Slokam 8
In the Flying vehicle was born nine daughters to Kardama and Devahuti. Although as he had indicated, prior to the marriage, Kardama wanted to retreat to the forest to pursue penance, he continued to stay to await the birth of the Paramathma.
An indication of the desire to quietly pursue the spiritual path in advanced years and retreat from worldly life, emerges very strongly in the Bhagavatham, and Bhagavath Gita. This was probably the way of life in those times, when there was no insecurity in departing from family and social connections.
May we consciously minimize our attachments to worldly pursuits and set our sights unwaveringly on the attainment of the Paramathma.
