योगीद्र उवाच

स्वामिन् सर्वजगन्नाथ शरणागतवत्सल |

मग्नमुद्धर गोविन्द भुवनं कलिकल्मषे ||

अल्पायुषो नराः सर्वे पापानुष्ठानतत्पराः |

The yogindra prayed

Oh! Swami! The Lord of all the worlds! The gracious father of those who have surrendered to You whole-heartedly! Oh, Govinda! Please uplift with grace the world that drowned in the evils of Kali. Oh! Krishna! Those people who are mortals, who indulge only in sinful activities, who are tossed by fears and sorrows of different kinds, do not respect You. Oh! Gracious! Oh! Lord! You please be born on this earth and conquer the ferocious Kali. 

Shri Bhagavan replied

Oh! Yogi! My incarnations are limited to the three yoga's only. In Kali, I am not taking an avatar. hence I come in the Archavatara form and carry on the divine play. Even in Kali, out of mercy, I invisibly reside in the Archavatara. Only the great bhaktas realize My presence and power. I always reside invisible in the Archavatara pleased with those bhaktas who worship Me with single-minded devotion, with Nama Sankirtan etc.

The yogindra said

Govinda! Lord of the lords! Head of the devas! Oh! Sanatana (eternal)! In that case, please give me darshan always in the Archavatara form. As You are the BHaktavatsala, overpowering the talents of all the sculptors, You take a form of Your own (Swayambhoo) for the sake of the bhaktas.

Shri Sadguru said

Heeding the prayers of the yogi, Lord Govinda, the merciful and the Bhaktavatsala assumed the Archavatara form. Bhagavan Shri Hari took the Archavatara form with the same expression on the face that was there during this conversation with the yogi. The great yogi bathed the moorti that was the abode of all the world's beauties, and was quite alluring with Yamuna water. The yogi worshipped Him daily with the offerings of the flowers and fruits found on the banks of the holy Yamnua. He stayed on the banks of the Yamuna for a long time, singing His Divine Name and cherishing His Leela. 

Thus ends Chapter Ten entitled 'Kevalrama Yoginra Charitam' of Book X of Shri Vaishnava Samhita composed by Shri Shri Krishna Premi Swamigal
