82 Srimad-Bhagavatam [Canto 6, Ch. 16

TRANSLATION

Because you died untimely, the balance of your lifetime still
remains. Therefore you may reenter your body and enjoy the
remainder of your life, surrounded by your friends and relatives.
Accept the royal throne and all the opulences given by your father.

TRANSLATION

By the mystic power of Narada Muni, the living entity reentered
his dead body for a short time and spoke in reply to Narada Muni’s
request. He said: According to the results of my fruitive activities,
I, the living being, transmigrate from one body to another, some-
times going to the species of the demigods, sometimes to the
species of lower animals, sometimes among the vegetables, and
sometimes to the human species. Therefore, in which birth were
these my mother and father? No one is actually my mother and
father. How can I accept these two people as my parents?
