Reverential Devotion of Sons and Other Subordinates 325

When Pradyumna came back home after killing the Sambarasura,
and as soon as he saw his father, Krsna, before him, he became so
overjoyed that he himself could not understand his joy on that
occasion. This is an instance of success in separation. A similar satis-
faction was observed when Krsna returned from the battlefield of
Kuruksetra to His home at Dvaraka. All of His sons were so over-
joyed that, out of ecstasy, they repeatedly made many mistakes.
These mistakes were a sign of complete satisfaction.

Every day Pradyumna looked over Krsna’s lotus feet with tears in
his eyes. These signs of reverential devotion on the part of Pradyumna
can be described in the same way they have been described in the
case of other devotees.
