TRANSLATION — TRADUCCION
 | Mahārāja Bali, a most celebrated king of the demons, knew very well when to make peace and when to fight. Thus although his commanders and captains were agitated and were about to kill the demigods, Mahārāja Bali, seeing that the demigods were coming to him without a militant attitude, forbade his commanders to kill them. | | | Mahārāja Bali, un famosísimo rey de los demonios, sabía muy bien cuándo era tiempo de paz y cuándo de guerra. Así, aunque sus generales y capitanes se agitaron mucho y estuvieron a punto de matar a los semidioses, Mahārāja Bali se lo prohibió, pues vio que los semidioses venían en son de paz. | |
PURPORT — SIGNIFICADO
| | Vedic etiquette enjoins: gṛhe śatrum api prāptaṁ viśvastam akutobhayam. When enemies come to their opponent’s place, they should be received in such a way that they will forget that there is animosity between the two parties. Bali Mahārāja was well conversant with the arts of peacemaking and fighting. Thus he received the demigods very well, although his commanders and captains were agitated. This kind of treatment was prevalent even during the fight between the Pāṇḍavas and the Kurus. During the day, the Pāṇḍavas and Kurus would fight with the utmost strength, and when the day was over they would go to each other’s camps as friends and be received as such. During such friendly meetings, one enemy would offer anything the other enemy wanted. That was the system. | | | La norma védica de etiqueta ordena: gṛhe śatrum api prāptaṁ viśvastam akutobhayam: Cuando un enemigo acude a visitar a su rival, debe ser tan bien recibido que llegue a olvidar la hostilidad entre los dos bandos. Mahārāja Bali era un perfecto conocedor de los artes de hacer la paz y declarar la guerra, de modo que, pese a la agitación de sus generales y capitanes, supo ofrecer un buen recibimiento a los semidioses. Esas pautas de conducta aún seguían en vigor durante la batalla entre los Pāṇḍavas y los Kurus. Durante el día, ambos bandos combatían con todas sus fuerzas, pero, cuando se ponía el Sol, visitaban amistosamente el campamento de sus rivales y eran bien recibidos. En esos encuentros amistosos, un enemigo ofrecería al otro todo lo que pudiera desear. Esa era la costumbre. | | |
