TEXT No. 31

Shri Raja uvacha;
Na te gudakesha yasodharanam
Baddhanjler vai bhayam asti kimchit
Na vartitavyam bhavata kathanchana
Kshetre madiye twam adharma bandhu.


ENGLISH SYNONYMS

Sri Raja uvacha—the king thus said, Na—not, Te—your, Gudakesha—Arjuna, Yasodharanam—of them who inherited the fame, Baddhanjaler—of one who with folded hands, Vai—certainly, Bhayam—fear, Asti—there is, Kimchit—even a slight, Na—neither, Vartitavyam—can be allowed to live, Bhavata—by you, Kathanchana—by all means, Kshetre—in the land, Madiye—in my kingdom, Twam—you, Adharmabandhu—the friend of irreligiosity.


TRANSLATION

We have inherited the fame of Arjuna and therefore as you have surrendered yourself with folded hands, you have by all means no fear of life neither you can remain in any land of my kingdom as you are the friend of irreligiosity.


PURPORT

The personality of Kali who is the friend of all kinds of irreligiosities may be excused if he surrenders but in all circumstances he cannot be allowed to domicile as citizen in any part of an welfare state. The Pandavas were entrusted representatives of the Personality of Godhead Lord Krishna who practically brought into being the battle of Kurukshetra but not for any personal interest. He wanted that an ideal king like Maharaj Yudhisthir and his descendants like Maharaj Parikshit should rule over the world and therefore a responsible king like Maharaj Parikshit cannot allow the friend of irreligiosity to flourish in the kingdom at the cost of good fame of the Pandavas. That is the way of wiping out corruption in the state and not otherwise. The friends of irreligiosity should be banished away from the state and that will save the state from corruption.
