Chapter 14, Verse 8 O son of Bharata, the mode of ignorance causes the delusion of all living entities. Chapter 14, Verse 7 The mode of passion is born of unlimited desires and longings, O son of Kunti, and because of this one is bound to material fruitive activities. Those situated in that mode develop knowledge, but they become conditioned by the concept of happiness. Chapter 14, Verse 6 O sinless one, the mode of goodness, being purer than the others, is illuminating, and it frees one from all sinful reactions. When the living entity comes in contact with nature, he becomes conditioned by these modes. Chapter 14, Verse 5 Material nature consists of the three modes-goodness, passion and ignorance. Chapter 14, Verse 4 It should be understood that all species of life, O son of Kunti, are made possible by birth in this material nature, and that I am the seed-giving father. Chapter 14, Verse 3 The total material substance, called Brahman, is the source of birth, and it is that Brahman that I impregnate, making possible the births of all living beings, O son of Bharata. Thus established, one is not born at the time of creation nor disturbed at the time of dissolution. Chapter 14, Verse 2 By becoming fixed in this knowledge, one can attain to the transcendental nature, which is like My own nature. Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 14: The Three Modes Of Material Nature Chapter 14, Verse 1 The Blessed Lord said: Again I shall declare to you this supreme wisdom, the best of all knowledge, knowing which all the sages have attained to supreme perfection. And that Brahmana Keshava, due to his sinful activities became that rabbit.” Lord Shiva said, “After hearing the glories of the Fourteenth Chapter of Srimad Bhagavad-gita, King Vikram-Vetala also began daily reciting the Fourteenth Chapter of Srimad Bhagavad-gita, when he gave up that body, he went to Vaikuntha where he was able to engage eternally in the service of the lotus-feet of Lord Vishnu. For this reason, her husband became very angry and killed her. She was a very loose lady, who always enjoyed the company of other men. One Brahmana of the name Keshava had lived there. Now I will tell you the reason why I was laughing In Maharashtra, there is the town of the name Pratudhak. Due to that rabbit and dog slipping in the mud, which had been made wet from the water, which had washed my feet, they both attained the higher planets. I am his disciple, and I am also by his grace always engaged in chanting the Fourteenth Chapter of the Srimad Bhagavad-gita. King Vikram-Vetala, having witnessed those amusing events inquired from that brahmana, “How is it possible that the rabbit and dog went off to heaven in front of our eyes?” That brahmana said, “In this forest, a great sage of the name Vatsa, who has completely conquered his senses, is always engaged in chanting the Fourteenth Chapter of the Srimad Bhagavad-gita. Seeing all of this, the disciple of Maharaja Vatsa started to laugh. After a moment, that dog arrived there in search of the rabbit, and he also slipped in the mud gave up that dog body and attained a heavenly body and was also taken off to the heavenly planets. An airplane came down, picked him up and took him off to the heavenly planets. Immediately that rabbit attained a heavenly body. Just then that rabbit came running and slipped in the mud. Near the ashram of Maharaja Vatsa, one of his disciples was washing his feet while chanting the Fourteenth Chapter of Srimad Bhagavad-gita. In this forest, the great sage Vatsa lived, who worshipped Lord Krishna by reciting the Fourteenth Chapter of the Srimad Bhagavad-gita. The cubs of the tigers were playing with the baby elephants and snakes were crawling over the peacocks. A deer were sitting happily under the shade of the trees and the monkeys were joyfully eating the fruits of those trees. Running and running, that rabbit reached a beautiful hermitage, which was very peaceful. When that dog was chasing it, the rabbit looked as if it was flying. When he reached the forest he released one dog to chase a rabbit.

One day, when he was going to the forest for hunting, he took his son and two hunting dogs along with him. In Simhaldvip was a king of the name Vikram-Vetala.
