(Bhagavatham 5.6.9 – 5.6.19)

Rishabha’s story concludes…

Rishabha ends His life in a very unusual way. It is impossible for any one to imitate His life.

The peak of renunciation displayed by the Lord in Rishabha’s form was dangerous to imitate too, as an ignorant person can never understand and practise it.

Priyavratha’s lineage was blessed with the birth of Lord Rishabha who, with His unparallel compassion reached to the miserable masses and showed the way out of misery.

Devotion without any demands or expectations is the sublime state any one can achieve. The one who is immersed in Bhakthi (devotion) is not even bothered about Mukthi (liberation).

Sree Suka tells Parikshith here, “Lord Krishna was always with Pandavas as an advisor, friend, protector and even as a servant! That was His will. But, do not think He is equally available to all with His Blessings”.

Bhagavatham says that, the Lord may give you Mukthi  if you constantly surrender to Him, but Bhakthi is very rare to get.
