Translation

Traducción

In His childhood the Lord was taken away by two thieves outside His home. The Lord, however, got up on the shoulders of the thieves, and while they were thinking they were safely carrying the child to rob His ornaments, the Lord misled them, and thus instead of going to their own home the thieves came back to the home of Jagannātha Miśra.

Cuando el Señor era niño, dos ladrones se Lo llevaron de Su casa. El Señor, sin embargo, Se subió a los hombros de los ladrones, y cuando éstos creían que estaban seguros llevándose al niño para robarle Sus ornamentos, el Señor los desorientó, y en lugar de ir a su propia casa, los ladrones volvieron a casa de Jagannātha Miśra.

Significado

In His childhood the Lord was profusely decorated with gold ornaments. Once upon a time, when the Lord was playing outside His house, two thieves passing on the street saw the opportunity to rob Him. Therefore they took Him on their shoulders, pleasing Him by offering Him some sweetmeats. The thieves thought they would carry the child to the forest and then kill Him and take away the ornaments. The Lord, however, expanded His illusory energy upon the thieves, so much so that instead of carrying Him to the forest they came right back in front of His house. When they came before His house they became afraid because everyone from the house of Jagannātha Miśra and all the inhabitants of that quarter were busy searching for the child. Therefore the thieves, thinking it dangerous to remain, went away and left Him. The child was brought within the house and given to mother Śacī, who was in great anxiety, and she became satisfied. This incident is also very elaborately explained in the Ādi-khaṇḍa of Caitanya-bhāgavata, third chapter.

En Su niñez, el Señor llevaba muchos ornamentos de oro. Una vez, cuando el Señor estaba jugando junto a Su casa, dos ladrones que pasaban por la calle vieron la oportunidad de robarle. Entonces, dándole unos dulces, Lo subieron sobre sus hombros. Los ladrones pensaron llevarse al niño a la selva y matarle, y quedarse con los ornamentos. Sin embargo, el Señor expandió Su energía ilusoria sobre los ladrones, de manera que, en lugar de llevarle a la selva, volvieron derechos hasta Su casa. Cuando llegaron allí, se asustaron mucho, porque toda la familia de Jagannātha Miśra y todos los vecinos de aquel barrio estaban buscando al niño. Por tanto, los ladrones, viendo que era peligroso quedarse allí, Le dejaron y se fueron. El niño fue conducido a la casa y entregado a madre Śacī, que había estado muy inquieta, y se puso muy contenta. Este incidente también se explica con gran detalle en el Capítulo Tercero del Ādi-khaṇḍa del Caitanya-bhāgavata.
