## The Story of Somila

**45. This story is found in the *Upadeshamala* under the headings of *Fear*, *Instruction*, and *Circumstances*.**

In Dvaravati, Krishna's mother Devaki was nursing her son. A woman, seeing this, felt a pang of longing, thinking, "How fortunate are those women whose sons suckle at their breasts, their faces filled with innocent delight, their small hands grasping at their mothers' breasts. I, on the other hand, am unfortunate, for I have not been blessed with this." Krishna, seeing her sadness, asked her, "Mother, what is this?" She then told him her thoughts. He reassured her, saying, "I will fulfill your desires." He then worshipped the Lord. The Lord said, "Your son will be born as a celestial being, but due to his past karma, he will not stay in your home for long." Devaki, hearing this, accepted it.

Then, a dream of an elephant foretold the birth of a child. He was born in due course and named Gajasukumar. He grew up and was married by his parents to the daughter of a Brahmin named Somila. Gajasukumar, however, considered the world to be like a magic trick, and he found worldly pleasures to be like a prison. He lived in his home for a while, only because of his parents' wishes. Later, he revealed his true intentions to them. They understood his desire and, with the help of Krishna, freed him from his worldly attachments. He then went to the foot of the Lord Arishtanemi, where he learned various skills.

One day, Gajasukumar was found dead in a cremation ground in Dvaravati. Somila, who had come there by chance, saw him. He was enraged, thinking, "This wicked man has married my daughter and abandoned her." He then took some earth and covered Gajasukumar's head with it. He then threw burning coals on him, thinking, "This wicked man will surely go to hell for what he has done to me." As the fire burned, a white light, like a helper, appeared. The four karmas that bind us were burned away, and Gajasukumar attained pure knowledge. He then attained the state of *Saileeshi* (a state of liberation) and his lifespan ended. He then attained the supreme abode.

On the second day, Vishnu came to pay his respects to the Lord. He was greeted by the Lord and the sages. Vishnu then asked, "Where is Gajasukumar?" The Lord told him that Gajasukumar had fulfilled his purpose. Vishnu asked, "How?" The Lord then told him the story of Gajasukumar. Vishnu asked, "Who did this?" The Lord said, "The one who, upon seeing you, will split his head." Somila, upon entering, saw Vishnu and, filled with fear, ran away. His head split open due to the intense fear he felt upon seeing Krishna.

**28, 42, 46. This story of Chandrapradhyota is found in the commentary on the *Upadeshamala* under the headings of *War*, *Laughter*, and *Form*.**

In the city of Susumaranagara, Chandrapradhyota, the king, was enraged when his daughter Angaravati was rejected and expelled by a wandering ascetic. He sent a messenger to the ascetic, but the messenger was also rejected. The king, filled with anger, besieged the city. He was distressed and asked his astrologer, "What will happen now?" The astrologer said, "I will tell you after I have taken the omens." He then went to take the omens. He
