For hundred years he sat in meditation and Mahāviṣṇu was pleased with him and took him and his father to Vaikuṇṭha. At the instruction of Mahāviṣṇu, Suvrata took life again in the house of Kaśyapa. When he died he went to Vaikuṇṭha. In every successive birth he had the remembrance of his previous birth. (Padma Purāṇa, Chapter 21). - [Previous: c5.617](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c5.617) - [Next: c5.619](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c5.619) - [Up: c5](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c5) ## Cites (1) - [Padmapurāṇa](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.padma) — Vyāsa, Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c5.618](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c5.618) · Pramāṇa
