Translation

Traducción

Jaḍa Bharata behaved before his father like a fool, despite his father’s adequately instructing him in Vedic knowledge. He behaved in that way so that his father would know that he was unfit for instruction and would abandon the attempt to instruct him further. He would behave in a completely opposite way. Although instructed to wash his hands after evacuating, he would wash them before. Nonetheless, his father wanted to give him Vedic instructions during the spring and summer. He tried to teach him the Gāyatrī mantra along with oṁkāra and vyāhṛti, but after four months his father still was not successful in instructing him.

Aunque su padre le estaba instruyendo adecuadamente en el conocimiento védico, Jaḍa Bharata se comportaba ante él como un necio. Quería hacerle entender que no estaba capacitado para asimilar sus enseñanzas, y que de este modo abandonara sus intentos de seguir educándole. Hacía todo lo contrario de lo que tenía que hacer. Se le había enseñado a lavarse las manos después de evacuar, pero él se las lavaba antes. Su padre, sin embargo, pasó la primavera y el verano tratando de educarle en la cultura védica. Quiso enseñarle el mantra gāyatrī, el oṁkara y el vyāhṛti, pero al cabo de cuatro meses, todavía no lo había conseguido.
