Guest guest Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 Dear Nandakumarji, I have read two stories about the birth of Sukadeva, one is in Mahabharatha-Santhiparva and the other one is in Skanda purana 1. Vedavyaasa did thapa to please Siva Bhagavan and He gave Vyaasadeva the boon of begetting a blessed son. Vyaasa deva was doing homam and an apasara lady came there to distract his mind. His mind was agitated and even though she did not embrace the apsara lady his masculine energy fell into the sacrificial fire. When the homam progressed, a child was born from the divine fire and that was Sukadeva. 2. According to Skanda puranaa, Vyaasamuni married Jabali's daughter (I am not sure about the name, I think it is Pingala) and Sukadeva is her son by Vyaasamuni. Suka remained in the womb for 12 years and only after Krishna assured him that he would not be affected by Maya, he took birth. Vyaasamuni had to bring Krishna from Dwaraka to convince Sukadeva in the womb.
