Translation
Překlad
Bādarāyaṇa, Śrī Vyāsadeva, following the order of his mother, Satyavatī, begot three sons, two by the womb of Ambikā and Ambālikā, the two wives of his brother Vicitravīrya, and the third by Vicitravīrya’s maidservant. These sons were Dhṛtarāṣṭra, Pāṇḍu and Vidura.
Na pokyn své matky Satyavatī zplodil Bādarāyaṇa, Śrī Vyāsadeva, tři syny-dva v lůně Ambiky a Ambāliky, dvou manželek svého bratra Vicitravīryi, a třetího s Vicitravīryovou služebnou. Těmito syny byli Dhṛtarāṣṭra, Pāṇḍu a Vidura.
Purport
Význam
Vicitravīrya died of tuberculosis, and his wives, Ambikā and Ambālikā, had no issue. Therefore, after Vicitravīrya’s death, his mother, Satyavatī, who was also the mother of Vyāsadeva, asked Vyāsadeva to beget children through the wives of Vicitravīrya. In those days, the brother of the husband could beget children through the womb of his sister-in-law. This was known as devareṇa sutotpatti. If the husband was somehow unable to beget children, his brother could do so through the womb of his sister-in-law. This devareṇa sutotpatti and the sacrifices of aśvamedha and gomedha are forbidden in the Age of Kali.
Vicitravīrya zemřel na souchotiny a jeho ženy, Ambikā a Ambālikā, zůstaly bez potomků. Proto po jeho smrti požádala jeho matka Satyavatī Vyāsadevu, jenž byl rovněž jejím synem, aby s Vicitravīryovými manželkami zplodil děti. V těch dobách bylo dovoleno, aby bratr manžela počal děti v lůně své švagrové. Říkalo se tomu devareṇa sutotpatti. Pokud manžel z nějakého důvodu nebyl schopen zplodit děti, mohl to jeho bratr učinit za něj. Toto devareṇa sutotpatti a oběti aśvamedha a gomedha jsou ve věku Kali zakázány.

“In this Age of Kali, five acts are forbidden: the offering of a horse in sacrifice, the offering of a cow in sacrifice, the acceptance of the order of sannyāsa, the offering of oblations of flesh to the forefathers, and a man’s begetting children in his brother’s wife.” (Brahma-vaivarta Purāṇa).
“V tomto věku Kali je zakázáno pět činů—obětovat koně, obětovat krávu, přijmout sannyās, obětovat předkům maso a plodit děti s manželkou svého bratra.” (Brahma-vaivarta Purāṇa)
