 | Dhruva Mahārāja attacked Alakāpurī, the city of the Yakṣas, because his brother was killed by one of them. Actually only one of the citizens, not all of them, was guilty of killing his brother, Uttama. Dhruva Mahārāja, of course, took a very serious step when his brother was killed by the Yakṣas. War was declared, and the fighting was going on. This sometimes happens in present days also — for one man’s fault a whole state is sometimes attacked. This kind of wholesale attack is not approved by Manu, the father and lawgiver of the human race. He therefore wanted to stop his grandson Dhruva from continuing to kill the Yakṣa citizens who were not offenders. | | | Dhruva Mahārāja atacó Alakāpurī, la ciudad de los yakṣas, debido a que uno de ellos había matado a su hermano. En realidad, solo un ciudadano era culpable de la muerte de su hermano Uttama, no todos. Es obvio que las medidas que había tomado Dhruva Mahārāja ante la muerte de su hermano eran muy rigurosas. Se desencadenó la guerra, y el conflicto seguía. Esto también sucede a veces en la actualidad: por culpa de un hombre, se ataca a un país entero. Ese tipo de ataque generalizado no cuenta con la aprobación de Manu, el padre y legislador de la raza humana. Manu, por lo tanto, quiso impedir que su nieto Dhruva continuase matando a los ciudadanos yakṣas que no eran culpables. | |
