SRIMAD BHAGAVATAM
DASAMA SKANDAM - CHAPTER 10
Here is a beautiful story of two arjuna trees are blessed by Shri Krishna and they got the deliverance from their curse and assumed their normal human form once again. The story is known to many and hence does not require explanation about the story as such in detail.
However, the background of the story is very important. Out of 43 stanzas in this chapter, the first 22 stanzas deal with this background. Nalakubara and Manigriva, two sons of Kubera, got their mind corrupted because of their false ego and pride due to their money power. The dirty deeds are explained in detail in the opening portion of the chapter itself. The more important is the very high level of analysis by Saint Narada about the consequences of such head weight and pride of such arrogant people, who do not see any reason, and they think that they can do anything and at any place and get away with it.
He takes pity on them and in fact blesses them by his curse so that they realize the importance of humility and devotion to the Supreme Almighty.
Stanzas 25 to 38 are the prayers by the sons of Kubera after they assume their original form by the grace of Shri Krishna.
