TRANSLATION — TRADUCCION
 | King Vena replied: You are not at all experienced. It is very much regrettable that you are maintaining something which is not religious and are accepting it as religious. Indeed, I think you are giving up your real husband, who maintains you, and are searching after some paramour to worship. | | | El rey Vena contestó: Sois completamente inexpertos. Es muy de lamentar que estéis manteniendo una cosa que no es religiosa y la consideréis religiosa. En verdad, pienso que estáis abandonando a vuestro verdadero esposo, que os mantiene, y andáis en busca de algún amante al que adorar. | |
PURPORT — SIGNIFICADO
| | King Vena was so foolish that he accused the saintly sages of being inexperienced like small children. In other words, he was accusing them of not having perfect knowledge. In this way he could reject their advice and make accusations against them, comparing them to a woman who does not care for her husband who maintains her but goes to satisfy a paramour who does not maintain her. The purpose of this simile is apparent: It is the duty of the kṣatriyas to engage the brāhmaṇas in different types of religious activities, and the king is supposed to be the maintainer of the brāhmaṇas. If the brāhmaṇas do not worship the king but instead go to the demigods, they are as polluted as unchaste women. | | | El rey Vena era tan necio que acusó a los sabios santos de ser inexpertos como niños pequeños. En otras palabras, les estaba acusando de no tener conocimiento perfecto. De esta manera podía rechazar sus consejos y acusarles, comparándoles con una mujer que, en lugar de cuidar del esposo que la mantiene, va a satisfacer a un amante que no la mantiene. La intención de este símil es evidente. Los kṣatriyas tienen el deber de ocupar a los brāhmaṇas en diversos tipos de actividades religiosas, y el deber del rey es mantener a los brāhmaṇas. Si los brāhmaṇas, en lugar de adorar al rey, se dirigen a los semidioses, son tan impuros como una mujer infiel. | | |
