Summary:

vAsudeva spoke that he will never be seen again if permission is not granted for the acceptance of his sainthood. On hearing this, his mother became perplexed. Being not of the nature of becoming an obstacle to good deeds, she thought - “not seeing my child even once in this lifetime is as good as my child is no more. If I give permission, I can at least see my child often”. Having thought thus, with great difficulty, she stayed away from stopping the resolution of her son to accept sainthood.
