## Chapter Sixty-Three
The chariot, having crossed the extremely uneven bank, broke down on the even path. The god, having joined it, was again showing it to the Siriṇa, but it was not getting fixed. || 62 ||
Siriṇa said, "O brother! It is a great wonder that your chariot did not break down on the uneven bank of the mountain, but it broke down on the even path. Now, how is it possible for it to be fixed again in this birth? Your effort to fix it is in vain." || 63 ||
The wise god, who was a witness to the end of the battle of the Mahābhārata, replied, "How can he rise again in this birth, who, being struck by the arrow released from the bow held by Jarāsandha, fell down merely by the impact of the arrow?" || 64 ||
Saying this, the god started planting a delicate lotus on the rocky ground where there was no water. Seeing this, Siriṇa asked, "How can a lotus grow on the rocky ground?" || 65 ||
The god replied, "How can Krishna be born in a lifeless body?" After answering, he started watering a dry tree. Siriṇa again asked, "Brother! What is the benefit of watering a dry tree?" The god replied, "What is the benefit of bathing Krishna, who is dead?" Then, the god started feeding grass and water to a dead bull. Seeing this, Siriṇa again asked, "O fool! What is the benefit of feeding grass and water to this dead body?" The god replied, "What is the benefit of feeding Krishna, who is dead?" In this way, the god explained to Siriṇa with great difficulty. || 66 ||
Having understood the truth, Siriṇa said, "Krishna is truly lifeless. O noble human! What you are saying is true, there is no other truth in this; O virtuous man! O worthy one! You have spoken well." || 67 ||
The god replied, "Everything that has happened here was already known to Neminātha, even though you know the state of being. You have wasted six months carrying Krishna's body in vain." || 68 ||
He came near Baldeva for addressing him. || 61 ||
