Translation

Those who study the Vedas and drink the soma juice, seeking the heavenly planets, worship Me indirectly. Purified of sinful reactions, they take birth on the pious, heavenly planet of Indra, where they enjoy godly delights.

Need, kes uurivad „Vedasid" ning joovad soma mahla, pürgides taevalikele planeetidele, teenivad Mind kaudselt. Puhastununa pattude järelmõjudest, saavad nad sünni Indra jumalakartlike elanikega taevalikule planeedile, nautides seal jumalikke rõõme.

Purport

The word trai-vidyāḥ refers to the three Vedas – Sāma, Yajur and Ṛg. A brāhmaṇa who has studied these three Vedas is called a tri-vedī. Anyone who is very much attached to knowledge derived from these three Vedas is respected in society. Unfortunately, there are many great scholars of the Vedas who do not know the ultimate purport of studying them. Therefore Kṛṣṇa herein declares Himself to be the ultimate goal for the tri-vedīs. Actual tri-vedīs take shelter under the lotus feet of Kṛṣṇa and engage in pure devotional service to satisfy the Lord. Devotional service begins with the chanting of the Hare Kṛṣṇa mantra and side by side trying to understand Kṛṣṇa in truth. Unfortunately those who are simply official students of the Vedas become more interested in offering sacrifices to the different demigods like Indra and Candra. By such endeavor, the worshipers of different demigods are certainly purified of the contamination of the lower qualities of nature and are thereby elevated to the higher planetary systems or heavenly planets known as Maharloka, Janaloka, Tapoloka, etc. Once situated on those higher planetary systems, one can satisfy his senses hundreds of thousands of times better than on this planet.

Sõna trai-vidyāḥ viitab kolmele „Vedale" – „Sāma", „Yajur" ja „Ṛg". Brāhmaṇat, kes tunneb kolme „Vedat", nimetatakse tri-vedīks. Igaüht, kes on tugevalt kiindunud nendest kolmest „Vedast" omandatud teadmistesse, austatakse ühiskonnas. Kahjuks on aga palju „Vedasid" uurinud õpetlasi, kes ei tea nende uurimise kõrgeimat eesmärki. Seepärast kinnitab Kṛṣṇa siin, et Tema on tri-vedīde lõplik eesmärk. Tõelised tri-vedīd otsivad varjupaika Kṛṣṇa lootosjalgade juurest ning rakendavad end Jumala rahuldamiseks Tema puhtasse pühendunud teenimisse. Pühendunud teenimine algab Hare Kṛṣṇa mantra kordamisega, millele samaaegselt kaasneb püüd Kṛṣṇat tõeliselt mõista. Kahjuks aga on puhtformaalselt „Vedasid" uurivad õpilased rohkem huvitatud Indra ja Candra taolistele pooljumalatele sooritatud ohverdustest. Seeläbi puhastuvad erinevate pooljumalate kummardajad kindlasti looduse madalamate omaduste saastast ning tõusevad niiviisi kõrgematesse planetaarsüsteemidesse või taevalikele planeetidele nagu Maharloka, Janoloka, Tapoloka jne. Nendes kõrgemates planetaarsüsteemides asudes on võimalik oma meeli rahuldada sadu tuhandeid kordi paremini kui sellel planeedil.
