Through the womb of another wife, Bṛhadratha begot two halves of a son. When the mother saw those two halves she rejected them, but later a she-demon named Jarā playfully joined them and said, “Come to life, come to life!” Thus the son named Jarāsandha was born.

Translation

Through the womb of another wife, Bṛhadratha begot two halves of a son. The mother rejected them, but later a she-demon named Jarā playfully joined them and said, "Come to life, come to life!" Thus the son named Jarāsandha was born. Jarā was a Rākṣasī.

Personal Guidance

Bṛhadratha begets a son in two halves; the mother rejects them, but the she-demon Jarā playfully joins them and Jarāsandha is born. Sometimes the most dangerous future figures are reassembled by mercy a mother could not extend.

Reflection Questions

Where am I refusing to reassemble what looks broken, and another's mercy is having to do my work?
What 'two halves' in my life need joining before someone outside has to do it?
