Translation

Traducción

The demigods and demons then observed a fast. After bathing, they offered clarified butter and oblations into the fire and gave charity to the cows and to the brāhmaṇas and members of the other orders of society, namely the kṣatriyas, vaiśyas and śūdras, who were all rewarded as they deserved. Thereafter, the demigods and demons performed ritualistic ceremonies under the directions of the brāhmaṇas. Then they dressed themselves with new garments according to their own choice, decorated their bodies with ornaments, and sat facing east on seats made of kuśa grass.

Los semidioses y los demonios observaron entonces un ayuno. Después de bañarse, ofrecieron al fuego mantequilla clarificada y oblaciones, y dieron caridad a las vacas, a los brāhmaṇas y a los miembros de las demás órdenes de la sociedad, es decir, a los kṣatriyas, vaiśyas y śūdras, todos los cuales fueron recompensados como merecían. A continuación, los semidioses y los demonios celebraron ceremonias rituales siguiendo las indicaciones de los brāhmaṇas. Entonces se vistieron con ropas nuevas que ellos mismos eligieron, se engalanaron el cuerpo con alhajas, y se sentaron de cara al este en esterillas de hierba kuśa.

Significado

The Vedas enjoin that for every ritualistic ceremony one must first become clean by bathing either in the water of the Ganges or Yamunā or in the sea. Then one may perform the ritualistic ceremony and offer clarified butter into the fire. In this verse the words paridhāya āhatāni are especially significant. A sannyāsī or a person about to perform a ritualistic ceremony should not dress himself in clothing sewn with a needle.

Los Vedas ordenan que, antes de celebrar una ceremonia ritual, es necesario purificarse mediante un baño, bien sea en las aguas del Ganges, del Yamunā o del mar. Solo entonces se puede celebrar la ceremonia ritual y ofrecer mantequilla clarificada al fuego. En este verso son especialmente significativas las palabras paridhāya āhatāni. El sannyāsī o la persona que se prepara para celebrar una ceremonia ritual no debe vestirse con ropas cosidas con aguja.
