9. In the commentary on the Sri Kalpa Sutra, the story of Virakadeva is mentioned in the context of hatred.
In a certain city, the wife of a certain king, Viraka, named Vanamala, was very beautiful. She was kept in the inner palace. The king was very sad because of her separation. He would see anyone and say, "Vanamala, Vanamala." In this way, he would wander around the city surrounded by many people who were curious. He was seen by the king playing with Vanamala. Then, both of them thought that they had done something wrong. They died instantly due to a lightning strike and were reborn together in the Hari Varsha region. When the king heard that they were dead, he became cautious and said, "Oh, the sin of the sinners is attached to them." Then, he became detached and practiced austerities and became a recluse. He saw them with his divine knowledge and thought, "Oh, these two enemies of mine are enjoying happiness together and will become gods. Therefore, I will make them fall into hell." With his power, he brought them here in a shrunken form. He gave them the kingdom and taught them seven vices. Then, they went to hell. His lineage was Hari Vasa. Here, the bringing of the couple here, the shrinking of their bodies, the teaching of the vices, and the going to hell, all are amazing.

The charioteer said, "Why are you angry, O lord? Are you wasting time?" ||4||
Krishna said, "This is your anger now, but now be happy. The water is scarce in this country." ||5||
The charioteer thought, "He is lying. He is tired and wants to sleep. He is thinking about sleeping." ||6||
Krishna got up and went to Krishna. There were flies around Krishna. He was confused and covered his face. ||7||
Then, he saw the blood of the slain Kansa and the wounds on his feet. ||8||
