TRANSLATION — TRADUCCION

King Purañjana then began to think of his past dealings with his wife. He recalled that his wife would not take her dinner until he had finished his, that she would not take her bath until he had finished his, and that she was always very much attached to him, so much so that if he would sometimes become angry and chastise her, she would simply remain silent and tolerate his misbehavior.El rey Purañjana comenzó entonces a pensar en lo que habían sido sus relaciones con su esposa. Recordó que su esposa no comñia mientras él no hubiera terminado de almorzar, y que no se bañaba mientras él no huboera terminado de bañarse, y que siempre estaba muy apegada a él, tanto que, si a veces él se enfadaba y le reñía, ella permanecía callada, tolerando su mala conducta.

PURPORT — SIGNIFICADO

A wife is always supposed to be submissive to her husband. Submission, mild behavior and subservience are qualities in a wife which make a husband very thoughtful of her. For family life it is very good for a husband to be attached to his wife, but it is not very good for spiritual advancement. Thus Kṛṣṇa consciousness must be established in every home. If a husband and wife are very much attached to one another in Kṛṣṇa consciousness, they will both benefit because Kṛṣṇa is the center of their existence. Otherwise, if the husband is too much attached to his wife, he becomes a woman in his next life. The woman, being overly attached to her husband, becomes a man in her next life. Of course, it is an advantage for a woman to become a man, but it is not at all advantageous for the man to become a woman.La esposa siempre debe ser muy sumisa con su esposo. La sumisión y un comportamiento manso y subordinado son las cualidades de una esposa que hacen que su cónyuge siempre piense en ella. Para la vida familiar, es muy bueno que el esposo esté apegado a la esposa, pero para el avance espiritual, no lo es. Por esa razón, hay que hacer que todos los hogares sean conscientes de Kṛṣṇa. Si los esposos están muy apegados el uno al otro y son conscientes de Kṛṣṇa, ambos se beneficiarán, ya que Kṛṣṇa será el centro de su existencia. De lo contrario, si el esposo está demasiado apegado a su esposa, en su siguiente vida tendrá que nacer como mujer, y la mujer, si está demasiado apegada a su esposo, nacerá en su siguiente vida con cuerpo de hombre. Por supuesto, para la mujer es beneficioso nacer como hombre, pero el hombre que tiene que nacer como mujer sale perdiendo.
