His last moments were terrible and the last thought was about his wife only.

So, naturally his next birth was as a woman, Vidarbhi, the daughter of King Vidarbha. What is awaiting him in the new life time? Will he attain liberation now?  We will see…

Note – the last days of Puranjana sends a chilling shiver to the readers of Srimad Bhagavatham. Prana leaves Puranjana’s body after undergoing such a terrible struggle.

The average human beings, who do not think about anything other than worldly relations and attachments, are bound to face such an end to their lives.

They do not realize that they have to leave all their attachments and possessions, acquired all through their life time, at the time of death.

Life comes from void and ends in void. When you get stuck up in the mid way, pain becomes inevitable.

Puranjana’s entire life was spent or rather wasted for his wife and family. At the end what did he gain? His attachments could not help him at the time of death.
