TEXT No. 9

Ekada nirgatam gehat duhantim nishi gam pathi Sarpa adashat pada spristam kripanam kalachoditam


ENGLISH SYNONYMS

Ekada—once upon a time, Nirgatam—having gone out, Gehat—from home, Duhantim—for milking, Gam—the cow, Nishi-at night, Sarpa—snake, Adashat—bitten, Pada—on the leg, Spirstam—thus stroken, Krip nam—the poor woman, Kalachoditam—influenced by the supreme time.


TRANSLATION

Once upon a time the poor woman my mother while engaged in milking cow at night was on the road bitten by a serpent striking on the leg as it was influenced by the Supreme Time.


PURPORT

That is the way of dragging a sincere soul nearer to God. The poor boy was being looked after by the only affectionate mother and yet the mother was withdrawn from the world by the Supreme Will, in order to put the sincere soul completely at the mercy of the Lord. That was actually to happen in the life of Narada in His previous birth.
