Translation
Překlad
As Śukrācārya listened to what had happened to Devayānī, his mind was very much aggrieved. Condemning the profession of priesthood and praising the profession of uñcha-vṛtti [collecting grains from the fields], he left home with his daughter.
Když Śukrācārya vyslechl, co se Devayānī stalo, jeho mysl byla zarmoucena. Zatracoval kněžské zaměstnání a velebil živobytí uñcha-vṛtti (sbírání obilí na polích), a tak i s dcerou odešel z domova.
Purport
Význam
When a brāhmaṇa adopts the profession of a kapota, or pigeon, he lives by collecting grains from the field. This is called uñcha-vṛtti. A brāhmaṇa who takes to this uñcha-vṛtti profession is called first class because he depends completely on the mercy of the Supreme Personality of Godhead and does not beg from anyone. Although the profession of begging is allowed for a brāhmaṇa or sannyāsī, one does better if he can avoid such a profession and completely depend on the mercy of the Supreme Personality of Godhead for maintenance. Śukrācārya was certainly very sorry that because of his daughter’s complaint he had to go to his disciple to beg some mercy, which he was obliged to do because he had accepted the profession of priesthood. In his heart, Śukrācārya did not like his profession, but since he had accepted it, he was obliged to go unwillingly to his disciple to settle the grievance submitted by his daughter.
Brāhmaṇa, který si zaopatřuje živobytí po způsobu kapoty, holuba, se živí tím, že na poli sbírá obilí. Tomu se říká uñcha-vṛtti. Brāhmaṇa, jenž se věnuje uñcha-vṛtti, je pokládán za prvotřídního, neboť zcela závisí na milosti Nejvyšší Osobnosti Božství a od nikoho nežebrá. I když brāhmaṇa či sannyāsī má dovoleno žebrat, učiní lépe, když se tomu vyhne a bude ohledně svého živobytí zcela záviset na milosti Nejvyššího Pána. Śukrācāryu jistě mrzelo, že kvůli stížnosti své dcery musel jít za svým žákem a žebrat o milost, jelikož byl zavázán tím, že přijal místo kněze. V srdci se mu jeho živobytí protivilo, ale jelikož je přijal, musel chtě nechtě jít za svým žákem, aby vyřešil stížnost své dcery.
