As the gathering drew to a close, Kṛṣṇa gently spoke: “Rise, all dear ones, and return to your own abodes.” Yet Sāmba lingered, trembling, his hands joined in reverent salutation. At that moment, Kṛṣṇa began to explain the situation in detail to the sage Nārada, revealing that there is no moment, no privacy, and no concealment in action. Kṛṣṇa described how some of the women wore a single garment, some were fair, some dark, but all possessed an excellent complexion. Upon seeing a handsome man, O best of sages, they were stirred. Sāmba himself was exceedingly proud, radiant, righteous, and endowed with great virtues. Nārada honored Hari’s words, listening intently. Kṛṣṇa compared the situation: just as a chariot cannot move with only one wheel, so too, by the mere glance of a man with clear vision, these women became fulfilled in their purpose. Upon seeing Sāmba, all the women were afflicted by desire, even without physical contact. Thus, Kṛṣṇa explained, Sāmba, with wicked intent, had become the destroyer of their women. Kṛṣṇa continued, saying he had heard this repeatedly from the worlds and from the Brahmarṣis. He told Nārada, “You, who are worthy here, have heard from me what is beneficial to you, O one whose nature is known to me.” Then, in his anger, Kṛṣṇa cursed Sāmba: “You shall become deformed.” From Sāmba’s body, blood would always ooze, accompanied by a foul smell. Yet, it was Nārada alone who accomplished the destruction of Sāmba’s curse. Nārada addressed Sāmba: “O mighty-armed one, listen, son of Jāmbavatī. Offer proper salutations according to the Vedas, Upaniṣads, and other scriptures.” Sāmba, still troubled, asked, “O sage, how will that god be pleased with me?” Nārada replied, “I will always recite this in Brahmaloka before Brahmā. And Sumantu will proclaim it among mortals, O lord, how, having gone to the eastern mountain, he became like a lump of flesh. By your grace, though I am sinless, I have suffered great distress; just as by worshipping the god at the eastern mountain, one attains the fruit. Likewise, by going to Mathurā, at the six Suns, one attains the fruit. And in Mathurā, at midday, at the midday Sun as well. And in Mathurā, reciting at sunrise and sunset of the Sun, one attains merit. After bathing in the Krishna-Ganga, one should worship the Sun with diligence.” Śrī Varāha spoke: “Mathurā, which grants the fruit of liberation, inspires eagerness for worship of the Sun.” Following Nārada’s instructions, Sāmba, son of Jāmbavatī, composed his mind through yoga and stood before the Sun at that time. The question was raised: “Tell me, in my presence, how the Sun was pleased by Nārada’s worship.” The Sun replied, “O hero, as I have been praised by you, I am always pleased with you.” The Sun appeared before Sāmba, manifest with distinct limbs, shining like a second Sun. Joined with Sāmba, the Sun instructed him at midday. It was declared that one who bathes and beholds the Sun at midday is freed from all sins. In the evening, standing on the southern bank of the Krishna-Ganga, with a mind purified from all sins, one attains the supreme Brahman. Thus, Sāmba, pleased at midday, from the sky, practiced yoga in two ways, and his leprosy was removed. Sāmba, together with the Sun, who was seated in a chariot, both day and night, experienced this transformation. It is proclaimed that this will happen, and it is known as ever new.
