Translation

Tradução

The steps of King Indra’s residence were made of coral, the floor was bedecked with invaluable emeralds, the walls were of crystal, and the columns of vaidūrya stone. The wonderful canopies were beautifully decorated, the seats were bedecked with rubies, and the silk bedding, as white as foam, was decorated with pearls. The ladies of the palace, who were blessed with beautiful teeth and the most wonderfully beautiful faces, walked here and there in the palace, their ankle bells tinkling melodiously, and saw their own beautiful reflections in the gems. The demigods, however, being very much oppressed, had to bow down and offer obeisances at the feet of Hiraṇyakaśipu, who chastised the demigods very severely and for no reason. Thus Hiraṇyakaśipu lived in the palace and severely ruled everyone.

Os degraus da residência do rei Indra eram feitos de coral, o chão estava incrustrado de esmeraldas valiosas, as paredes eram de cristal, e as colunas, de pedra vaidūrya. Os maravilhosos dosséis eram belamente decorados, os assentos eram cravejados de rubis, e a colcha de seda, tão branca como espuma, era enfeitada com pérolas. As damas do palácio, que receberam como bênção belos dentes e os rostos mais maravilhosamente belos, caminhavam de um canto a outro do palácio, com seus sinos de tornozelo tilintando melodiosamente, e viam seus belos reflexos nas pedras preciosas. Os semideuses, entretanto, estando muito oprimidos, tinham que se prostrar e oferecer reverências aos pés de Hiraṇyakaśipu, que os castigava muito severamente e sem razão alguma. Assim, Hiraṇyakaśipu vivia no palácio e, com tirania, governava todos.

Comentário

Hiraṇyakaśipu was so powerful in the heavenly planets that all the demigods except Lord Brahmā, Lord Śiva and Lord Viṣṇu were forced to engage in his service. Indeed, they were afraid of being severely punished if they disobeyed him. Śrīla Viśvanātha Cakravartī has compared Hiraṇyakaśipu to Mahārāja Vena, who was also atheistic and scornful of the ritualistic ceremonies mentioned in the Vedas. Yet Mahārāja Vena was afraid of some of the great sages such as Bhṛgu, whereas Hiraṇyakaśipu ruled in such a way that everyone feared him but Lord Viṣṇu, Lord Brahmā and Lord Śiva. Hiraṇyakaśipu was so alert against being burnt to ashes by the anger of great sages like Bhṛgu that by dint of austerity he surpassed their power and placed even them under his subordination. It appears that even in the higher planetary systems, to which people are promoted by pious activities, disturbances are created by asuras like Hiraṇyakaśipu. No one in the three worlds can live in peace and prosperity without disturbance.

SIGNIFICADO—Nos planetas celestiais, Hiraṇyakaśipu era tão poderoso que todos os semideuses, com exceção do senhor Brahmā, do senhor Śiva e do Senhor Viṣṇu, eram forçados a se ocupar a seu serviço. Na verdade, eles temiam ser punidos severamente caso não lhe obedecessem. Śrīla Viśvanātha Cakravartī compara Hiraṇyakaśipu a Mahārāja Vena, que também era ateísta e desdenhava as cerimônias ritualísticas mencionadas nos Vedas. No entanto, Mahārāja Vena temia alguns grandes sábios, tais como Bhṛgu, ao passo que Hiraṇyakaśipu governava de maneira tal que, exceto o Senhor Viṣṇu, o senhor Brahmā e o senhor Śiva, todos o temiam. Hiraṇyakaśipu estava tão atento ao fato de que a ira dos grandes sábios, tais como Bhṛgu, poderia reduzi-lo a cinzas que, à força de austeridades, suplantou-lhes o poder, chegando até mesmo a subordiná-los. Parece que, mesmo nos sistemas planetários superiores, aos quais as pessoas são promovidas através de atividades piedosas, asuras como Hiraṇyakaśipu criam distúrbios. Nos três mundos, ninguém pode viver em paz e prosperidade e livre de perturbações.
