"When Vamana became an Avatara I moved round the earth
twenty one times. I threw plants into the Sea which yielded Amrita
by churning. Now I am old." Ramayana Kishkindha Kanda
Chap. 65-32.
While Rama was about to ascend to heaven he addressed
the old Jambavat, as a son of Brahma, and asked him to stay behind
till the approach of Kali Uttara Kanda. Chap. 121-34.
Jambavat represents a very old religious movement, which was
out of date even in Rama's time.
Hiranyagarbha Upasana became old and a thing of the past.
But however hoary it might be with years, it was holy with the tradi-
tions of the Vedas and) though Krishna had no direct hand in its dis-
appearance, people thought the disappearance was the outcome of
His Avatarship To save His reputation, Krishna restored the jewel
from Jambavat, but it could not long remain in the hands of Satrajit.
Vedic Upasana did survive. But it survived only in Vedic SandhyA
and Gayatri, which were represented by Akrura*
Krishna was wedded to Jambavat?, the spiritual energy of
Mahal.
Satya-bhama is the spiritual energy of Ahankark. She- holds
the Vina, with the seven notes of differentiation. The Vedas pro-
ceed from these notes and also all departments of knowledge, Satya-
bhama is the goddess of learning.
There is not much to say about the five other principal wives.
The last of these wives, Lakshana, represents the spiritual
energy of earth. Coming down to earth, we proceed to Naraka, son
of Earth. The word Naraka literally means Hell, hence gross ma-
teriality. We have found that the Purana writers place Naraka below
the Patalas. Sixteen thousand girls representing all earthly and
material energies had been snatched away by Naraka. They all
became wedded to Sri Krishna.
