PURPORT — SIGNIFICADO

Śrīla Prabhupāda writes:

“King Jarāsandha was a very dutiful householder, and he had great respect for the brāhmaṇas. He was a great fighter, a kṣatriya king, but he was never neglectful of the Vedic injunctions. According to Vedic injunctions, the brāhmaṇas are considered to be the spiritual masters of all other castes. Lord Kṛṣṇa, Arjuna and Bhīmasena were actually kṣatriyas, but they dressed themselves as brāhmaṇas, and at the time when King Jarāsandha was to give charity to the brāhmaṇas and receive them as guests, they approached him.”

Śrīla Prabhupāda escribe:

«El rey Jarāsandha era un hombre de familia muy obediente y sentía un gran respeto por los brāhmaṇas. Era un gran luchador, un rey kṣatriya, pero nunca descuidó los mandatos védicos. Según los mandatos védicos, se considera que los brāhmaṇas son los maestros espirituales de todas las demás castas. El Señor Kṛṣṇa, Arjuna y Bhīmasena eran en realidad kṣatriyas, pero se vistieron como brāhmaṇas, en el momento en que el rey Jarāsandha iba a dar caridad a los brāhmaṇas y recibirlos como invitados, se acercaron a él».
