Translation
Překlad
Śrī Śukadeva Gosvāmī said: My dear King, in the opinion of some learned scholars, eight smaller islands surround Jambūdvīpa. When the sons of Mahārāja Sagara were searching all over the world for their lost horse, they dug up the earth, and in this way eight adjoining islands came into existence. The names of these islands are Svarṇaprastha, Candraśukla, Āvartana, Ramaṇaka, Mandara-hariṇa, Pāñcajanya, Siṁhala and Laṅkā.
Śrī Śukadeva Gosvāmī pravil: Můj milý králi, podle názoru některých učenců obklopuje Jambūdvīp osm menších ostrovů. Když synové Mahārāje Sagara hledali po celém světě svého ztraceného koně, rozkopávali zemi, a to vedlo ke vzniku těchto osmi přilehlých ostrovů. Jmenují se Svarṇaprastha, Candraśukla, Āvartana, Ramaṇaka, Mandarahariṇa, Pāñcajanya, Siṁhala a Laṅkā.
Purport
Význam
In the Kūrma Purāṇa there is this statement about the desires of the demigods:
V Kūrma Purāṇě je následující výrok o touhách polobohů:
svarga-sthā bhāratodbhavam
vāñchanty ātma-vimokṣārtha-
mudrekārthe ’dhikāriṇaḥ
svarga-sthā bhāratodbhavam
vāñchanty ātma-vimokṣārtha-
mudrekārthe ’dhikāriṇaḥ
Although the demigods are situated in exalted positions in the heavenly planets, they nevertheless desire to descend to the land of Bhārata-varṣa on the planet earth. This indicates that even the demigods are unfit to reside in Bhārata-varṣa. Therefore if persons already born in Bhārata-varṣa live like cats and dogs, not taking full advantage of their birth in this land, they are certainly unfortunate.
Přestože mají polobozi vznešené postavení na nebeských planetách, přejí si sestoupit do Bhārata-varṣi na planetě Zemi. To naznačuje, že k pobytu v Bhārata-varṣe nejsou způsobilí ani polobozi. Když tedy ti, kdo se již v Bhārata-varṣe narodili, žijí jako kočky a psi, aniž by dokonale využili svého zrození v této zemi, lze je nepochybně považovat za nešťastníky.
