Since You have cut the bonds of affection that compel a parent to raise his child, You appear inexperienced and unintelligent. '''(Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 6.14.55)'''}}

Acting through the heart of Pārvatī, the Lord, who is situated in everyone's heart, cursed Citraketu in order to end all his material reactions. Thus Citraketu became Vṛtrāsura in his next life and returned home, back to Godhead. '''(Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 6.17.17)'''}}

The living entity is actually a spiritual soul who is part and parcel of God and has nothing to do with relationships in the world of duality. Therefore Nārada Muni advised Citraketu not to lament for his so-called dead son. '''(Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 6.16 Summary)'''}}

Indeed, the untimely death of the son caused severe lamentation for the father. One may put forward the argument, "If the King's son was his enemy, how could the King have so much affection for him?" In answer, the example is given that when someone's wealth falls into the hands of his enemy, the money becomes the enemy's friend. '''(Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 6.16.6)'''}}
