Srimad-Bhagavatam: Canto 7 - Chapter 1 - Verse 17
Sanskrit:
एतद्वेदितुमिच्छाम: सर्व एव वयं मुने ।भगवन्निन्दया वेनो द्विजैस्तमसि पातित: ॥ १७ ॥
ITRANS:
etad veditum icchāmaḥsarva eva vayaṁ munebhagavan-nindayā venodvijais tamasi pātitaḥ
Translation:
O great sage, we are all eager to know the cause for this mercy of the Lord. I have heard that formerly a king named Vena blasphemed the Supreme Personality of Godhead and that all the brāhmaṇas consequently obliged him to go to hell. Śiśupāla should also have been sent to hell. How then did he merge into the Lord’s existence?
