In the Padma Purana, it is said that the sin, adorned with a Kundala, is firmly established. I will bring upon him the suffering that is most appropriate for him. ||11|| Thinking thus, the Asura, due to the influence of his past karma, became very wealthy and, rubbing his hands together, protected the fetus. ||119|| Knowing this, Gautama Swami says, "O King! It is not right to cause suffering to anyone, for in due time, that suffering will return to oneself." ||120|| ... Then, in due time, Queen Videha gave birth to a son and a daughter, a pair of children. As soon as they were born, the Asura abducted the son. ||121|| He first thought, "I will crush this Kundala-adorned creature on a stone and kill him." Then, after a while, he began to think. ||122|| "Fie on the thoughts I have had! How can a wise man do an act that increases the cycle of birth and death?" ||123|| In a previous life, when I was a Shraman, free from all beginnings and carrying the burden of tapas, I did not even harm a blade of grass. ||124|| By the grace of my Guru, I have attained such purity of Dharma. How can I now commit such a sin? ||125|| Even a small amount of accumulated sin grows immensely, causing the being immersed in the ocean of Samsara to burn with suffering for a long time. ||126|| But for one whose mind is free from guilt, who is compassionate, and who keeps his actions in check, the jewel of liberation is held in his hand. ||127|| Thinking thus, compassion arose in his heart, and he abandoned the thought of killing the child. He adorned him with Kundalas, holders of radiant rays, in his ears. ||128|| Then, the Deva imparted the Parnaldhvi Vidya to the child, left him in a safe place, and went to his desired destination. ||129||
