PAYOVRUTHAM
[This is a brief description of significance,procedure and benefits of
Payo-vrata as told in conto 8 of Srimad bhagavadam which is explained in the
following 44 verses.]

1. Once the enlightened Great Saint Katchyapa Maha Muni

on retreating from his prolonged samadhi (Yogic trance)
reached Athithi's ashrama and saw his sweet spouse Athithi
without any joy and the mundane happiness in her face,
He asked why.

2. Athithi performed the prescribed rituals of receiving her

husband by herself with a sorrowful and heavy heart
reflecting on her face. Accepting her prostrations at his feet
and being seated in sitting place, Maharishi questioned her
thoughtful of depression.

3. Maha Muni asked:

a. Why are you sad?
b. Why is your auspicious face dull, My sweet wife?
c. Whether all the dharmic activities are carried out
without any impediments during my absence?
d. Whether the Brahmins and cows are kept well?

4. Also asked:
a. Whether any athithi (guests) visited our house and
left without any offerings?
b. Did you not performed the Agni Homa properly?
c. Are your children faring well, My lady?
d. Let me know the reason for your distress.

5. Athithi replied: Great Master! The cows, the guests, servants

and the needy are well treated as should. All the dharmic
activities were performed well with your gracious blessings.
Hey Son of Mareechi Maharishi! Let me tell you the secret
that all the devas and asuras were born of your mind and
body. You are equal-minded to each of them.
Nrusimha Stuthi & Payovrutham 25
6. Though as a father, treating both the children equally, I
surrender myself fondly to you to find a solution for resolving the
sorrows of my children as you are the resolver of the sufferings of
one who surrender to you.
7. Having heard this, the Maha Rishi with a smile on his face, told
her on account of emotional bondage, you said them as your
children. But haven't you know that the body and soul are
different? Also, understand that the mighty strength of Maha
Vishnu is unlimited. He is Janardhana. He is parama purusha. He
is Bhagawan Vasudeva.
8. Bodily Siblings are not the siblings of the souls. Because of the
strength of both their body and soul, jeevas get happiness and
sorrows. Learn the spiritual eternity and shed your worldly
desires. For this, worship Vasudeva.
9. For those who worship Him in their hearts, He graciously
blesses them. He lives in the hearts of every being. He is
worshipped by all the well wishers of the humanity and the
world. He is total (paripoorna). He gives all in abundance.
10. He is gracious to the pleading beings of the world. He is the Lord
of the Lords. He is the boon giver. He effaces the sufferings of the
surrenderers. He is pure. He is eternal. He is the bhakta-
vatchalan. He is Srinivasan. He is the fulfiller of desires.
11. Athithi told her husband:Oh My Lord of Brahmins!
Mahanubhaava! Please preach me the way to worship the true
embodiment of Sathya so that he gets satisfied and bless me
forever to fulfil my desires.
Nrusimha Stuthi & Payovrutham 26
12. Maharishi told I will tell you the code of conduct(vratham)
which once I was taught by Brahma. Bhagawan will be easily
satisfied by this vratham. In ascending period of the moon
(suklapatcha) of palgunya month(Feb/Mar), perform this
payo-vratham with patience and love for 12 days.
13. From the New Moon Day, worship the lotus eyed
bhagawan(Aravindaakcha) with undistorted faith (bhakthi).
Vishnu took an incarnation named Varaha to retrieve Goddess
Earth from Pathaala.
14. Say hymns of Devi and apply mud on the body and take bath in
the river in order to remove the sins. After finishing the daily
routine, choose a place on earth and decorate it to worship the
Almighty.
15. Pray unto the Almighty with the hymns with a Holy pot-
water(poorna kumba jala) at decorated place, in the sun, with
the Guru, and with Agni with Love and compassion to get the real
praise.
16. The prayers are as follows 'Oh Vasudeva! The Lord who showers
rare boons! You are the eternal deity, indweller of the hearts of
everybeing who exist in all places, preacher of all dharmas
forever, the embodiment of all the pure qualities of these.'
17. 'Oh sarveshwara! You are the Maha Purusha worshipped in
Purusha suktha. You are the factor of all the sense organs. You
are predominantly existing in every minute beings. You are the
witness of all happenings in the world (prakriti).'
Nrusimha Stuthi & Payovrutham 27
18. 'You hold 24 principles(thathuvas) as your body. You are the
eternal soul. You are limitless. For the personification of this
world, you are the cause. You are the Narayana. I worship you to
the fullest.'
19. 'Hey Mahavishnu, You are the personification of spiritual
sciences and you have the Vedas as your sareera which
correlates the modern science with yagna sciences.'
20. 'Materials on account of worldly existence are your place. Past,
present and future times are your three feets(paathas). Sound,
hymn, nama, Akyaatha nipaathas are your four horns.
Differences are your seven hands. These are your marked
postures.'
21. 'The water that flows from your feet is held on your head and
you are called as shiva. You are called as rudra when you were
born in the world and cried when born. You are the Lord of the
