prasaṅgād bahavo hatāḥ
prasaṅgād bahavo hatāḥ
bhrātur vadhābhitaptena
tvayāṅga bhrātṛ-vatsala
O son, affectionate to your brother! Aggrieved by the death of your brother, you have killed many Yakṣas for the offense of one Yakṣa, just because of their connection.
It is a fact that one Yakṣa killed your brother, and because the others are associated with him you are killing many.
|| 4.11.10 ||
nāyaṁ mārgo hi sādhūnāṁ
hṛṣīkeśānuvartinām
yad ātmānaṁ parāg gṛhya
paśuvad bhūta-vaiśasam
Killing of living entities just as the animals do, by accepting the body as the self, is not the path of the devotees of the Lord.
If the devotees do not come under control of material affection, then certainly they should not come under the control of violence to living entities. Accepting the body (ātmanam) as the self (parāg) just as animals think of others in relation to their bodies and then commit violence against others is not the path. Gṛhya instead of grītvā is poetic license. Another version has parāgṛhya. This has a negative meaning “not accepting the jīva as the self.”
|| 4.11.11 ||
sarva-bhūtātma-bhāvena
bhūtāvāsaṁ hariṁ bhavān
ārādhyāpa durārādhyaṁ
viṣṇos tat paramaṁ padam
By worshipping the Lord, rarely worshipped, as the abode of all beings, with the understanding that he is within all beings, you have achieved the supreme abode of the Lord.
Since you are the best of all devotees, such conduct is not befitting. This is expressed in two verses. Sarva-bhūtātma-bhāvena means “with thoughts that he is in all beings.”
|| 4.11.12 ||
sa tvaṁ harer anudhyātas
tat-puṁsām api sammataḥ
kathaṁ tv avadyaṁ kṛtavān
anuśikṣan satāṁ vratam
Always remembering the Lord, you have been recognized by the great devotees. You teach others the conduct of a saintly person. Why then do you act in this shameful way?
You always (anu) remember the Lord. And this means the Lord, out of affection, makes him remember. You are always considered by the devotees such as Nārada. This means that he is the object of mercy of these great devotees.
|| 4.11.13 ||
