| Thereafter, Mahārāja Ambarīṣa satisfied all the guests who arrived at his house, especially the brāhmaṇas. He gave in charity sixty crores of cows whose horns were covered with gold plate and whose hooves were covered with silver plate. All the cows were well decorated with garments and had full milk bags. They were mild-natured, young and beautiful and were accompanied by their calves. After giving these cows, the King first sumptuously fed all the brāhmaṇas, and when they were fully satisfied, he was about to observe the end of Ekādaśī, with their permission, by breaking the fast. Exactly at that time, however, Durvāsā Muni, the great and powerful mystic, appeared on the scene as an uninvited guest. | | | A continuación, Mahārāja Ambarīṣa satisfizo a todos los que visitaron su casa, y en especial a los brāhmaṇas. Como caridad, dio sesenta karors de vacas, que llevaban los cuernos chapados en oro y las pezuñas cubiertas con plata. Todas las vacas llevaban mantos decorativos y tenían las ubres llenas de leche. Eran de naturaleza mansa, jóvenes y bonitas, y venían acompañadas de sus terneros. Después de dar las vacas, el rey dio de comer suntuosamente a todos los brāhmaṇas y, cuando estuvieron plenamente satisfechos, con su permiso se dispuso a observar el final del ekādaśī rompiendo su ayuno. Sin embargo, justo en ese momento hizo su aparición una visita inesperada: el muy poderoso místico Durvāsā Muni. | |
