Significado

Brahmā is the director in charge of the mode of passion of material nature. Therefore it was natural for him to become angry on the refusal of his sons to obey his order. Although the Kumāras were right in such acts of refusal, Brahmā, being absorbed in the mode of passion, could not check his passionate anger. He did not express it, however, because he knew that his sons were far enlightened in spiritual advancement and thus he should not express his anger before them.

Brahmā es el director que se encarga de la modalidad de la pasión de la naturaleza material. Por tanto, era natural en él enfurecerse ante la negativa de sus hijos a obedecer su orden. Aunque la negativa de los Kumāras era correcta, Brahmā, absorto en la modalidad de la pasión, no pudo contener su apasionada ira. No la expresó, sin embargo, porque sabía que sus hijos eran muy avanzados en iluminación espiritual, y, por tanto, no debía expresar su ira ante ellos.
