Yet, I shall advise you a way out of your troubles. You dissolve your-self in the effulgence of Mitra and Varuṇa and remain there permanently. After sometime you will be able to be born without being present in the womb of a woman, Then you will remember everything about your previous birth will acquire sense of righteousness and knowledge of the Vedas will become respected by all and will be omniscient.
