He distributed charity to the sūtas, the māgadhas, the vandīs, and men of all other professions, according to their educational qualifications, and satisfied everyone’s desires.
Para complacer al Señor Viṣṇu, el magnánimo Nanda Mahārāja dio caridad a los pastores de vacas en forma de ropas, adornos y vacas, y de ese modo mejoró en todo sentido la condición de su hijo.

Significado
Although it has become fashionable to speak of daridra-nārāyaṇa, the words viṣṇor ārādhanārthāya do not mean that all the people satisfied by Nanda Mahārāja in this great ceremony were Viṣṇus. They were not daridra, nor were they Nārāyaṇa. Rather, they were devotees of Nārāyaṇa, and by their educational qualifications they would satisfy Nārāyaṇa. Therefore, satisfying them was an indirect way of satisfying Lord Viṣṇu. Mad-bhakta-pūjābhyadhikā (Bhāg. 11.19.21). The Lord says, “Worshiping My devotees is better than worshiping Me directly.” The varṇāśrama system is entirely meant for viṣṇu-ārādhana, worship of Lord Viṣṇu. Varṇāśramācāravatā puruṣeṇa paraḥ pumān/ viṣṇur ārādhyate (Viṣṇu Purāṇa 3.8.9). The ultimate goal of life is to please Lord Viṣṇu, the Supreme Lord. The uncivilized man or materialistic person, however, does not know this aim of life. Na te viduḥ svārtha-gatiṁ hi viṣṇum (Bhāg. 7.5.31). One’s real self-interest lies in satisfying Lord Viṣṇu. Not satisfying Lord Viṣṇu but instead attempting to become happy through material adjustments (bahir-artha-māninaḥ) is the wrong way for happiness. Because Viṣṇu is the root of everything, if Viṣṇu is pleased, everyone is pleased; in particular, one’s children and family members become happy in all respects. Nanda Mahārāja wanted to see his newborn child happy. That was his purpose. Therefore he wanted to satisfy Lord Viṣṇu, and to satisfy Lord Viṣṇu it was necessary to satisfy His devotees, such as the learned brāhmaṇas, māgadhas and sūtas. Thus, in a roundabout way, ultimately it was Lord Viṣṇu who was to be satisfied.
Aunque ahora está de moda hablar del daridra-nārāyaṇa, las palabras viṣṇor ārādhanārthāya no significan que todas las personas a las que Nanda Mahārāja satisfizo en aquella gran ceremonia fuesen Viṣṇus. No eran ni daridra, ni Nārāyaṇa, sino que eran devotos de Nārāyaṇa, y satisfacían a Nārāyaṇa con las cualidades propias de su educación. Por lo tanto, satisfacerles era una manera indirecta de satisfacer al Señor Viṣṇu. Mad-bhakta-pūjābhyadhikā (Bhāg. 11.19.21). El Señor dice: «Adorar a Mis devotos es mejor que adorarme a Mí directamente». El sistema de varṇāśrama tiene, en su conjunto, la función de adorar al Señor Viṣṇu, viṣṇu-ārādhana. Varṇāśramācāravatā puruṣeṇa paraḥ pumān/ viṣṇur ārādhyate (Viṣṇu Purāṇa 3.8.9). El objetivo supremo de la vida consiste en complacer al Señor Viṣṇu, el Señor Supremo. Sin embargo, el hombre incivilizado, la persona materialista, no conoce ese objetivo de la vida. Na te viduḥ svārtha-gatiṁ hi viṣṇum (Bhāg. 7.5.31). Nuestro verdadero interés radica en satifacer al Señor Viṣṇu. El intento de lograr la felicidad mediante ajustes materiales(bahir-artha-māninaḥ), en lugar de satisfacer al Señor Viṣṇu, es una vía equivocada para el logro de la felicidad. Como Viṣṇu es la raíz de todo, si Viṣṇu está complacido, todos están complacidos; y, en concreto, nuestros hijos y familiares son felices en todo aspecto. Nanda Mahārāja quería ver feliz a su hijo recién nacido. Ese era su objetivo. Por esa razón, quiso satisfacer al Señor Viṣṇu, y para satisfacer al Señor Viṣṇu tenía que satisfacer a Sus devotos, entre quienes estaban losbrāhmaṇas eruditos, los māgadhas y los sūtas. Así, en forma indirecta, en última instancia a quien iba a satisfacer era al Señor Viṣṇu.
