TRANSLATION — TRADUCCION

Mahārāja Yudhiṣṭhira inquired: It is very wonderful that the demon Śiśupāla merged into the body of the Supreme Personality of Godhead even though extremely envious. This sāyujya-mukti is impossible to attain even for great transcendentalists. How then did the enemy of the Lord attain it?Mahārāja Yudhiṣṭhira preguntó: Es muy asombroso que el demonio Śiśupāla se haya fundido en el cuerpo de la Suprema Personalidad de Dios a pesar de lo terriblemente envidioso que era. Sāyujya-mukti les es imposible de alcanzar incluso a los grandes trascendentalistas. ¿Cómo pudo entonces obtenerla el enemigo del Señor?

PURPORT — SIGNIFICADO

There are two classes of transcendentalists — the jñānīs and the bhaktas. The bhaktas do not aspire to merge into the existence of the Lord, but the jñānīs do. Śiśupāla, however, was neither a jñānī nor a bhakta, yet simply by envy of the Lord he attained an exalted position by merging into the Lord’s body. Certainly this was astonishing, and therefore Mahārāja Yudhiṣṭhira inquired about the cause for the Lord’s mysterious mercy to Śiśupāla.There are two classes of transcendentalists — the jñānīs and the bhaktas.
