Překlad
Translation
Když se malý Dhruva Mahārāja snažil dostat na otcův klín, jeho nevlastní matku Suruci posedla závist a s velkou pýchou začala hovořit tak, aby ji král slyšel.
While the child, Dhruva Mahārāja, was trying to get on the lap of his father, Suruci, his stepmother, became very envious of the child, and with great pride she began to speak so as to be heard by the King himself.
Význam
Purport
Král přál pochopitelně oběma synům, Uttamovi i Dhruvovi, a chtěl je vzít oba na svůj klín. Byl však natolik nakloněný Suruci, že si i přes své otcovské cítění netroufal laskat Dhruvu tak jako jejího syna Uttamu. Suruci znala královu slabost, a začala se proto pyšně chlubit, jakou k ní král pociťuje lásku. Ženy mívají takové sklony — když zjistí, že si je manžel oblíbil a že mu jsou zvláště milé, často toho zneužijí. K tomu dochází i v tak vznešené společnosti, jakou představuje rodina Svāyambhuvy Manua. Z toho lze tedy usoudit, že povaha žen je všude stejná.
The King, of course, was equally affectionate toward both his sons, Uttama and Dhruva, so he had a natural inclination to take Dhruva, as well as Uttama, on his lap. But because of his favoritism towards his queen Suruci, he could not welcome Dhruva Mahārāja, despite his feelings. King Uttānapāda’s feeling was understood by Suruci, and therefore with great pride she began to speak about the King’s affection for her. This is the nature of woman. If a woman understands that her husband regards her as a favorite and is especially affectionate to her, she takes undue advantage. These symptoms are visible even in such an elevated society as the family of Svāyambhuva Manu. Therefore it is concluded that the feminine nature of woman is present everywhere.
