In plain words
“I need none of you. I will not come to your houses, and you need not come to mine. Swami alone is enough for me,” she answered them firmly. She made just one wish: “Swami! At the time I give up my life, I must see Your beautiful lotus face.” I gave My word that it would be so.
Once some devotees took Me to Madras. Subbamma went to her mother's house in Bukkapatnam. By the time I came back she had given up her life. The moment the villagers saw Me: “Swami! Your Subbamma gave up her life last night,” they said. I went to Bukkapatnam. I had given her My word, after all! In no circumstance do I break My word. They had laid Subbamma's body on the veranda and covered it with a cloth. I went and took away the cloth that covered her body. The ants had already got to it. Dead body, after all! I called, ‘Subbamma!’ She opened her eyes. Seeing that wonder, all the people of Bukkapatnam came, overjoyed that Subbamma was alive. That Subbamma's mother was a hundred years old. I told her to bring a little tulasī water. I put a tulasī leaf in Subbamma's mouth, gave her water to drink: “Subbamma! I have kept the word I gave you. Now go in joy,” I said. “What more could I want than this, Swami! I go in joy.” With that, tears flowing and smiling, she held both My hands, and saying, “I go and will come again, I go and will come again,” she gave up her life. In the Kṛṣṇa Avatāra, however much love Devakī Devī had, Yaśodā had still more. Easwaramma and Subbamma were full of love for each other. But between the men there was no talk. That one was not to come here, and this one was not to go there. So the two of them talked to each other through a window.
I Myself selected the parents of this body. Pedda Venkamaraju was always a great help to devotees; whether coconuts were wanted or lentils, he would go straight to Bukkapatnam and fetch them; he did great service to devotees.
