Srimad Bhagvata Mahapurana: Book 11: Chapter 5: Verses 43-52

The sage Narada resumed : Hearing (the exposition) of these courses of conduct pleasing to the Lord, Nimi (the king of Mithila) with his priests and preceptors delightedly adored the sons of Jayanti, the (nine) sages (mentioned before). Then those accom. plished sages vanished out of sight while all the people stood looking on. Following the aforesaid courses of conduct, the king attained to the highest goal. O Vasudeva (the best among fortunate persons)! following these righteous courses pleasing to the Lord, which you have (just) heard of, full of faith and free from attachment, you too will attain the highest goal. The fame of you both, husband and wife, really fills the (whole) world because the almighty Lord Sri Hari has chosen to be your son. Cherishing parental love for Sri Krsna, you have both purified your soul by His sight, embrace and conversation with Him, as well as by sitting, sleeping and eating with Him. When (even) Sisupala, Paundraka, Salva and other kings, thinking of Him with the feeling of enmity while sleeping, sitting or eating, had His gait, graceful movements and glances etc., imprinted on their mind and (accordingly) attained similarity to His form, what to say of those whose mind is attached to Him. Sri Krsna is the Universal Soul, the almighty Lord, though He has concealed His divinity by assuming a human personality as a matter of sport; He is above and beyond all and is immortal. You should not look upon Him as your son. To destroy the devilish kings who had become a burden to the earth, and to protect the virtuous, Sri Krsna has appeared on earth. It is for the liberation of all men that He spreads His fame throughout the world_ Sri Suka continued: Hearing this, the highly fortunate Vasudeva and Devaki felt much astonished and they overcame their infatuation (ceased to look upon Sri Krsna as a mortal or their son). Whoever with a concentrated mind retains in his memory this sacred story shakes off his delusion during his life-time and becomes qualified for attaining oneness with Brahma (after death).

Thus ends the fifth discourse in Book Eleven of the great and glorious

Bhagavata-Purana, otherwise known as the Paramahamsa-Samhita.
