 | The King of the Yavanas continued: Here is my brother Prajvāra. I now accept you as my sister. I shall employ both of you, as well as my dangerous soldiers, to act imperceptibly within this world. | | | El rey de los yavanas continuó: He aquí a mi hermano Prajvāra. A partir de ahora serás mi hermana. Vosotros me serviréis, junto con mis peligrosos soldados, para ejercer una acción imperceptible en el mundo. | |
PURPORT — SIGNIFICADO
| | Kālakanyā was sent by Nārada Muni to Yavana-rāja so that she might become his wife, but instead of accepting her as his wife, Yavana-rāja accepted her as his sister. Those who do not follow the Vedic principles are unrestricted as far as sex life is concerned. Consequently they sometimes do not hesitate to have sex with their sisters. In this Age of Kali there are many instances of such incest. Although Yavana-rāja accepted the request of Nārada Muni to show respect to him, he was nonetheless thinking of illicit sex. This was due to his being the King of the yavanas and mlecchas. | | | Nārada Muni envió a Kālakanyā a Yavana-rāja para que se casase con ella, pero él, en lugar de aceptarla por esposa, la consideró su hermana. Los que no siguen los principios védicos llevan una vida sexual irrestricta. En consecuencia, a veces no vacilan en tener relaciones sexuales con sus hermanas. En la era de Kali hay muchos ejemplos de incesto. Yavana-rāja, por respeto, cumplió la orden de Nārada Muni; no obstante, pensaba en relaciones sexuales ilícitas. Esto se debe a que era el rey de los yavanas y mlecchas. | | | | | The word prajvāraḥ is very significant, for it means “the fever sent by Lord Viṣṇu.” Such a fever is always set at 107 degrees, the temperature at which a man dies. Thus the King of the mlecchas and yavanas requested the daughter of Time, Kālakanyā, to become his sister. There was no need to ask her to become his wife, for the yavanas and mlecchas do not make distinctions as far as sex life is concerned. Thus one may outwardly be a sister, mother or daughter and still have sex. Yavana-rāja’s brother was Prajvāra, and Kālakanyā was invalidity itself. Combined and strengthened by the soldiers of Yavana-rāja — namely nonhygienic conditions, illicit sex and ultimately a high degree of temperature to bring on death — they would be able to smash the materialistic way of life. In this connection it is significant that Nārada was immune to the attack of jarā, or invalidity. Similarly jarā, or the destructive force, cannot attack any follower of Nārada Muni or another pure Vaiṣṇava.
Thus end the purports by His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Svāmi Prabhupāda of the Fourth Canto, Twenty-seventh Chapter, of the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, entitled “Attack by Caṇḍavega on the City of King Purañjana; the Character of Kālakanyā.” | | | La palabra prajvāraḥ es muy significativa, pues significa «la fiebre que envía el Señor Viṣṇu». Se trata de una fiebre de 42 grados; a esa temperatura, el hombre muere. De modo que el rey de los mlecchas y yavanas pidió a la hija del Tiempo, Kālakanyā, que fuese su hermana. No necesitaba pedirle que fuese su esposa, pues en cuestiones de vida sexual, los yavanas y mlecchas no se paran a ver diferencias externas del tipo de hermana, madre o hija. El hermano de Yavana-rāja era Prajvāra, y Kālakanyā era la invalidez personificada. Ambos, con el refuerzo de los soldados de Yavana-rāja —las condiciones antihigiénicas, la vida sexual ilícita, por último, una temperatura muy elevada, que provoca la muerte—, podrían destruir por completo el modo de vida materialista. Con respecto a esto, es significativo el hecho de que Nārada era inmune al ataque de jarā, la invalidez; además, esa fuerza destructiva, jarā, tampoco puede atacar a los seguidores de Nārada Muni, es decir, a los vaiṣṇavas puros.
Así terminan los significados de Su Divina Gracia A.C. Bhaktivedanta Svāmi Prabhupāda correspondientes al capítulo vigesimoséptimo del Canto Cuarto del Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, titulado: «Caṇḍavega ataca la ciudad del rey Purañjana; la personalidad de Kālakanyā». | | |
