The agony in which you are involved is also false. The body is certainly not ans object for becoming sorry about. The body is subject to destruction again and again.
The soul alone is not subject to birth and is immortal. It is never distro-yed. You should not be sorrowful for the distruction of the body.
This physical body composed of five physical substances becomes ultimatelyre-converted into those five substances. Your father-muni Mahabal has attained self-realisation. They have become free from the miseries of birth and death. You should therefore be pleased on the contrary.

The sense of false allurement and agony of Shatbal and Sahasrabal removed. Both of them became the trav ellers of the path of meditation on God and religious practices.
