Translation

Tradução

Śukadeva Gosvāmī said: Having thus appealed to Lord Kṛṣṇa, mother Surabhi performed His bathing ceremony with her own milk, and Indra, ordered by Aditi and other mothers of the demigods, anointed the Lord with heavenly Gaṅgā water from the trunk of Indra’s elephant carrier, Airāvata. Thus, in the company of the demigods and great sages, Indra coronated Lord Kṛṣṇa, the descendant of Daśārha, and gave Him the name Govinda.

Śukadeva Gosvāmī disse: Tendo apelado desse modo ao Senhor Kṛṣṇa, mãe Surabhi executou Sua cerimônia de ablução com o próprio leite dela, e Indra, por ordem de Aditi e outras mães dos semideuses, ungiu o Senhor com água do Gaṅgā celestial trazida na tromba de Airāvata, o elefante que transporta Indra. Então, na companhia dos semideuses e grandes sábios, Indra coroou o Senhor Kṛṣṇa, o descendente de Daśārha, e deu-Lhe o nome de Govinda.

Comentário

According to the ācāryas, because Indra was embarrassed by his blunder of attacking Vṛndāvana, he was reluctant to worship the Lord. Therefore the heavenly mothers, such as Aditi, encouraged him to go ahead and do so. Feeling authorized by the encouragement of demigods less offensive than he, Indra then bathed the Lord. Indra discovered that the beautiful cowherd boy named Kṛṣṇa is indeed the Supreme Personality of Godhead.

SIGNIFICADO—Segundo os ācāryas, por estar embaraçado devido ao disparate que cometera ao atacar Vṛndāvana, Indra relutava em adorar o Senhor. Portanto, as mães celestiais, tais como Aditi, encorajaram-no a adiantar-se e adorar o Senhor. Sentindo-se autorizado pelo estímulo de semideuses menos ofensivos que ele, Indra então banhou o Senhor. Indra descobriu que o belo vaqueirinho chamado Kṛṣṇa é de fato a Suprema Personalidade de Deus.
