 | It is the duty of parents to hand over their daughters to suitable persons just befitting their family tradition in cleanliness, gentle behavior, wealth, social position, etc. Dakṣa was repentant that on the request of Brahmā, who was his father, he had handed over his daughter to a person who, according to his calculation, was nasty. He was so angry that he did not acknowledge that the request was from his father. Instead, he referred to Brahmā as parameṣṭhī, the supreme teacher in the universe; because of his temperament of gross anger, he was not even prepared to accept Brahmā as his father. In other words, he accused even Brahmā of being less intelligent because he had advised Dakṣa to hand over his beautiful daughter to such a nasty fellow. In anger one forgets everything, and thus Dakṣa, in anger, not only accused the great Lord Śiva, but criticized his own father, Lord Brahmā, for his not very astute advice that Dakṣa hand over his daughter to Lord Śiva. | | | Los padres tienen el deber de casar a sus hijas con personas adecuadas, cuya tradición familiar de limpieza, comportamiento caballeroso, riqueza, posición social, etc., se corresponda con la suya propia. Dakṣa estaba arrepentido de haber accedido al ruego de Brahmā, su padre, y de haber dado la mano de su hija a una persona que, en su estimación, era desagradable. Estaba tan iracundo que ni siquiera estaba dispuesto a reconocer que quien se lo había pedido era su propio padre. En lugar de ello, se refirió a Brahmā como parameṣṭhī, el maestro supremo del universo; su temperamento iracundo y violento ni siquiera le permitía admitir el hecho de que Brahmā era su padre. En otras palabras, llegó incluso a acusar a Brahmā de falta de inteligencia, por haberle aconsejado que entregase su hermosa hija a aquel desagradable individuo. La ira hace que nos olvidemos de todo, y Dakṣa, poseído por la ira, no se contentó con acusar al gran Señor Śiva, sino que también criticó al Señor Brahmā, su propio padre, por haberle dado aquel consejo tan poco prudente de que entregase su hija al Señor Śiva. | |
