Importance of the Fifteenth Chapter of Bhagwat Gita. (Ch-15)
There was a king named Kripan Narsingh in Gaud Desh. He was a great warrior. He even defeated devtas by using his powerful sword. His Senapati was equally a strong warrior whose name was Sarabh Merudand. Although he was a strong man, but was very greedy.
Once he decided that he would kill the King and his sons and would become a King. But before he could fulfill his wish he died of Cholera. Due to his sinful thoughts, he was born as a strong horse in Sindhu Desh. His power-packed body was an attraction to prospective buyers. The horse was purchased by a Vaishya buyer from Sindhu Desh. The buyer decided to sell the horse to the King Narsingh of Gaud Desh. He traveled all the way to that country to sell his horse.
He went to the King and narrated the superior quality of this horse(previously Senapati). The experts in the King's court also gave a favorable response toward's purchasing the horse. The horse was purchased by the King. He realized that the horse had the qualities of Indra's horse named Uchh shravah. Once the King went on a hunting expedition. He chased his horse towards a herd of deers. He galloped away from his soldiers in chasing this herd. After traveling far away he felt thirsty. So he dismounted his horse and tied it to a tree and climbed on a rock. At the same time, a stray leaf came flying towards that rock. A half shloka of the fifteenth chapter of Gita was written on it. He started reading it loudly. Suddenly his horse fell down and was relieved from the horse form.
A divine Vimaan came to take him to Vishnulok. The King was baffled. He climbed the Rock further and noticed an Ashram on the hilltop. He went there. The King paid respect to the Tapasvi's and then narrated the strange incident that he had witnessed to the tapasvi Vishnusharma. The ascetic tapasvi who could make out the past present and future of anything, informed him about the previous birth of the horse and why had he achieved Moksha? It was not a miracle that the horse went to Vishnudham but it was due to the King reading aloud the fifteenth chapter of Gita that the horse was relieved of the sins of his previous birth. Meanwhile, the King's soldiers also came to the Ashram searching for the King.
King Narsingh came back to his Kingdom and continued reading the fifteenth Gita chapter. Ultimately he too attained Moksha.
The reading of the fifteenth chapter relieves you of past sins and even listening to it helps you attain Moksha.
