TRANSLATION — TRADUCCION
 | Śukadeva Gosvāmī said: Desiring to give up his body, Vṛtrāsura considered death in the battle preferable to victory. O King Parīkṣit, he vigorously took up his trident and with great force attacked Lord Indra, the King of heaven, just as Kaiṭabha had forcefully attacked the Supreme Personality of Godhead when the universe was inundated. | | | Śukadeva Gosvāmī dijo: Deseoso de abandonar el cuerpo, Vṛtrāsura consideraba que la muerte en el combate era preferible a la victoria. ¡Oh, rey Parīkṣit!, empuñando vigorosamente su tridente, atacó con gran fuerza al Señor Indra, el rey del cielo, del mismo modo que Kaiṭabha había atacado a la Suprema Personalidad de Dios durante la inundación del universo. | |
PURPORT — SIGNIFICADO
| | Although Vṛtrāsura repeatedly encouraged Indra to kill him with the thunderbolt, King Indra was morose at having to kill such a great devotee and was hesitant to throw it. Vṛtrāsura, disappointed that King Indra was reluctant despite his encouragement, took the initiative very forcefully by throwing his trident at Indra. Vṛtrāsura was not at all interested in victory; he was interested in being killed so that he could immediately return home, back to Godhead. As confirmed in Bhagavad-gītā (4.9), tyaktvā dehaṁ punar janma naiti: after giving up his body, a devotee immediately returns to Lord Kṛṣṇa and never returns to accept another body. This was Vṛtrāsura’s interest. | | | A pesar de que Vṛtrāsura le animaba una y otra vez a que le matase con el rayo, el rey Indra lamentaba tener que matar a aquel gran devoto, y dudaba en lanzárselo. Vṛtrāsura, contrariado de ver que el rey Indra no se decidía a pesar de haberle animado, tomó la iniciativa, y le arrojó su tridente con gran violencia. Vṛtrāsura no tenía el menor interés en la victoria; lo que quería era ser matado y poder regresar inmediatamente al hogar, de vuelta a Dios. Como se confirma en el Bhagavad-gītā (4.9): tyaktvā dehaṁ punar janma naiti: Cuando abandona el cuerpo, el devoto regresa inmediatamente con el Señor Kṛṣṇa, y nunca vuelve para recibir otro cuerpo. Ese era el objetivo de Vṛtrāsura. | | |
