There was mutual attachment, and genuine love between Tripriştha Vasudéya, and his elder brother Acala Baladéva, and the completeness of enjoyments, and of the means of sachenjoyments for both of them, was similar, but their previous Karmas were different, and they end in different forms during this Bhava. Tripristha Vasudeva goes to the Seventh hell, while Acala Baladeva after renouncing the world, leads the life of a genuine ascetic, and eventually attains Final Emancipation by the practice of a regular, spotless, disinterested, religious life. One brother goes to hell, and the other attalos Final Emancipation. Ah ! the strangeness of events ! Kinship is not useful in the bondage or diasolution of Karmas, but the pure or impure development of the Soul, is only responsible for them,
