Translation

Překlad

There is a small lake named Alakanandā in which Satī used to take her bath, and that lake is especially auspicious. All the demigods, after seeing the specific beauty of Kailāsa Hill, were struck with wonder at the great opulence to be found there.

Zvláště blahodárné je malé jezírko zvané Alakanandā, kde se koupávala Satī. Všichni polobozi žasli nad krásou a nevídaným bohatstvím hory Kailās.

Význam

According to the commentary called Śrī-Bhāgavata-candra-candrikā, the water in which Satī used to bathe was Ganges water. In other words, the Ganges flowed through the Kailāsa-parvata. There is every possibility of accepting such a statement because Ganges water also flows from the hair of Lord Śiva. Since Ganges water rests on the head of Lord Śiva and then flows to the other parts of the universe, it is quite possible that the water in which Satī bathed, which was certainly very nicely scented, was Ganges water.

Z komentáře Śrī-Bhāgavata-candra-candrikā se dozvídáme, že voda, ve které se Satī koupávala, byla vodou Gangy. Znamená to, že Ganga protékala Kailāsa-parvatou. Na tom není nic zvláštního, vezmeme-li v úvahu, že Ganga také stéká z vlasů Pána Śivy. Ganga spočívá na hlavě Pána Śivy a potom plyne do ostatních částí vesmíru. Je tedy zcela možné, že voda, v níž se Satī koupala a která nádherně voněla, byla skutečně vodou Gangy.
