condemned; pitra—by his father; sneham—affection; apohya—giving
up; vai—indeed; yoga-aisvaryena—by mystic power; balan tan—all
those boys (thrown in the water and killed); darsayitué—after again

TRANSLATION
Because Asamajijasa engaged in such abominable activities, his
father gave up affection for him and had him exiled. Then
Asamajijasa exhibited his mystic power by reviving the boys and
showing them to the King and their parents. After this,
Asamaiijasa left Ayodhya.
PURPORT
Asamaiijasa was a j@ti-smara; because of his mystic power, he did not
forget his previous consciousness. Thus he could give life to the dead. By
exhibiting wonderful activities in relation to the dead children, he cer-
tainly attracted the attention of the King and the people in general. Then
he left that place immediately.
