दे पूतना विष रे अम्त पायो
Although Putna administered poison (to Krishna) she attained salvation; the Vedas have sung in vain that man reaps as he sows.
King Bali performed a hundred sacrifices and yet was tied up and sent to the nether world. King Nriga donated one lac cows and yet he was turned into a serpent. Friend Sudama was born a pauper and suddenly found himself in a golden palace.
Surdas says: O God, strange are Thy ways, well have the Vedas said, 'not this, not this'.

Srimad Bhagavatham 3:2:23
अहो बकी यं स्तन-काल-कूटं
जिघांसयापाययद् अप्य् असाध्वी
लेभे गतिं धात्र्य्-उचितां ततो'न्यं
कं वा दयालुं शरणं व्रजेम
Oh, even the impious woman, Putana (the sister of the demon Baka) – who suckled Him (as a Babe) at her breast, which was daubed with a most deadly poison, with intent to kill Him – got Salvation as the return from Him. Is there anyone who is merciful, whom we should resort to for protection, other than Him?
Chant the Mahamantra Nama kirtan :
Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare
