24) HARIKESHIBALI TOOK BIRTH m an ANCESTRY OF EXECUTIONER
After initiation, Somdev Brahmana had pride in his ancestry. He observed fasts, worships & devotions & relieved himself from many karmas. He did not confess for the false pride of his caste & ancestry. By the rise of its consequence, he had to take birth as Harikeshibala, in an ancestry of downtrodden caste of executioners. Harikeshibala accepted asceticism & after meditation, attained ultimate spiritual knowledge & salvation too.
