Story of Kubja!!! - Page 2

I had heard two versions about Kubja, myself not sure which one is true.

I had heard an explanation from Late Dr. Ramanand Sagar and one from ISKCON. According to one, Kubja was Manthara in her previous life and as per the other opinion, she was Surpanakha. Because of her bad deeds during Ram avatar, she was born with that hunch back or trivakra apprearance in her next life . But as Lord is ever merciful, He in His Krishna Avatar rescued her.
But as I have written before, I haven't read it anywhere, only heard about it. If I manage to gather some information from ISKCON ,can post it later.

In case you are interested, would like to share few other characters;

1. More or less, like this, Putana also had her fate. When Bhagwan Vishnu in His "Baman Avatar" went to Daityaraj Bali, one of the ladies there seeing Lord's innocent face had a desire in her heart to get Him as her son. But as soon as the Lord asked for "teen Paag Zameen", that time she also said in her mind, if she was His mother, she would have given him poison. That exactly what Putana did, she tried to feed poison with her milk to Bal Krishna.

2.Similarly the "dhobi" bacause of whom Lord Ram had to abandon Mata Sita was killed by Shri Krishna on his way to Mathura palace.

3. And also, Lord Rama cleard all his debt to Sugreev's brother Bali, if any, when Bali was reborn as Jara in later yug, and his arrow actually shot Lord Krishna's lotus feet and became the cause of His death.

In Krishna janm-khand of Brahm Vaivart Puran, it is written that after Laxman cut her nose, Surpanakha went to Pushkar and performed tapasya there. She wanted Rama as her husband. She prayed to Lord Brahma. Brahma said that Rama had taken the pledge of having only one wife. So, he would not marry her in that incarnation. But Brahma gave her the boon that Rama would marry her in next incarnation.

Surpanakha was reborn as Kujbja during Krishna incarnation.
