokan kazhiyukilla

Yithra doshamulla  kali yugathinde punyam athre

Naama  japam onnu  kondu  moksham nedaam

 

The humans who claim  everything is theirs, when they die,

Will not be able  to take  anything

The blessing  of this great  evil Kali age is that

By chanting of God’s name  we will get salvation

 

12,4 Nithyam naimithikam , prakrutheekam, athyantheekavum

Yitharathil  naalu  pralayamundu

Samsara  kadalil ninnu  kara  keraan, thoni onne

Srimadh bhagawathamaakum  akshara  brahmam

 

Daily , cusal  , natural  and that at the end

Like this  there would four deluges

To  get out of the ocean of  Samsara , there is only one boat

The never decaying  God  of  Bhagawatha

 

12.5Bhagawanil nishkama  bakthi vannal, Brahmabhavam

Kai vannedum  yenna sathyam Shukanum Cholli

Brahmopadesathil Rajan mukthanaayi  maariyallo

Ini yenthu ariyenam, muni  chodhichu

 

If you get unattached  devotion  to god, you will get Godliness

This  truth  was   told  by sage Sukha

In the teaching about God  , the  king became  released/evolved,

The sage  asked  , what more do you want

 

12.6Parikshith  namichappol, sri Sukha rishi  yathra aayi

Paramatthma bhavathilekku  uyarnna Rajan

Thakshakande  damasakam undaayi, sarpa sathram nadathinaan

When Parikshith saluted , the sage  took leave

The kind raised  to the status  of divine God

Then there was biting by  Thakshaka, He carried  out  Sarpa yaga

He also told how Vyasa  divided  the Vedas, it was  great

 

12.7Pathinettu  puranangal rachichoru  Vyasa  devan

Bhagwatham mahathai  nirmichuvallo

Pathu lakshanamulla Bhagawatham, Veda Vyasan

Sishya  parampara  vazhi pracharipichu

 

The  God like Vyasa    wrote  the eighteen Puranas

And he also greatly  wrote Bhagwatham

The Bhagawatha  with ten good  properties was

Publicized through  his disciples

 

  12,8Markandeyan Himalaya  sanukkalalil  thapam cheithu

Indran thapam mudakkanayi  nokki, thothodi

Thapassil  santhushtaraayi  nara narayananmaarum

Prathyakshamaayi, Baktha muni  sthuthi  thudangi

 

Marakandeya did penance  on mountains  of Himalayas

Indra tried  to stop it  , he failed  and  ran away

Nara and Narayana  became  happy with his penance

They  came in person ,The devoted sage started  praying

 

12.9Varamenthu venamennu chodhichappol, muni cholli

Maya  kandal kollam yennu  vinayathode

Pettennu  mazha peithu, pralayathin sadrusamayi

Aalila kannane  kandu  muni pakachu

 

When they asked  what boon he wanted , the sage said,

“if possible I want to see  illusion”  with humility

Suddenly  ther was rain  , similar  to the deluge

When he say Baby Krishna on Banyan leaf, the sage was perplexed

 

12.10Muni vendum thapam cheithu, Parvathiyum mukannanum

Muniyude munnil yethi darasanam  nalki

Bhagawnil, bhakthanmaaril, Maha deva padhangalil

NIshkalanka  bakthikkai  prathichu  Muni

 

Again the sage did penance, Goddess  Parvathi and Lord shiva

Reached  before the sage  and showed  them selves

The sage  prayed  for stainless  devotion on God

On devotees  and feet  of Lord Shiva

 

12.11Pathinallu lokavaum bhagavande avayava-

Sthanangalaai kalpiikenam, suthan paranju

AAdhithyande  vyoohatheyum, paranjallo  anantharam

Bhagawatha parayanam samarppichallo

 

Sutha told   , you have to imagine  the fourteen worlds

AS  the  place  of the limbs  of God

He also later  told about the solar  system

The  end of reading  of Bhagawatha  has come

 

12.12 Ithuvare kettathellam , manam cheyyanayittu

Pandrandu skandangalude  sarathe mudhaa

Haraye nama yenna panchakshari japathaale

Sarva papam nasichidum  yennathum sathyam

 

If you  keep in your mind  all that  yu have heard

The summary  of twelve Cantos  , with joy

By the chanting of  five lettered  “Haraye nama”

All sins  would get  destroyed , this is the truth

 

12.13Purana sankhyaye choli, Bhagawatha mahathmyvum

Sarvathra  Govinda nama sankeerthanam

Govinda, govinda, Govinda

 

Everywhere  the song of  name of Govinda
