Translation
Vṛddhaśarmā, the King of Karūṣa, married Kuntī's sister Śrutadevā, and from her womb Dantavakra was born. Having been cursed by the sages headed by Sanaka, Dantavakra had formerly been born as the son of Diti named Hiraṇyākṣa.
Personal Guidance
Śrutadevā and Vṛddhaśarmā produce Dantavakra — formerly Hiraṇyākṣa, cursed by Sanaka. Some adversaries of the Lord are reincarnated demons playing out a multi-life karmic arc; their hostility is not random.
Reflection Questions
- Whose seemingly inexplicable hostility toward devotional life might have a longer back-story I am not seeing?
- How does that view soften my reaction to current opponents?
