Překlad

Translation

Osobnost Božství Śrī Kṛṣṇa řekl: Přítel brāhmaṇy se nemá zabíjet, ale je-li to agresor, pak musí být zabit. To vše jsou pravidla písem a ty musíš jednat podle nich. Musíš splnit slib, který jsi dal své ženě, a musíš jednat tak, aby jsi uspokojil Bhīmasenu a Mě.

The Personality of Godhead, Śrī Kṛṣṇa said: A friend of a brāhmaṇa is not to be killed, but if he is an aggressor he must be killed. All these rulings are in the scriptures, and you should act accordingly. You have to fulfill your promise to your wife, and you must also act to the satisfaction of Bhīmasena and Me.

Význam

Purport

Arjuna byl zmatený, jelikož Aśvatthāmā měl být podle citátů z různých písem od různých lidí zároveň zabit i ušetřen. Jako brahma-bandhu, nehodný syn brāhmaṇy, se Aśvatthāmā neměl zabít, ale současně to byl také agresor, a podle Manuových pravidel se agresor má vždy zabít, bez ohledu na to, zda je brāhmaṇou (natož pak nehodným synem brāhmaṇy). Droṇācārya byl jistě brāhmaṇou v pravém slova smyslu, ale byl zabit, jelikož se zúčastnil bitvy. Aśvatthāmā byl sice agresor, ale byl beze zbraní. Jedním z pravidel bylo, že agresora nelze zabít, nemá-li zbraně nebo vůz. To vše bylo velice spletité dilema. Arjuna měl navíc dodržet slib, kterým uklidňoval Draupadī, a uspokojit také Bhīmu i Kṛṣṇu, kteří mu radili Aśvatthāmu zabít. Nevěděl, jak se má rozhodnout, ale Kṛṣṇa vše vyřešil.

Arjuna was perplexed because Aśvatthāmā was to be killed as well as spared according to different scriptures cited by different persons. As a brahma-bandhu, or a worthless son of a brāhmaṇa, Aśvatthāmā was not to be killed, but he was at the same time an aggressor also. And according to the rulings of Manu, an aggressor, even though he be a brāhmaṇa (and what to speak of an unworthy son of a brāhmaṇa), is to be killed. Droṇācārya was certainly a brāhmaṇa in the true sense of the term, but because he stood in the battlefield he was killed. But although Aśvatthāmā was an aggressor, he stood without any fighting weapons. The ruling is that an aggressor, when he is without weapon or chariot, cannot be killed. All these were certainly perplexities. Besides that, Arjuna had to keep the promise he had made before Draupadī just to pacify her. And he also had to satisfy both Bhīma and Kṛṣṇa, who advised killing him. This dilemma was present before Arjuna, and the solution was awarded by Kṛṣṇa.
