Chapter 27:
Attack by Candavega on the City of King
Purañjana;
the Character of Kâlakanyâ
(1) Nârada said: 'Purañjana's
wife
by means of these love
games completely bringing her
husband under her control, oh great
King, thus enjoyed all the
satisfaction she gave him.
Chapter 28: Purañjana Becomes a Woman in his Next Life
(23) Purañjana was by the Yavanas restrained
like an animal and taken to
their abode,
being followed by his deeply
aggrieved attendants
who
were lost in tears.
Chapter 29: The conversation of Nârada and King
Prâcinabarhi
(29) Sometimes
one
is
a
man,
sometimes
a
woman
and then one is neither of both. Then
one has lost one's mind and then again one is a human being, a
beast or a god. One is born according to the karma one has with the
modes of
nature.
(60) Nârada
said: 'From the
karma a person engages in, the consequences are to be faced
in a next life, because [having died, being in one's unembodied state] nothing
changes in that
what belongs to him:
his proof of character
[the subtle body or linga] and his mind about it stay the same.
Chapter 30: The Activities of the Pracetâs
(28) You who in Your
compassion by Your expansions
[and teachers] are visible to the humble devotees, are by one's devotional
service -
with [the
necessary respect of]
time - always remembered as such [ - by Your beautiful embodiment and not so
much by
thousands of mantras -], oh destroyer
of all inauspiciousness.
Chapter 31: Nârada Instructs the
Pracetâs
(8) Maitreya said:
'Thus petitioned by the
Pracetâs, the kings received an answer from the great
Nârada
who,
with his mind always being absorbed in thoughts about
the Lord Praised in the Verses, was of the greatest
wisdom.
