Significado

In Bhagavad-gītā sexual intercourse for begetting children is accepted as righteous. A person sexually inclined for simple sense gratification, however, is unrighteous. In Diti’s appeal to her husband for sex, it was not exactly that she was afflicted by sex desires, but she desired sons. Since she had no sons, she felt poorer than her co-wives. Therefore Kaśyapa was supposed to satisfy his bona fide wife.

En el Bhagavad-gītā se acepta que la relación sexual para engendrar hijos es virtuosa. Pero la persona que quiere vida sexual únicamente buscando complacer sus sentidos no es virtuosa. En la petición de relación sexual que Diti hizo a su esposo, no es exactamente que estuviese influenciada por deseos sexuales, sino que deseaba tener hijos. Como no tenía hijos, se sentía más pobre que sus coesposas. Por lo tanto, era de esperar que Kaśyapa satisficiese a su esposa legítima.
