Překlad
Translation
On (Droṇācārya) jistě nadále existuje, představován svým synem. Jeho žena Kṛpī s ním nepodstoupila obřad satī, protože měla syna.
He [Droṇācārya] is certainly still existing, being represented by his son. His wife Kṛpī did not undergo a satī with him because she had a son.
Význam
Purport
Žena Droṇācāryi Kṛpī je sestra Kṛpācāryi. Je-li oddaná žena, kterou zjevená písma nazývají lepší polovinou manžela, bez potomstva, pak může se smrtí muže dobrovolně přijmout smrt i ona. To však nebyl případ ženy Droṇācāryi, která to neučinila, neboť měla syna, manželova představitele. Je-li syn zesnulého manžela naživu, pak vdova je vdovou jen podle jména. Aśvatthāmā tedy byl ze dvou důvodů zástupcem Droṇācāryi a Draupadī namítala, že zabít Aśvatthāmu by se rovnalo zabití Droṇy.
The wife of Droṇācārya, Kṛpī, is the sister of Kṛpācārya. A devoted wife, who is according to revealed scripture the better half of her husband, is justified in embracing voluntary death along with her husband if she is without issue. But in the case of the wife of Droṇācārya, she did not undergo such a trial because she had her son, the representative of her husband. A widow is a widow only in name if there is a son of her husband existing. So in either case Aśvatthāmā was the representative of Droṇācārya, and therefore killing Aśvatthāmā would be like killing Droṇācārya. That was the argument of Draupadī against the killing of Aśvatthāmā.
