Bhagavad-gītā As it Is — Bhagavad-gītā Como Ele É EM PROCESSO << 10 - The Opulence of the Absolute >> << 10 - A Opulência do Absoluto >> << VERSE 33 — VERSO 33 >> अक्षराणाम अकारॊ ऽसमि दवन्द्वः सामासिकस्य च अहम एवाक्षयः कालॊ धाताहं विश्वतॊमुखः akṣarāṇām a-kāro ’smi dvandvaḥ sāmāsikasya ca aham evākṣayaḥ kālo dhātāhaṁ viśvato-mukhaḥ WORD BY WORD — PALAVRA POR PALAVRA akṣarāṇām of letters a-kāraḥ the first letter asmi I am dvandvaḥ the dual sāmāsikasya of compounds ca and aham I am eva certainly akṣayaḥ eternal kālaḥ time dhātā the creator aham I am viśvataḥ-mukhaḥ Brahmā TRANSLATION — TRADUÇÃO Of letters I am the letter A, and among compound words I am the dual compound. I am also inexhaustible time, and of creators I am Brahmā. PURPORT — SIGNIFICADO A-kāra, the first letter of the Sanskrit alphabet, is the beginning of the Vedic literature. Without a-kāra, nothing can be sounded; therefore it is the beginning of sound. In Sanskrit there are also many compound words, of which the dual word, like rāma-kṛṣṇa, is called dvandva. In this compound, the words rāma and kṛṣṇa have the same form, and therefore the compound is called dual. Among all kinds of killers, time is the ultimate because time kills everything. Time is the representative of Kṛṣṇa because in due course of time there will be a great fire and everything will be annihilated. Among the living entities who are creators, Brahmā, who has four heads, is the chief. Therefore he is a representative of the Supreme Lord, Kṛṣṇa. << Previous Verso — Verso anterior | Next Verse — Próximo >>
