question from Krishna Dhan Prabhu how is it that Ajamal was 88 years old when he begot 10th son because in Satyuga people’s life span was 1 lakh years answer I have not come across any reference saying that the Ajamal pastime took place in Satyuga there might have been some lectures some references by some people but ultimately we have to look back at scripture so Shri Prabhupada in his second chance book which is a rendition of the three chapters 6.1, 2 and 3 does not talk about Satyuga at all similarly in those purports also of these three chapters Prabhupada does not refer to it as happening in Satyuga at one particular time that is all that is said over there and Prabhupada explains in the purport that this is a history that happened long ago and even I checked Vishwanath Achyut Thakur’s commentaries there also it is not mentioned that this pastime happened in Satyuga therefore there is no need for us to give any undue credence to some sources that are not ultimately going back to scripture so the pastime has happened in the remote past and when it happened we don’t know so the fact that he was 88 years old when he begot his 10th son what does it indicate? in and of itself it doesn’t deny the fact that that can happen in Satyuga, that can happen in earlier age also so the important principle to understand is that that even when he was aged still he was engaging in Sanskrit even at a small son that is the point that Shri Prabhupada is emphasizing so there is no need for us to be bothered about such details when we can’t find their sources in scriptures directly secondary sources always to be evaluated against the primary sources and if the primary sources don’t support an idea then there is no need to get carried away by them.
Thank you
