Sixty-first Chapter
Saluting the Jinesvara, Devaki, with folded hands, asked with humility, "O Bhagavan, today two beautiful Muni couples entered my house and ate three times. O Bhagavan, when the time for Muni's meal is one and they eat only once, why do they enter the same house many times? " [1-3]
"Or, it may be that it was a couple of three Munis, and due to their extreme similarity, I was unable to see them. But it is certain that I developed affection for them as if they were my sons." [4]
Hearing this, the Lord said, "These six Munis are your sons, and you gave birth to them as three couples before Krishna." [5]
"They were protected by Deva from Kansa and raised as sons by Sudrishti Seth and Alaka Sethani in Bhadrailpur." [6]
"Having heard the Dharma, all of them together attained my discipleship, became Munis, and will attain Siddhi in this very birth by destroying their karmas." [7]
"The affection you had for them was due to their being your children, which is right, because love exists for all righteous people, what to say of those who are righteous and your sons?" [8]
Then, Devaki, satisfied, saluted those Muni sons, and Krishna and all the Yadavas, bowing down, praised them. [9]
Then, Satyabhama, the queen of Krishna, saluted the Jinesvara and asked about her previous birth. In response, the Lord, the possessor of divine eyes and Kevala Jnana, spoke of her previous birth in front of the Yadavas and Devas. [10]
Previously, in Bhadrailpur, there lived a Brahmin named Mundashalayan, the son of Marichi Brahmin and Kapila Brahmani, who was skilled in composing poetry and considered himself a scholar. [11]
