Traducción
Translation
El rey Rahūgaṇa entendió las razones de los porteadores, que temían ser castigados. También comprendió que las irregularidades en la marcha del palanquín eran culpa de una sola persona. Perfectamente convencido de esto, escuchó la explicación de los porteadores, y aunque era un hombre de gran experiencia y muy versado en la ciencia política, se irritó un poco. Esa ira se debía a su naturaleza innata de rey. En realidad, la mente del rey Rahūgaṇa estaba cubierta por la modalidad de la pasión; por esa razón, dirigió las siguientes palabras a Jaḍa Bharata, cuya refulgencia Brahman estaba velada como un fuego cubierto por cenizas y no era claramente visible.
King Rahūgaṇa could understand the speeches given by the carriers, who were afraid of being punished. He could also understand that simply due to the fault of one person, the palanquin was not being carried properly. Knowing this perfectly well and hearing their appeal, he became a little angry, although he was very advanced in political science and was very experienced. His anger arose due to his inborn nature as a king. Actually King Rahūgaṇa’s mind was covered by the mode of passion, and he therefore spoke as follows to Jaḍa Bharata, whose Brahman effulgence was not clearly visible, being covered like a fire covered by ashes.

En este verso se explica la diferencia entre rajo-guṇa y sattva-guṇa. El rey era muy justo y estaba muy versado en la ciencia política y en la administración del gobierno, pero, a pesar de ello, estaba bajo la influencia de la modalidad de la pasión; por esta razón, bastó una pequeña agitación para que se irritase. Jaḍa Bharata, a pesar de todas las injusticias que había tenido que soportar por actuar como un sordomudo, gracias a la fuerza de su avance espiritual, permaneció callado. No obstante, su brahma-tejaḥ, su refulgencia Brahman, no se podía apreciar con claridad.
The distinction between rajo-guṇa and sattva-guṇa is explained in this verse. Although the King was very upright and advanced in political science and governmental management, he was nonetheless in the mode of passion, and therefore, due to a slight agitation, he became angry. Jaḍa Bharata, despite all kinds of injustice endured because of his deaf and dumb display, remained silent by the strength of his spiritual advancement. Nonetheless his brahma-tejaḥ, his Brahman effulgence, was indistinctly visible in his person.
