SUMMARY:
Hearing the news that their son had renounced everything and that with a firm
mind to get ordained into sainthood, he was staying with Achyutapreksha,
parents of Vasudeva, who were very much attached to their son, arrived at
Rajatapeethapura to see Vasudeva, albeit with a very heart and nostalgia.

SUMMARY:
Telling their son “Dear child, it isn’t right on your part to embrace sainthood
when your aged and orphaned parents are still alive,” the duo revolved around
and prostrated before him.

SUMMARY:
“What a surprise! It isn’t right for elders to prostrate before young ones. It’s
very clear now that you have both saluted me. It means that Lor Sri Hari has
himself prompted you to permit me,” Vasudeva told his parents.
Traditionally,
elders should never salute youngsters especially parents should not salute
their children. However, if the son has become a saint, the father alone can
salute the son. With the Madhyageha couple having saluted Vasudeva, it was as
good as them having inadvertently agreed to Vasudeva becoming a saint.

SUMMARY:
Unaware of what to reply, Madhyageha requested his son once again to reverse
his decision; he (Madhyageha) saluted Achyutapreksha; he went to the house of
Achyutapreksha, along with his wife and spent every moment there like a Kalpa,
remembering the lotus-like face of his son.
