TRANSLATION — TRADUCCION

Thereafter, one day while Saubhari Muni, who was expert in chanting mantras, was sitting in a secluded place, he thought to himself about the cause of his falldown, which was simply that he had associated himself with the sexual affairs of the fish.Pero un día, sentado en un lugar solitario, Saubhari Muni, que era experto en cantar mantras, reflexionó en la causa de su caída, y halló que no era otra que el haber contemplado las relaciones sexuales de los peces.

PURPORT — SIGNIFICADO

Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura remarks that Saubhari Muni had fallen from his austerity because of a vaiṣṇava-aparādha. The history is that when Garuḍa wanted to eat fish, Saubhari Muni unnecessarily gave the fish shelter under his care. Because Garuḍa’s plans for eating were disappointed, Saubhari Muni certainly committed a great offense to a Vaiṣṇava. Because of this vaiṣṇava-aparādha, an offense at the lotus feet of a Vaiṣṇava, Saubhari Muni fell from his exalted position of mystic tapasya. One should not, therefore, impede the activities of a Vaiṣṇava. This is the lesson we must learn from this incident concerning Saubhari Muni.Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura señala que Saubhari Muni había perdido su nivel de austeridad debido a una vaiṣṇava-aparādha. En cierta ocasión, Garuḍa deseaba comerse un pez, y Saubhari Muni, de forma injustificada, brindó protección al pez. Por haber hecho fracasar los planes alimenticios de Garuḍa, Saubhari Muni cometió, sin duda alguna, una gran ofensa contra un vaiṣṇava. Debido a esa vaiṣṇava-aparādha, una ofensa a los pies de loto de un vaiṣṇava, Saubhari Muni cayó de su excelsa posición de tapasya mística. Por lo tanto, nadie debe poner obstáculos a las actividades de los vaiṣṇavas. Esa es la lección que debemos aprender de lo ocurrido a Saubhari Muni.