five elements of Nature in the name of umapathy-spouse of
uma. Oh Madhava! You have outsourced the annihilating
activities to your body which is named as Sankara.'
22. 'You are residing in Brahmadeva for creating the world. All the
creatures survive because of you secretly. You are the praana
(life breadth) for all the dharmic world. You manage the world
by giving pure yoga smrithi.'
23. 'You are the deva for all the devas. You are NaraNarayana. For
the three, you are the principal. You are the Narayana, the
eternal. Give us the deathlessness for the beings who have come
to you. I pray unto you who embrace the Goddess
Mahalakshmi.'
Nrusimha Stuthi & Payovrutham 28
24. 'You resemble the bluish Indrakanti stone. You are the indweller
for both creator and annihilator. You have become the twelve
beautiful kesava murthis. My peethaambarathaari! I worship
you.'
25. 'You are the greatest of all the boon-givers. Contented pundits
take your feet's dust onto their heads. Devas and lakshmi
willingly associate with you. Oh, merciful vasudeva! Please grace
the devotees.'
26. 'Oh Devaki's son! I surrender at your feet. Along with Rukmini
Devi, please have a cordial spirit towards us. Please remove the
sins from misdeeds and mistakes of me. Let me merge with the
feet of your avowed greatness. '
27. Telling the above slokas, Maharishi told: By chanting these
mantras with utmost faith and devotion, prathista the Almighty
and honour Him in every respect with the help of the necessities
of worship. You should bathe him with milk and pure water and
then dress Him with new clothes, a sacred thread
(Yagnopavithram) and ornaments.
28. Along with chanting of the sacred twelve mantras rendered to
the Lord daily, You should also present the daily upacharas to
Him. Also offer pure rice with ghee, molasses and milk and
request Him to partake them as Naivedhya.
29. Having offered the naivedhya to the deity, offer the sweet rice
(payaasanna) chanting the (12) dwadasa mantras as oblations in
the fire. After offering the oblations, offer them to Brahmins and
if they are not available, have the prasaada by yourself at least.
Nrusimha Stuthi & Payovrutham 29
30. To the Brahmins- the devotees of the Lord, after offering them
the upacharas, offer the betel nuts with spices by yourself. By
repeating the dwadasa mantras 108 times, pray to Bhagawan
Vasudeva and circum ambulate them joyously with much
devotion and charm them.
31. After removing the flowers decorated for the Deity and adoring
it to your head with devotion, feed the qualified Brahmins as per
the rituals. Once properly having honoured them, with their
permission, eat the remnants of the prasaada yourself.
32. At night, observe celibacy for the duration of the payo-vrata. On
the next day, after having bathed, with pure faith and devotion,
continue the worship of Vishnu with the oblations closely
following the prescribed procedures as done on the previous
day.
33. With drinking milk only (vratha), with faith and devotion,
continue with the worship of Vasudeva, as stated with bathing
three times a day and also be faithful to the obligations of feeding
the Brahmins. Also, observe celibacy and sleep on the floor
during the entire course.
34. Beginning with the day of pratipat (pradama) until the
thirteenth day of the bright half of the month (suklapatcha),
refrain yourself from great and small sensual pleasures from
discussing trivial subjects and from splendours and resort your
thoughts on the Supreme - Vasudeva.
35. Next, on the thirteenth day (thriyodasi day) proceeding in
accordance with the regulations as laid down in the scriptures,
the Almighty should be bathed with five substances
(panjaamrutham- milk, yogurt, ghee, sugar and honey). This
ceremony should be done in grandeur with the help of four
meritorious veda pundits.
Nrusimha Stuthi & Payovrutham 30
36. Chant purusha sukta mantras on Maha Vishnu and oblate the
prasaada meticulously prepared with milk (havis) in Homa and
offer the Bhagawan, various tasty food items and then feed the
Brahmins as well.
37. The spiritual masters who are well versed in the spiritual
knowledge (Acharya ridwik) should be rewarded to your mite
and worship them. Offer them, excellent drinks and various
food items along with thaamboolam.
38. After also having fed all the poor, Brahmins, the averse and so
on with the pure food, with that kind of understanding having
pleased Lord Vasudeva, together with friends and relatives eat

with this payo-vrata to the fullest with dancing, playing various
instruments, reciting Vedic recitation, mantras, songs and
hymns praising Him, offering prayers, reading and telling the
stories of Him.
40. Oh greatly fortunate one, now worship the Almighty with a
pure state of mind and with devotion by following the payo-
vrata process. Oh good lady, Of all religious ceremonies, this
one is called 'sarva yagna'(the one covering all sacrifices) and is
the essence of all austerities. said Kashyapa Mahamuni to get
rid of his wife's distress.
41. Of all the austerities, this payo-vrata is the greatest one and it
tantamount to the doings of all the donations. The Supreme
Lord, being satisfied by you faithfully observing this vow
according to the rules, will therefore soon bestow upon you all
benedictions.
