The young woman is none other than ‘Budhi’ which is the source of ‘I’ness and ‘My’ness. This causes the attachment with the outside world. Any one would find it ‘inviting’ or tempting.

The ten servants are the ten organs that obey ‘Budhi’. They have hundreds of interactions with the outside world and hence represented by the hundreds of leads.

When Jeevathma turned its attention to the world, it came out from the ‘Self’ or ceased to be ‘Atmarama’ – the one who rejoices in the Self. This is shown as Puranjana’s roaming in the outside garden.

Now, Jeeva and Budhi are attracted to each other. Let us see, what will happen next, in the coming session.

(Bhagavatham 4.25.17 – 4.25.25)

Dear Devotee,

Please read Srimad Bhagavatham to understand the ‘word by word’ interpretation of this story. It appears to be an interesting love story, but contains and conveys very subtle knowledge.

HariOm!
