ancient_paztriot Posted June 26, 2004 Report Share Posted June 26, 2004 SB 10.4.30 After hearing their master’s statement, the envious asuras, who were enemies of the demigods and were not very expert in their dealings, advised Kamsa as follows. PURPORT There are two different types of men—the asuras and the suras. dvau bhuta-sargau loke ’smin daiva asura eva ca visnu-bhaktah smrto daiva asuras tad-viparyayah (Padma Purana) Those who are devotees of Lord Visnu, Krsna, are suras, or devas, whereas those who are opposed to the devotees are called asuras. Devotees are expert in all transactions (yasyasti bhaktir bhagavaty akincana sarvair gunais tatra samasate surah). Therefore they are called kovida, which means “expert.” Asuras, however, although superficially showing expertise in passionate activities, are actually all fools. They are neither sober nor expert. Whatever they do is imperfect. Moghasa mogha-karmanah. According to this description of the asuras given in Bhagavad-gita (9.12), whatever they do will ultimately be baffled. It was such persons who advised Kamsa because they were his chief friends and ministers. ................................. Hey, the trolls on this board don't even deserve this complement. /images/graemlins/smile.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
