226 Krsna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead

the same milk had been sucked by Lord Krsna. As such, the babies who
sucked the breast of Devakiji, which had touched the body of Lord Krsna,
immediately became self-realized persons. The babies therefore began to
offer their obeisances unto Lord Krsna, Balarama, their father Vasudeva,
and mother Devaki. After this, they were immediately transferred to their
respective heavenly planets.

After they departed, Devaki became stunned with wonder that her dead
children had come back and had again been transferred to their respective
planets. She could adjust the events only by thinking of Lord Krsna’s
pastimes, in which, because Lord Krsna’s potencies are all inconceivable,
anything wonderful can be performed. Without accepting the inconceivable,
unlimited potencies of the Lord, one cannot understand that Lord Krsna
is the Supreme Soul. By His unlimited potencies, He performs unlimited
pastimes also, and no one can describe them in full nor can anyone know
them all. Sita Gosvami, speaking Srimad-Bhdgavatam before the sages of
Naimisaranya, headed by Saunaka Rsi, gave his verdict in this connection
as follows.

“Great sages, please understand that the transcendental pastimes of
Lord Krsna are all eternal. They are not ordinary narrations of historical
incidences. Such narrations are identical with the Supreme Personality of
Godhead Himself. Anyone, therefore, who hears such narrations of the
Lord’s pastimes becomes immediately freed from the contamination of
material existence. And those who are pure devotees enjoy these narrations
as nectar entering into their ears.” Such narrations were described by
Sukadeva Gosvami, the exalted son of Vyasadeva, and anyone who hears
them, as well as anyone who describes them for the hearing of others,
becomes Krsna conscious. And it is only the Krsna conscious persons who
become eligible for going back home, back to Godhead.

Thus ends the Bhaktivedanta purport of the Second Volume, Thirtieth
Chapter, of Krsna, “Spiritual Instruction for Vasudeva and Return of the
Six Dead Sons of Devaki by Lord Krsna.”
