In their former birth, these two sons, known as Nalakivara and
Manigriva, were extremely opulent and fortunate. But because of
pride and false prestige, they did not care about anyone, and thus
Narada Muni cursed them to become trees.
Thus end the Bhaktivedanta purports of the Tenth Canto, Ninth
Chapter, of the Srimad-Bhagavatam, entitled “Mother Yasoda Binds Lord
Krsna.”
