Text 23] The Activities of Maharaja Agnidhra 107

got; yatra—where; pitarah—the forefathers; mdaddayante—take
pleasure.

TRANSLATION

After Parvacitti’s departure, King Agnidhra, his lusty desires
not at all satisfied, always thought of her. Therefore, in accordance
with the Vedic injunctions, the King, after his death, was pro-
moted to the same planet as his celestial wife. That planet, which is
called Pitrloka, is where the pitas, the forefathers, live in great

delight.

PURPORT

If one always thinks of something, he certainly gets a related body
after death. Maharaja Agnidhra was always thinking of Pitrloka, the
place where his wife had returned. Therefore after his death he achieved
that same planet, probably to live with her again. Bhagavad-gitd also
says:

yam yam vapi smaran bhavam
tyajaty ante kalevaram
tam tam evaiti kaunteya

sada tad-bhdva-bhdavitah

“Whatever state of being one remembers when he quits his body, that
state he will attain without fail.” (Bg. 8.6) We can naturally conclude
that if we always think of Krsna or become fully Krsna conscious, we can
be promoted to the planet of Goloka Vrndavana, where Krsna eternally
lives.
