Having been favored by the causeless mercy of the Supreme Personality of Godhead and having regained his original form, King Hūhū circumambulated the Lord and offered his obeisances. Then, in the presence of all the demigods, headed by Brahmā, he returned to Gandharvaloka. He had been freed of all sinful reactions.

Personal Guidance
Freed of all sinful reactions, King Hūhū circumambulates the Lord and returns to Gandharvaloka. Even those temporarily fallen into low forms can be fully restored. Karmic dead-ends are not as final as they feel; the Lord's mercy reopens what life seemed to have closed.
Reflection Questions
  • Where do I privately believe my past has made me beyond restoration?
  • What act of circumambulation or thanksgiving might mark my own emergence from a 'crocodile life'?
