TRANSLATION — TRADUCCION

The sage could see that Devahūti had washed herself clean and was shining forth as though no longer his former wife. She had regained her own original beauty as the daughter of a prince. Dressed in excellent robes, her charming breasts duly girded, she was waited upon by a thousand Gandharva girls. O destroyer of the enemy, his fondness for her grew, and he placed her on the aerial mansion.El sabio pudo ver que Devahūti estaba muy limpia después de haberse bañado, y que brillaba, como si ya no fuese su antigua esposa. Había recuperado su propia belleza original de hija de un príncipe. Estaba vestida con ropas excelentes, con sus atractivos senos debidamente ceñidos, y servida por mil muchachas gandharvas. ¡Oh, destructor del enemigo!, su cariño por ella creció, y la subió al palacio aéreo.

PURPORT — SIGNIFICADO

Before her marriage, when Devahūti was brought by her parents before the sage Kardama, she was the perfectly beautiful princess, and Kardama Muni remembered her former beauty. But after her marriage, when she was engaged in the service of Kardama Muni, she neglected to care for her body like a princess, since there was no means for such care; her husband was living in a cottage, and since she was always engaged in serving him, her royal beauty disappeared, and she became just like an ordinary maidservant. Now, after being bathed by the Gandharva girls by the order of Kardama Muni’s yogic power, she regained her beauty, and Kardama Muni felt attracted to the beauty she had shown before the marriage. The real beauty of a young woman is her breasts. When Kardama Muni saw the breasts of his wife so nicely decorated, increasing her beauty many times, he was attracted, even though he was a great sage. Śrīpāda Śaṅkarācārya has therefore warned the transcendentalists that one who is after transcendental realization should not be attracted by the raised breasts of a woman because they are nothing but an interaction of fat and blood within the body.Cuando los padres de Devahūti la llevaron ante el sabio Kardama antes de su matrimonio, ella era la princesa de belleza perfecta; Kardama Muni recordó su belleza anterior. Pero después del matrimonio, cuando se ocupó en servir a Kardama Muni, dejó de cuidar su cuerpo como una princesa, pues no tenía medios para ello; su esposo vivía en una choza, y ella estaba siempre ocupada en servirlo; por ello, su belleza de princesa desapareció, y pasó a ser como una sirvienta cualquiera. Ahora, después de que las muchachas gandharvas, obedeciendo al poder yóguico de Kardama Muni, la bañasen, ella recobró su belleza, y Kardama Muni se sintió atraído por la hermosura que ella había mostrado antes de casarse. La verdadera belleza de una mujer joven son sus senos. Cuando Kardama Muni vio tan hermosamente adornados los senos de su esposa, que la hacían mucho más hermosa, se sintió atraído, a pesar de que era un gran sabio. Ésa es la razón de que Śrīpāda Śaṅkārācarya prevenga a los trascendentalistas de que aquel que busque la iluminación trascendental no debe sentirse atraído por los erguidos senos de la mujer, pues no son más que una interacción de grasa y sangre dentro del cuerpo.
