Translation

Traducción

King Pṛthu’s body was tall and sturdy, and his complexion was fair. His arms were full and broad and his eyes as bright as the rising sun. His nose was straight, his face very beautiful, and his personality grave. His teeth were set beautifully in his smiling face.

El rey Pṛthu tenía un cuerpo alto y fuerte; su tez era clara. Tenía los brazos amplios y robustos, y los ojos tan brillantes como el sol naciente. Su naríz era recta, su rostro, muy hermoso, y su personalidad, grave. Sus dientes resaltaban hermosos en su sonriente rostro.

Significado

Amongst the four social orders (brāhmaṇas, kṣatriyas, vaiśyas and śūdras), the kṣatriyas, both men and women, are generally very beautiful. As will be apparent from the following verses, it is to be concluded that not only were Mahārāja Pṛthu’s bodily features attractive, as described here, but he had specific all-auspicious signs in his bodily construction.

De las cuatro órdenes sociales (brāhmaṇas, kṣatriyas, vaiśyas y śūdras), los hombres y mujeres kṣatriyas suelen ser muy hermosos. Como se verá en los siguientes versos, Mahārāja Pṛthu, además de contar con los atractivos rasgos físicos que aquí se describen, mostraba también en su constitucional corporal signos específicos sumamente auspiciosos.

As it is said, “The face is the index of the mind.” One’s mental constitution is exhibited by his facial features. The bodily features of a particular person are exhibited in accordance with his past deeds, for according to one’s past deeds, his next bodily features — whether in human society, animal society or demigod society — are determined. This is proof of the transmigration of the soul through different types of bodies.

Se dice que la cara es el espejo del alma. La mentalidad de una persona se pone de relieve en los rasgos de la cara. La persona manifiesta unos determinados rasgos corporales conforme a sus actos pasados, pues son los actos pasados lo que determina el aspecto del siguiente cuerpo, bien sea un cuerpo humano, animal o de semidiós. Esa es la prueba de la transmigración del alma por distintos tipos de cuerpos.
