He also had seven sons, who later became rulers of that tract of land known as Dravi\u1e0da. Thus there were seven kings in that land.<\/p>\n<p>Purport<br \/>\nKing Malayadhvaja was a great devotee, and after he married the daughter of King Vidarbha, he gave her one nice daughter, whose eyes were black. Figuratively this means that the daughter of King Malayadhvaja was also bestowed with devotional service, for her eyes were always fixed on K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a. A devotee has no vision in his life other than K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a. The seven sons are the seven processes of devotional service \u2014 hearing, chanting, remembering, offering worship, offering prayers, rendering transcendental loving service and serving the lotus feet of the Lord. Of the nine types of devotional service, only seven were immediately given. The balance \u2014 friendship and surrendering everything \u2014 were to be developed later. In other words, devotional service is divided into two categories, namely vidhi-m\u0101rga and r\u0101ga-m\u0101rga. The process of becoming friends with the Lord and sacrificing everything for Him belongs to the category of r\u0101ga-m\u0101rga, the stage of developed devotional service. For the neophyte, the important processes are those of hearing and chanting (\u015brava\u1e47a\u1e41 k\u012brtanam), remembering K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a, worshiping the Deity in the temple, offering prayers, always engaging in the service of the Lord, and worshiping the lotus feet of the Lord.<\/p>\n<p>The word yav\u012byasa\u1e25 indicates that these processes are very powerful. After a devotee engages in the processes of \u015brava\u1e47a\u1e41 k\u012brtana\u1e41 vi\u1e63\u1e47o\u1e25 smara\u1e47a\u1e41 p\u0101da-sevanam\/ arcana\u1e41 vandana\u1e41 d\u0101syam, and is able to secure these processes, he can later become a devotee capable of rendering spontaneous devotional service, namely sakhyam and \u0101tma-nivedanam. Generally the great \u0101c\u0101ryas who preach devotional service all over the world belong to the category of sakhyam \u0101tma-nivedanam. A neophyte devotee cannot actually become a preacher. The neophyte is advised to execute devotional service in the seven other fields (\u015brava\u1e47a\u1e41 k\u012brtanam, etc.). If one can successfully execute the preliminary seven items, he can in the future be situated on the platform of sakhyam \u0101tma-nivedanam.<\/p>\n<p>The specific mention of Dravi\u1e0da-de\u015ba refers to the five Dravi\u1e0da-de\u015bas in South India. All are very strong in rendering the preliminary devotional processes (\u015brava\u1e47a\u1e41 k\u012brtanam). Some great \u0101c\u0101ryas, like R\u0101m\u0101nuj\u0101c\u0101rya and Madhv\u0101c\u0101rya, also came from Dravi\u1e0da-de\u015ba and became great preachers. They were all situated on the platform of sakhyam \u0101tma-nivedanam.<br \/>\nWatch it here: <a href=\"https:\/\/is.gd\/SwiNyq\">https:\/\/is.gd\/SwiNyq<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/64.media.tumblr.com\/41f7a41dd489bd94e8a5a3f8f2adf6bc\/efded9117ef559a4-3c\/s500x750\/3d0a26b7ea7d103d79a89125fbb09ff1717dec6e.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>King Malayadhvaja fathered one daughter, who had very black eyes.
