Shiva -Krishna Abheda Bhakti Stuti done by Parashurama
There is a legend in this chapter of the Brahmanda Purana. In which
Parashurama praises Shiva-Parvati and Radha-Krishna and ends by saying:
ब्रह्माण्डपुराणम्/मध्यभागः/अध्यायः ४३

राम उवाच
जन्मान्तरसहस्रेषु येषु येषु व्रजाम्यहम् ॥ २,४३.२३ ॥
कृष्णयोर्भवयोर्भक्तो भविष्यामीति देहि मे ।
अभेदेन च पश्यामि कृष्णौ चापि भवौ तथा ॥ २,४३.२४ ॥
In whatever birth I will be a devotee of Lord Shiva and Lord Krishna. I
love both these couples in the vision of non-difference. That is, the
divine couple Shiva-Parvati is non-different from the divine couple:
Radha-Krishna.
Earlier in this chapter the premise of Advaita was stated:
वसिष्ठ उवाच
एवं सुस्निग्धचित्तेषु तेषु तिष्ठत्सु भूपते ।
भवान्युत्संगतो रामः समुत्थाय कृताजलिः ॥ २,४३.१ ॥
तुष्टाव प्रयतो भूत्वा निर्विशेषं सविशेषवत् ।
अद्वयं द्वैतमापन्नं निर्गुणं सगुणात्मकम् ॥ २,४३.२ ॥
This praise is composed of what is essentially attributeless as attributed,
what is non-dual as having duality and nirguna as sugna. (It is clear that
nirguna here does not mean 'blameless').
It is enchanting that this hymn is in a beautiful poetic style.
