Visarga· Brahmā's creationSpiritual Expertise Leads Souls Back to Godhead
“When Prajāpati Dakṣa was lamenting for his lost children, Lord Brahmā pacified him with instructions, and thereafter Dakṣa begot one thousand more children in the womb of his wife, Pāñcajanī. This time his sons were known as the Savalāśvas.”
What the purport teaches
- Lord Brahmā pacified Dakṣa with instructions. Dakṣa then begot one thousand more sons through Pāñcajanī, known as the Savalāśvas.
- Dakṣa was expert in begetting children, while Nārada Muni was expert in delivering conditioned souls back to Godhead. The sons Dakṣa considered lost had actually returned home to Godhead.
- Materialistic experts do not agree with the spiritual expert Nārada Muni. Their disagreement does not make him abandon chanting the Hare Kṛṣṇa mantra.
