Mukti· LiberationKṛṣṇa Removes the Remaining Sinful Reactions
“In their third birth, the same Jaya and Vijaya appeared in a family of kṣatriyas as your cousins, the sons of your aunt. Because Lord Kṛṣṇa has struck them with His disc, all their sinful reactions have been destroyed, and now they are free from the curse.”
What the purport teaches
- In their last birth, Jaya and Vijaya entered an exalted kṣatriya family rather than becoming demons or Rākṣasas. They became first cousins of Lord Kṛṣṇa.
- By personally killing them with His disc, Lord Kṛṣṇa destroyed the sinful reactions remaining because of the brāhmaṇas’ curse.
- Nārada Muni explained that Śiśupāla’s entry into Kṛṣṇa’s body was actually his return to Vaikuṇṭhaloka as the Lord’s associate.
