A Brahmin took Sri Swami to his house. He offered Sri Swami meals. Sri Swami asked him “Where are your parents?”. The Brahmin said that his parents have already left for the other world. Then Sri Swami said, “Look, over there your father is swinging the cradle, to put your baby to sleep”. When everyone looked over they saw a serpent swinging the cradle. The Brahmin took a stick and went to kill the serpent. However, Sri Swami stopped him from doing so. Then Sri Swami took the serpent in his hands and spoke to the serpent “Is your passion still not fully satisfied? Look, your son was about to kill you”. Then, to everyone’s surprise, the serpent started speaking “Maharaj, I don’t have any passion left. Kindly bless me with deliverance from this life”. Then Sri Swami spoke “Go and stay in the lake. Later on, you will take birth in the family of an ascetic”. The serpent happily went away. All the people present were amazed.
