| Dear Sri Rajagopalan swami, Sri piLLai lOkAchAryAr has also referred to the 
episode of 'GantA karnan' in one of 
the eighteen works-= thathva 
sEkaram=  The discussion is regarding shivA wanting a boon 
from Lord krshNA to obtain a boon from himself. Accordingly, sri krishNA 
approahed shivA and requested for a child. shivA excalimed "lo! here is the 
creator of all the worlds and He is asking for a child" . 'kaLvA! emmaiyum 
Ezhulagum nin-uLLEa thORriya iRaiva" enRu veL yEARAn..." thiru voi 
mozhi. The discussion now veers around that is not a 
person seeking a boon is subject to kArmic effects. For this the episode of 
'GantA karnan' is referred. On return from meeting shiva and obtaining the boon, 
sri krshNA grants salvation to 'GantA karnan' . When 
somebody is able to grant mOksham, how can he be subject to kArmic effect is the 
logic raised. The point here is that the Lord has obtained the boon just to 
fulfill the assurance given to shivA earlier. dAsan vanamamalai padmnabhan
