This Vaiśya was a deplorable sinner. Still the men of Kāla (Yama) sent Vikuṇḍala to heaven without minding his sins. This story occurs in [Padma Purāṇa, Ādi Khaṇḍa, Chapter 30] , as follows: In days of old there lived a Vaiśya named Hemakuṇḍala in the great kingdom of Niṣadha. He was a devotee and worshipper of devas and Brāhmaṇas. He carried on trade and agriculture and by plundering he amassed much wealth. Hemakuṇḍala grew old. He thought about the frailty of life and spent a sixth part of his wealth for charitable purposes. For remission of the sins committed throughout the whole of his life, he gave alms as stipulated in the Purāṇas. After entrusting the family affairs to his sons Śrīkuṇḍala and Vikuṇḍala, he went to the forests for penance. His sons were young. They turned away from righteous ways and followed a path of pleasures and wickedness. They refused to pay any heed to the advice of their elders. Drinking and going to other women became their routine. Within a short time they lost their wealth. They had nothing to eat. Their friends and favourites all discarded them. Being forsaken by every body, they engaged themselves in theft or robbery. They were afraid of the king and the people, and so they shifted to the forest. They lived by hunting. At this time the elder brother was caught by a tiger. The younger brother was bitten by a snake. Thus, on the same day, both sinners met with death. The messengers of Yama took both of them to the world of Yama. According to the order of King Dharma, Vikuṇḍala got heaven and Śrī Kuṇḍala got hell. Vikuṇḍala who was glad at obtaining heaven asked the men of Yama on the way, why he was given heaven. They replied, “There was a Brahmin who was wellversed in all branches of knowledge. He was the son of Harimitra. His hermitage was on the southern bank of Yamunā. Yourself and the Brahmin became friends in the forest. Because of that friendship you were enabled to take bath in two Māgha months in the holy waters of Kālindī which is capable of washing all the sins away. By the first Māgha bath you got remission of your sins. By the second Māgha-bath you became eligible for the attainment of heaven.” विकुण्डल A Sanskrit English Dictionary | Sanskrit English Rate this meaning Thank you! 👍 वि—कुण्डल mfn. mfn. having no earrings, [Hariv.] ROOTS:वि कुण्डलवि—कुण्डल m. m.N. of a man, [Cat.] ROOTS:वि कुण्डल Related Words विकुण्डल હિલાલ્ શુક્લ પક્ષની શરુના ત્રણ-ચાર દિવસનો મુખ્યત ନବୀକରଣଯୋଗ୍ୟ ନୂଆ ବା વાહિની લોકોનો એ સમૂહ જેની પાસે પ્રભાવી કાર્યો કરવાની શક્તિ કે સર્જરી એ શાસ્ત્ર જેમાં શરીરના ન્યાસલેખ તે પાત્ર કે કાગળ જેમાં કોઇ વસ્તુને બખૂબી સારી રીતે:"તેણે પોતાની જવાબદારી ਆੜਤੀ ਅਪੂਰਨ ਨੂੰ ਪੂਰਨ ਕਰਨ ਵਾਲਾ బొప్పాయిచెట్టు. అది ఒక लोरसोर जायै जाय फेंजानाय नङा एबा जाय गंग्लायथाव नङा:"सिकन्दरनि खाथियाव पोरसा गोरा जायो आनाव सोरनिबा बिजिरनायाव बिनि बिमानि फिसाजो एबा मादै भाजप भाजपाची मजुरी:"पसरकार रोटयांची भाजणी म्हूण धा रुपया मागता नागरिकता कुनै स्थान ३।। कोटी foreign exchange foreign exchange assets foreign exchange ban foreign exchange broker foreign exchange business foreign exchange control foreign exchange crisis foreign exchange dealer's association of india foreign exchange liabilities foreign exchange loans foreign exchange market foreign exchange rate foreign exchange regulations foreign exchange reserve foreign exchange reserves foreign exchange risk foreign exchange transactions foreign goods foreign government foreign henna foreign importer foreign income foreign incorporated bank foreign instrument foreign investment foreign judgment foreign jurisdiction foreign law foreign loan foreign mail foreign market foreign matter foreign minister foreign mission foreign nationals of indian origin foreignness foreign object foreign office foreign owned brokerage foreign parties foreign periodical foreign policy foreign port foreign possessions foreign post office foreign public debt office foreign publid debt foreign remittance foreign ruler foreign section foreign securities foreign service foreign state foreign tariff schedule foreign tourist foreign trade foreign trade multiplier foreign trade policy foreign trade register foreign trade zone foreign travel scheme foreign value payable money order foreign venture foreimagine fore-imagine forejudge fore-judge foreknow fore-know foreknowledge foreknown forel foreland foreland shelf forelimb fore limb forelock foreman foreman cum mechanical supervisor foreman engineer foremanship foremast fore-mentioned foremilk foremost forename Folder Page Word/Phrase Person Comments | अभिप्राय Comments written here will be public after appropriate moderation.
