Passage 6

The ways of the Divine are marvellous and mysterious

Vasudheva sat beside the child and started praying. Immediately a basket appeared before him. Placing the Divine child in the basket he looked at the prison door. He saw that it was open. The ways of the Divine are marvellous and mysterious, felt Vasudheva. He stepped out of the prison. He found all the guards sound asleep. As he came out, there was a heavy downpour. The Yamuna was in spate. He prayed to Narayana to see that there was no impediment in the way of his mission to protect the Divine child. The Yamuna gave him passage. He reached Nandha's house.
