Translation

Traducción

“My dear Lord, I am not thinking to become happy by getting the daughter as a bride. I am simply thinking that the brāhmaṇa has broken his promise, and that is giving me great pain.”

«Mi querido Señor, yo no pienso en la felicidad de casarme con la hija del brāhmaṇa. Solamente pienso en que el brāhmaṇa ha roto su promesa, y eso me causa mucho dolor.»

Significado

It was not at all the intention of the young brāhmaṇa to get the daughter of the elderly brāhmaṇa in marriage and thus enjoy material happiness and sense gratification. It was not for that reason that the young brāhmaṇa went to Vṛndāvana to ask the Supreme Personality of Godhead to act as a witness. His only concern was that the elderly brāhmaṇa had promised something, and if Gopāla did not bear witness to that transaction, then the older brāhmaṇa would incur a spiritual blemish. Therefore, the young brāhmaṇa wanted protection and help from the Deity. The young brāhmaṇa was thus a pure Vaiṣṇava, and he had no desire for sense gratification. He wanted only to serve the Supreme Personality of Godhead and the older brāhmaṇa, who was also a Vaiṣṇava and very much devoted to the Lord.

La intención del joven brāhmaṇa no era, ni mucho menos, casarse con la hija del brāhmaṇa mayor para así disfrutar de felicidad material y de placer de los sentidos. No fue ésa la razón que le llevó a Vṛndāvana para pedir a la Suprema Personalidad de Dios que actuase como testigo. Lo único que le preocupaba era que el brāhmaṇa mayor había hecho una promesa, y si Gopāla no actuaba como testigo de aquel trato, el anciano brāhmaṇa mancharía su vida espiritual. Ésa era la razón que llevó al joven brāhmaṇa a buscar la protección y la ayuda de la Deidad. El joven brāhmaṇa era un vaiṣṇava puro, y no tenía ningún deseo de complacer los sentidos. Solamente quería servir a la Suprema Personalidad de Dios y al brāhmaṇa anciano, que también era un vaiṣṇava y que estaba muy consagrado al Señor.
