Význam

Purport

Oddaní polobohovia a démoni (asurovia) raz stĺkali oceán, aby získali nápoj nesmrteľnosti. Okrem nektáru vznikol stĺkaním i jed, ktorý vypil Śiva. Z oceánu vzišlo veľa iných bytostí, a medzi nimi aj kôň zvaný Uccaiḥśravā a slon Airāvata. Obe tieto zvieratá majú zvláštny význam, pretože boli zrodené z nektáru a obe predstavujú Kṛṣṇu.

The devotee demigods and the demons (asuras) once took part in churning the sea. From this churning, nectar and poison were produced, and Lord Śiva drank the poison. From the nectar were produced many entities, of which there was a horse named Uccaiḥśravā. Another animal produced from the nectar was an elephant named Airāvata. Because these two animals were produced from nectar, they have special significance, and they are representatives of Kṛṣṇa.

V ľudskej spoločnosti je kráľ predstaviteľom Kṛṣṇu. Králi, ktorých dosadzujú na trón pre ich božské vlastnosti, sú udržovateľmi kráľovstva, podobne ako je Kṛṣṇa udržiavateľom vesmíru. Králi ako Mahārāja Yudhiṣṭhira, Mahārāja Parīkṣit a Śrī Rāmacandra boli veľmi spravodlivými panovníkmi, ktorí mysleli iba na blaho svojich občanov. Vedy považujú kráľa za predstaviteľa Boha. V dnešnej dobe však so zánikom náboženských zásad upadá i kráľovské zriadenie a schyľuje sa k jeho zániku. Mali by sme si však uvedomiť, že kedysi boli ľudia pod vedením spravodlivých kráľov oveľa šťastnejší.

Amongst the human beings, the king is the representative of Kṛṣṇa because Kṛṣṇa is the maintainer of the universe, and the kings, who are appointed on account of their godly qualifications, are maintainers of their kingdoms. Kings like Mahārāja Yudhiṣṭhira, Mahārāja Parīkṣit and Lord Rāma were all highly righteous kings who always thought of the citizens’ welfare. In Vedic literature, the king is considered to be the representative of God. In this age, however, with the corruption of the principles of religion, monarchy decayed and is now finally abolished. It is to be understood that in the past, however, people were more happy under righteous kings.
