Note – here, Mother Devahoothi realizes that her son Lord Kapila is none other than the Supreme Knowledge. You can attain Knowledge only through Bhagavan, because HE is the only source of Knowledge!

3.33.9 – 27

Maithreya continues, “as Mother Devahoothi praised her son Lord Kapila, He replied to her in words that stammered due to love for His mother”.

The Lord assured her that she would attain the Supreme by merely following His words of advice. He says, “this is an easy path to tread. It was practised and advised by many Acharyas. Thos who do not know this Knowledge, will fall into the cycle of births and deaths again and again”.

Saying thus, taking His mother’s permission, Lord Kapila left that place.

Bhagavatham says that the mother was sad like a mother cow that was separated from her calf. It shows how difficult it is, for even great people like Devahoohti, to handle separation from the dear ones. Still she continued her penance with commitment. Even the most beautiful place “Bindu Saras” where she lived, could not attract her any more.
