replied, “Mother, you have brought me holding my hand, so I have come here. You have also married me in the witness of the people." Satyabhama asked the people about it. People told the fact. Hearing this, she became sad and being disappointed she went to her palace. As it is said, "One who does the labour can't taste its fruit." The teeth chews and tongue tastes. Satyabhama tried to marry 99 princess to Bhiruk, but Shamb married them. It happens only what nature admits.
MENTAL BOWING OF SHAMBKUMAR
Once, as kevalgyani (omniscient) Lord Neminath was wandering from place to place, he came to Dwarika. Krishnajee called Shamb and all his sons and announced that one who will bow first to Lord Neminath would be awarded with his best horse Darp. With the temptation of getting the horse, Abhavya (one who is ineligeble for salvation) Palakkumar went to him and bowed him first at night. Shamb got up when it was dawn, and moved 8 steps in the direction of Lord Neminath. Then he bowed him reciting Namutthunam (holy verse). Palak, then hurried to Krishnajee and demanded for the horse. Krishnajee went to Lord Neminath, bowed him and asked that who had bowed him first. Lord answered that with the temptation of taking the horse and without thinking for Non-violence Palak came to him first at night. Abhavya souls like Palak do Dharma (holy activities) for personal selfishness, but Shambkumar thought that there would be voilence if he bowed him at night. So he, with politeness and being afraid of sin bowed him mentally in the morning. His soul will achieve salvation in that birth itself. Hearing the words of Lord Neminath, Krishnajee rewarded the horse to Shamb. Thus, from this incident one should learn a lesson to climb up the hill only after sunrise to take care of non-violence. Now-a-days, people hurrily climb up the hill before sunrise, as if they were the participants in a horse race.
