Překlad

Translation

Jak mohl být Dakṣa jakožto Prajāpati, přirozený ochránce všech živých bytostí, tak neuctivý ke své vlastní dceři Satī, která byla počestnou ženou a navíc velkou osobností? Jeho nevšímavost způsobila, že se vzdala svého těla.

It was astonishing that Dakṣa, who was Prajāpati, the maintainer of all living entities, was so disrespectful to his own daughter Satī, who was not only chaste but was also a great soul, that she gave up her body because of his neglect.

Význam

Purport

Důležité je zde slovo anātmya. Ātmya znamená “život duše”, a toto slovo tedy naznačuje, že i když se Dakṣa zdál být naživu, ve skutečnosti byl mrtvý. Jak jinak by mohl přehlížet Satī, svou vlastní dceru? Dakṣa měl jako Prajāpati, vládce všech živých bytostí, povinnost dohlížet na to, aby se všem dařilo dobře. Jak mohl zanedbat vlastní dceru, vznešenou a počestnou Satī, která byla velkou duší a zasluhovala si otcovu nejvyšší úctu a ohleduplnost? Všichni polobozi vesmíru byli její smrtí, kterou způsobila otcova nevšímavost, velice překvapeni.

The word anātmya is significant. Ātmya means “the life of the soul,” so this word indicates that although Dakṣa appeared to be living, actually he was a dead body; otherwise how could he neglect Satī, who was his own daughter? It was the duty of Dakṣa to look after the maintenance and comforts of all living entities because he was situated as Prajāpati, the governor of all living entities. Therefore how is it that he neglected his own daughter, who was the most exalted and chaste woman, a great soul, and who therefore deserved the most respectful treatment from her father? The death of Satī because of her being neglected by Dakṣa, her father, was most astonishing to all the great demigods of the universe.
