You are no other than the personality of religiosity. #/div# #h4##span class="mw-headline" id="PURPORT"#PURPORT#/span##/h4# #div class="purport"# A devotee's conclusion is that nobody is directly responsible for becoming a benefactor or mischiefmonger without the sanction of the Lord, therefor he does not identify anyone directly resposible for such action. But in both the cases he takes it for granted that either benefit or loss it is God sent and as such it is His Grace. In case of benefit, nobody will deny it being god-sent but in case of loss or reverses it becomes doubful how the Lord could be unkind to His devotee as to put him in great difficulty. Jesus Christ was seemingly put into such great difficulty being crucified by the ignorant but he was never angry upon the mischief mongers. That is the way of accepting a thing, either favorable or unfavorable, by the devotee and as such for a devotee the identifier is equally a sinner like the directly mischiefmonger. As God's Grace the devotee tolerates all reverses upon him and Maharaj Parikshit observed this particular symptom of a devotee in the form a bull and therefore he could understand that the bull was no other than the personality of religiosity himself. In other words a devotee has no suffering at all; because the so called suffering is also God's Grace for a devotee who sees God in everything. They never placed any complaint before the king for being tortured by the personality of Kali although everyone lodges such kind of complaints before the state authorities. The extraordinary behaviour of the bull made the king to conclude that the bull was certainly the Personality of religiosity otherwise nobody could understand the finer intricacies of the codes of religion. #/div# #/div# please wait#div class="mw-parser-output"##p class="mw-empty-elt"# #h4##span class="mw-headline" id="TEXT_22"#TEXT 22#/span##/h4# #div class="verse"# #dl##dd#rājovāca#/dd# #dd#dharmaṁ bravīṣi dharma-jña#/dd# #dd#dharmo 'si vṛṣa-rūpa-dhṛk#/dd# #dd#yad adharma-kṛtaḥ sthānaṁ#/dd# #dd#sūcakasyāpi tad bhavet#/dd##/dl# #/div# #h4##span class="mw-headline" id="SYNONYMS"#SYNONYMS#/span##/h4# #div class="synonyms"# #i##a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" class="external text" href="//vanipedia.org/wiki/Special:VaniSearch?s=rājā&tab=syno_o&ds=1"#rājā #a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" class="external text" href="//vanipedia.org/wiki/Special:VaniSearch?s=uvāca&tab=syno_o&ds=1"#uvāca#/i# — the King said; #i##a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" class="external text" href="//vanipedia.org/wiki/Special:VaniSearch?s=dharmam&tab=syno_o&ds=1"#dharmam#/i# — religion; #i##a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" class="external text" href="//vanipedia.org/wiki/Special:VaniSearch?s=bravīṣi&tab=syno_o&ds=1"#bravīṣi#/i# — as you speak; #i##a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" class="external text" href="//vanipedia.org/wiki/Special:VaniSearch?s=dharma&tab=syno_o&ds=1"#dharma-#a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" class="external text" href="//vanipedia.org/wiki/Special:VaniSearch?s=jña&tab=syno_o&ds=1"#jña#/i# — O one who knows the codes of religion; #i##a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" class="external text" href="//vanipedia.org/wiki/Special:VaniSearch?s=dharmaḥ&tab=syno_o&ds=1"#dharmaḥ#/i# — the personality of religion; #i##a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" class="external text" href="//vanipedia.org/wiki/Special:VaniSearch?s=asi&tab=syno_o&ds=1"#asi#/i# — you are; #i##a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" class="external text" href="//vanipedia.org/wiki/Special:VaniSearch?s=vṛṣa&tab=syno_o&ds=1"#vṛṣa-#a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" class="external text" href="//vanipedia.org/wiki/Special:VaniSearch?s=rūpa&tab=syno_o&ds=1"#rūpa-#a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" class="external text" href="//vanipedia.org/wiki/Special:VaniSearch?s=dhṛk&tab=syno_o&ds=1"#dhṛk#/i# — in the disguise of a bull; #i##a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" class="external text" href="//vanipedia.org/wiki/Special:VaniSearch?s=yat&tab=syno_o&ds=1"#yat#/i# — whatever; #i##a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" class="external text" href="//vanipedia.org/wiki/Special:VaniSearch?s=adharma&tab=syno_o&ds=1"#adharma-#a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" class="external text" href="//vanipedia.org/wiki/Special:VaniSearch?s=kṛtaḥ&tab=syno_o&ds=1"#kṛtaḥ#/i# — one who acts irreligiously; #i##a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" class="external text" href="//vanipedia.org/wiki/Special:VaniSearch?s=sthānam&tab=syno_o&ds=1"#sthānam#/i# — place; #i##a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" class="external text" href="//vanipedia.org/wiki/Special:VaniSearch?s=sūcakasya&tab=syno_o&ds=1"#sūcakasya#/i# — of the identifier; #i##a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" class="external text" href="//vanipedia.org/wiki/Special:VaniSearch?s=api&tab=syno_o&ds=1"#api#/i# — also; #i##a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" class="external text" href="//vanipedia.org/wiki/Special:VaniSearch?s=tat&tab=syno_o&ds=1"#tat#/i# — that; #i##a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" class="external text" href="//vanipedia.org/wiki/Special:VaniSearch?s=bhavet&tab=syno_o&ds=1"#bhavet#/i# — becomes. #/div# #h4##span class="mw-headline" id="TRANSLATION"#TRANSLATION#/span##/h4# #div class="translation"# The King said: O you, who are in the form of a bull!
