(Jadabharata continues his line of
argument or clarification to King Rahugana, who had tried to chide Jadabharata
for carrying the palanquin erratically. This particular line of thought can be
a lesson to several people around us today. PLEASE SHARE IT IF YOU LIKE IT)

Jadabharata states:
“Owing to the pride of being a king, you
are getting the works done for free from these poor guys. By doing so, you are
inviting more misery. In spite of that, you still boast yourself as their king
and take pride in saying so. You are cruel and you will not shine in any
confluence of knowledgeable persons. You are not the protector, not the king.
Lord Vishnu alone is the protector and Vishnu alone is the King and He is
present in you.”
Some commentators alter the words “ShOchyAnimAmstAnaDhikastadeenAn”
into ShOchyAnimAn twamaDhikaShTadeenAn” and say that it means Jadabharata had
said (or meant): “You are forcefully making the servants, who are suffering a
lot of trouble and are desperate, carry the palanquin and you are not a king by
quality or character. You only have a body of a king…” On the contrary, Sri
Madhwacharya clarifies, what Jadabharata meant to state was that the king had a
wrong or false pride by misunderstanding the life he was enjoying was because
of his own inherent quality or eligibility some other trait. In reality, Lord
Vishnu is the ONLY king, which Jadabharata wanted King Rahugana to realise,
conceive and follow. Jadabharata wanted the king to be aware of the fact that he
was not the real king and that Hari was the real king.

Quote Jadabharata:
“Just as Hari is the primary Karta or
doer of all our acts of carrying the weight of palanquin, walking etc., being a
king perchance, you are not the King but Lord, who is intrinsic, is the king in
reality.”
This
leads to another question that commentators raise: “If that is the way, then it
should not be said that someone is walking on the ground. It should be stated
that someone is walking on or in Lord Hari.” Jadabharata clarifies this too,
which can be perceived in the next post. (to be continued). SRI
