## Chapter Fifty-Six

**801**

Just as a great jewel is born in the vast expanse of a great ocean of jewels, so too was the mighty immortal, Bala, born on a bed of soft sand. ||35||

He was instantly complete with the six perfections: speech, mind, body, senses, breath, and nourishment. ||36||

Adorned with clothes and ornaments, he arose from the bed called Sarvatobhadra, like a youth awakening from a blissful sleep. ||37||

As he looked around, he was greeted by the words of the goddesses and gods, filled with affection for him. ||38||

His body, radiating a brilliance surpassing even the moon and sun, filled him with joy. He pondered, "What is this most beautiful land? Who are these joyful people? Who am I? Where was I born? What dharma have I accumulated?" ||39-40||

The chief gods enlightened him, revealing the nature of existence and the knowledge of the cycles of birth and death. With this understanding, he quickly grasped the entirety of his past and future. ||41||

Knowing all his past lives and driven by the desire to help his brother, he received the blessings of the coronation, adorned with all the necessary accoutrements. Having gained the knowledge of the cycles of birth and death, he learned of Krishna's whereabouts and went to the land of Balukaprabha. Seeing his younger brother in distress, he too was filled with sorrow. ||42-43||

As the mighty, powerful god stood there, the inauspicious sounds, smells, tastes, and touches of that place transformed into auspiciousness. ||44||

He said, "Come, Krishna, I am your elder brother, Balarama, the lord of the Brahma-loka. I have come here to you." ||45||

As he attempted to lift Krishna and take him to the heavenly realm, his body melted away like butter. ||46||

Krishna then said, "Oh god, oh brother, what is the point of these futile efforts? Do you not know that all beings experience the fruits of their own actions?" ||47||

In this world, whatever karma one accumulates, that is what one experiences, according to the law of karma. ||48||
