Bhagavad-gītā As it Is — Bhagavad-gītā Como Ele É EM PROCESSO << 10 - The Opulence of the Absolute >> << 10 - A Opulência do Absoluto >> << VERSE 28 — VERSO 28 >> आयुधानाम अहं वज्रं धेनूनाम अस्मि कामधुक परजनश चास्मि कन्दर्पः सर्पाणाम अस्मि वासुकिः āyudhānām ahaṁ vajraṁ dhenūnām asmi kāma-dhuk prajanaś cāsmi kandarpaḥ sarpāṇām asmi vāsukiḥ WORD BY WORD — PALAVRA POR PALAVRA āyudhānām of all weapons aham I am vajram the thunderbolt dhenūnām of cows asmi I am kāma-dhuk the surabhi cow prajanaḥ the cause for begetting children ca and asmi I am kandarpaḥ Cupid sarpāṇām of serpents asmi I am vāsukiḥ Vāsuki TRANSLATION — TRADUÇÃO Of weapons I am the thunderbolt; among cows I am the surabhi. Of causes for procreation I am Kandarpa, the god of love, and of serpents I am Vāsuki. PURPORT — SIGNIFICADO The thunderbolt, indeed a mighty weapon, represents Kṛṣṇa’s power. In Kṛṣṇaloka in the spiritual sky there are cows which can be milked at any time, and they give as much milk as one likes. Of course such cows do not exist in this material world, but there is mention of them in Kṛṣṇaloka. The Lord keeps many such cows, which are called surabhi. It is stated that the Lord is engaged in herding the surabhi cows. Kandarpa is the sex desire for presenting good sons; therefore Kandarpa is the representative of Kṛṣṇa. Sometimes sex is engaged in only for sense gratification; such sex does not represent Kṛṣṇa. But sex for the generation of good children is called Kandarpa and represents Kṛṣṇa. << Previous Verso — Verso anterior | Next Verse — Próximo >>
