Srimad Bhagavatam — Tritiya Skandha, Shloka 6
The Slaying of Hiraṇyākṣa and the Triumph of Varāha
तं व्यग्रचक्रं दितिपुत्राधमेन स्वपार्षदमुख्येन विषज्जमानम् । चित्रा वाचोऽतद्विदां खेचराणां तत्र स्मासन् स्वस्ति तेऽमुं जहीति ॥ ६ ॥
taṁ vyagra-cakraṁ diti-putrādhamena sva-pārṣada-mukhyena viṣajjamānam citrā vāco ’tad-vidāṁ khe-carāṇāṁ tatra smāsan svasti te ’muṁ jahīti
Cuando el disco Sudarśana giró con ímpetu en la mano del Señor y Él trabó combate cuerpo a cuerpo con Hiraṇyākṣa, vil hijo de Diti—nacido como principal asistente de Vaikuṇṭha—, desde todas las direcciones brotaron extrañas voces de los que miraban desde naves aéreas, ignorantes de la verdad del Señor: «¡Victoria y buen augurio para Ti! ¡Mátalo ya! ¡No juegues más con él!»
FAQs
This verse describes sky-dwelling beings calling out “Victory to You—kill him!” as the Lord’s discus whirls in combat, showing how even those not fully situated in tattva still instinctively seek the Lord’s triumph over adharma.
Their cries are emotionally supportive but not rooted in deep spiritual understanding; the narration contrasts superficial excitement with true knowledge of the Lord’s supreme position and purpose.
Support what is righteous, but also cultivate right understanding—move from reactive cheering to informed devotion by studying śāstra and aligning one’s actions with dharma.
