2 Srimad-Bhagavatam [Canto 10, Ch. 6

Meanwhile, Nanda and his associates the cowherd men returned from
Mathura, and when they saw the great dead body of Pitana, they were
struck with wonder. Everyone was astonished that Vasudeva had foretold
this mishap, and they praised Vasudeva for his power of foresight. The
inhabitants of Vraja cut the gigantic body of Pitana into pieces, but be-
cause Krsna had sucked her breast, she had been freed from all sins, and
therefore when the cowherd men burned the pieces of her body in a fire,
the smoke filled the air with a very pleasing fragrance. Ultimately, al-
though Pitafia had desired to kill Krsna, she attained the Lord’s abode.
From this incident we gain the instruction that if one is attached to Krsna
somehow or other, even as an enemy, one ultimately attains success.
What then is to be said of devotees who are naturally attached to Krsna in
love? When the inhabitants of Vraja heard about the killing of Pitana
and the welfare of the child, they were very much satisfied. Nanda
Maharaja took the baby Krsna on his lap and was filled with satisfaction.
