After killing kamsa, krishNa went straight to his parents dhEvaki and vasudhEva. Both of them became very joyful on seeing krishNa. krishNa broke their shackles and eliminated their sorrow. krishNa and balarAma bowed at their parents.
dhEvakip pirAtti felt very sorrowful thinking about the long separation from krishNa. To have that sorrow eliminated, krishNa showed great love towards her. Due to the motherly affection, her bosoms started producing milk naturally and krishNa accepted it too, This incident is explained in guru paramparA prabhAvam, as narrated by parASara bhattar to nanjIyar.
AzhwArs have enjoyed how krishNa eliminated his parents’ sorrows in many pAsurams. thirumangai AzhwAr in his periya thirumozhi says “thandhai kAlil peru vilangu thAL avizha naLLirutkaN vandha endhai perumAnAr” (My great lord arrived in the dark night to have the huge shackles on his father’s feet break) and “thandhai kAlil vilangaRa vandhu thOnRiya thOnRal” (The great lord who incarnated to have the shackles on his father break). kulaSEkara AzhwAr in his perumAL thirumozhi sings in the mood of dhEvakip pirAtti in “Alai nIL karumbu” decad, where she is lamenting on missing out on the childhood pastimes of krishNa.
Essence in this incident:
- Even if one is parent for bhagavAn in this samsAram, one cannot avoid sorrows. But even for them, it is bhagavAn who eliminates the sorrows.
- Though there is a delay from bhagavAn in helping his devotees, he will certainly protect them at the right time.
