Radhe Krishna To all,
The Yati asks him to embrace sanyasa. He refuses (adamantly). But, later on he does take up sanyasa! What does one understand from this? If the Mahan says something he makes him do it later. Voluntarily he takes up sanyasa and goes behind the Yati though now he refuses. He says, "Bless me with a child."
As Atma deva was adamant the Yati reads his fate. He says, "You were not destined to have a child the
past seven janmas and cannot have one in the seven janmas to come." Hearing this Atma deva began to lament. Since he wept bitterly the Yati blessed him with a mango and said, "Give this to your wife. You will have a child."
Atma deva went home straight and gave it to his wife.
She was not too happy about it. She thought, "Who asked this Brahmin to seek such a boon?" She was indeed a 'deergha darshi' (one who can see the future)! Who was to undergo pregnancy that is painful?
It would be painful if the child does not study well. Right from conception, all through the life of the child, the parents are worried about its welfare. When a lady in pregnancy visits some home and happens to see a mentally retarded child there, she would be greatly perturbed about the state of her own yet-to-be born child. Once the child is born she worries that the child should be blessed with normal physical faculties; then she wishes the child to be intelligent, beautiful. If all these do come about there would be the worry that the child should be 'anukoola' (supportive [to the parents]). It goes on like this for a man. There is no end to it.
So, Atma deva's wife thought, 'Who is to suffer all these? This Brahmin has sought such a
boon from someone. Did I desire all these?" She sent the Brahmin away on pilgrimage. She threw away the mango into the drum in which the cow is fed with water. The cow that ate the mango gave birth to a human child with the ears of a cow. So, the child was named Gokarna & Atma deva's wife who through the mango brought home the baby born to her sister. She named the child 'Dhundhukari'
