Traducción
Translation
Cuando Satī llegó con sus seguidores al lugar del sacrificio, nadie le brindó una buena acogida, pues todos los presentes temían a Dakṣa. Nadie le dio la bienvenida; solo su madre y sus hermanas, que, con lágrimas en los ojos y alegría en el rostro, salieron a recibirla y le ofrecieron palabras muy dulces.
When Satī, with her followers, reached the arena, because all the people assembled were afraid of Dakṣa, none of them received her well. No one welcomed her but her mother and sisters, who, with tears in their eyes and with glad faces, welcomed her and talked with her very pleasingly.
Significado
Purport
Nadie dio una buena acogida a Satī, pero su madre y sus hermanas no pudieron evitarlo. Llevadas por su afecto natural, inmediatamente la abrazaron con lágrimas en los ojos y expresiones de cariño. Esto muestra que la mujer, en general, tiene buen corazón; ninguna medida artificial puede reprimir su amor y su afecto natural. Aunque los hombres allí presentes eran brāhmaṇas eruditos y semidioses, tenían miedo de Dakṣa, su superior, y como sabían que él se disgustaría si daban la bienvenida a Satī, no podían hacerlo, a pesar de que ese deseo estaba en sus mentes. Las mujeres por naturaleza tienen buen corazón, pero los hombres a veces tienen el corazón muy duro.
The mother and sisters of Satī could not follow the others, who did not receive Satī very well. Due to natural affection, they immediately embraced her with tears in their eyes and with loving feelings. This shows that women as a class are very softhearted; their natural affection and love cannot be checked by artificial means. Although the men present were very learned brāhmaṇas and demigods, they were afraid of their superior, Dakṣa, and because they knew that their welcoming Satī would displease him, although in their minds they wanted to receive her, they could not do so. Women are naturally softhearted, but men are sometimes very hardhearted.
