Antakrud-Dasha-Ang-08 - varga-3, Chapter 8 Thus Devaki was sitting sad-minded. At the same time Shree Krushna vasudeva, bathed (until) decorated his body with clothes & ornaments, came quickly to motherDevaki for reverence of her feet. Then vasudeva Krushna saw and bowed down at the feet of Devaki. When he saw his mother sad and worried he enquired --
O mothers! Formerly whenever I came to touch your feet, you always became glad on seeing me, but O mothertoday why are you sad, worried and brooding? What is itsreason? Please tell me.
On this question Devaki began to say unto Krushna Vasudeva-o Son! Really the fact is this that I have given birth to seven sons exactly same in colour, form and body formation, but could not enjoy the childhood days and plays of any single son.
You also come to me after 6 months for touching my feet. Hence I am thinking that those mothers are fateful, who feed their sons by their breasts, talk sweetly to them. I'm hapless, meritless. Pondering over all this, l' sad, worried and brooding.
[...13] Meaning
Hearing this expression and knowing desire of mother, Shree Krushna Vasudeva said-- mother! Do not be sad, worried and brood; I shall so strive that my uterine brother will take birth.
Thus saying ShreeKrushna assured his mother Devaki with sweet, pleasing and agreeable words.
Thus assuring his mother, Shree Krushna came out of the palace and reached oratory (Pauashashala). As Abhaya Kumara propitiated his god accepting three days' fast penance, in the same way Shreekrushna Vasudeva, accepting three days' fast penance began to propitiate god Harinegamesi.
Having divine form & unique lustre god Harinegamesi, attracted by propiliation came and staying in sky became present before Krushna Vasudeva and spoke thusO beloved ofgods! I am god Harinegamesi. Why you have called me by eight meals fast austesity. Attracted by your penance I am present before you. Tell me your desire, in which good deed of yours can I help you? What is your wish?
Then krushna Vasudeva spoke to god with folded hands-0 beloved ofgods! My one uterine brother should take birth, it is my wish.
[...13] Commentary: -
Jahaa Abhao - Like Abhaya Kumara Shree Krushna Vasudeva propiliated god Harinegamesi and expressed his desire for a younger uterine brother.
Description of Abhaya Kumara, we get in Jnatasutra, Chapter 1, regarding the episode of Megha kumara. An intense desire arose in the head and heart of mother (really step mother of Abhaya Kumara) Dharini. While she was pregnant, that I may enjoy rainy season but it was not according to time, because at that time summer was prevailing. For fulfilling the intense desire of pregnant Dharini, Abhaya Kumar propitiated a god who was residing in Saudharma heaven, but was friend of his (Abhaya Kumara's) former life.
Method of propitiation is thus-Going to oratory (pausadhshala) accepted three days' fast penance, practising full celibacy done paushadha (a special vow), putting off all kinds of ornaments, spread a pallet-bed of grass. With eight meals fast putting mind in Harinegamesi god called him by heart. At the last day of three days' fast, seat of god moved. By clairvoyance he became aware of the fact, and then he came with fast speed and presented himself staying in sky, not touching the ground or remaining four fingers above from surface of earth.
