| After the father died, the nine stepbrothers of Jaḍa Bharata, who considered Jaḍa Bharata dull and brainless, abandoned the father’s attempt to give Jaḍa Bharata a complete education. The stepbrothers of Jaḍa Bharata were learned in the three Vedas — the Ṛg Veda, Sāma Veda and Yajur Veda — which very much encourage fruitive activity. The nine brothers were not at all spiritually enlightened in devotional service to the Lord. Consequently they could not understand the highly exalted position of Jaḍa Bharata. | | | Tras la muerte del padre, los nueve hermanastros de Jaḍa Bharata, que le consideraban tonto y sin cerebro, abandonaron el empeño paterno de darle una educación completa. Los hermanastros de Jaḍa Bharata eran doctos en los tres Vedas - Ṛg Veda, Sāma Veda y Yajur Veda - , que fomentan las actividades fruitivas, pero no gozaban de la menor iluminación espiritual en cuanto al servicio devocional del Señor; por consiguiente, no comprendían cuán excelsa era la posición de Jaḍa Bharata. | |
