Since his austerities were brining inauspicious results like death of a kid, It could be a tapasya in mode of Tamas. (this is my humble opinion. will wait for authentic acaryas views) | |

| Jul 29, 2018 at 12:33 | comment | added | Pradip Gangopadhyay | Unfortunately this answer is not satisfactory on many grounds. The claim that Sudras can not do tapasya before kali yuga directly contradicts Gita's teaching. The claim that the killing was necessary to revive the dead child is also unsatisfactory. People are born and die due to their own karma which has nothing to do with what another person is doing. The whole story reeks of interpolation. | |
