When I was learning a version of it, I had gone online to find the translation I reproduce below. There is a well known verse (I am not sure what it is called, whether it is a sloka or stands alone or is an excerpt from some work) which is often sung as a chant or bhajan. I too enjoyed your short note and you particularly caught my attention by the definition for Mura. So he is the destroyer of Mura, or Murari. Krishna destroys our ignorance and gives us enlightenment. We are all covered by ignorance of our real nature and so we think of ourselves as the body, while we are really the Atma. ‘Mura’ is a verbal root in Sanskrit meaning ‘to cover’. Murari means the enemy or destroyer of Mura.īut the word Murari has also a vedantic meaning. It is well known as the name of Krishna and it was given to him because he killed the demon Mura. This vedantic truth is contained in this word. Past karma is the seed which gives rise to the present body. Vapuh- upyate purvakarmabhih- that which is reaped by the sowing of past karma. The word dehah is most appropriate in the stage of growth, though it is normally used without any such distinction. According to Vedanta, every living being has six stages- jaayate (is born), asti (exists), vardhate (grows), viparinamate (changes), apakshiyate (declines), vinasyati (dies). So the word dehah can be used to denote the body when it is in the stage of growth. The physical body is perishable and so it is called sareeram.ĭehah- This is derived from the verbal root dih which means ‘to grow’. Sareeram-seeryate iti sareeram- that which is perishable is sareeram. The derivation of each of these is significant.
