Překlad
Translation
Předměty požitku vlivem Kālakanyi ztratily svoji chuť, a jelikož krále Purañjanu neopouštěly chtivé touhy, zchudl po všech stránkách. Nepochopil tedy smysl života. Stále si udržoval silnou náklonnost k manželce a dětem a myslel na to, jak o ně bude postaráno.
The objects of enjoyment became stale by the influence of Kālakanyā. Due to the continuance of his lusty desires, King Purañjana became very poor in everything. Thus he did not understand the aim of life. He was still very affectionate toward his wife and children, and he worried about maintaining them.
Význam
Purport
To je přesně situace současné civilizace. Každý se věnuje udržování těla, domova a rodiny, a na konci života je proto zmatený a neví, co je to duchovní život a co je smysl lidské existence. V civilizaci smyslového požitku není duchovní život možný, protože lidé myslí pouze na tento život. I když je příští život skutečností, nikde se o něm neučí.
This is exactly the position of present civilization. Everyone is engaged in maintaining the body, home and family. Consequently everyone becomes confused at the end of life, not knowing what spiritual life and the goal of human life are. In a civilization of sense gratification there cannot be spiritual life, because a person thinks only of this life. Although the next life is a fact, no information is given about it.
