Summary:
The father replied - “Due to being well versed in scriptures, I may, with difficulty, bear the agony of your separation. But, your mother might not be able to put up with this”. vAsudeva, on hearing these words of reconciliation of his father, prostrated before him saying “(If you think what I am doing is in accordance with scriptures,) please give me permission to accept sainthood.”
Note: vAsudeva knew very well that once his father gets convinced, it will not be difficult to convince his mother.
