Text 58] The Cleansing of the Gundica Temple 29

“atma vai jayate putrah” —ei sastra-vani
putrera milane yena milibe dpani

SYNONYMS

atmd vai jayate putrah—his self appears as the son; ei—this; sastra-vani—the
indication of revealed scriptures; putrera milane—by meeting the son; yena—as
if; milibe—he will meet; apani—personally.

TRANSLATION

“It is indicated in the revealed scriptures that the son represents the father;
therefore the son’s meeting with Me would be just as good as the King’s meet-
ing with Me.”

PURPORT

In Srimad-Bhagavatam (10.78.36) it is said: adtma vai putra utpanna iti
vedanusasanam. The Vedas enjoin that one is born as his own son. The son is non-
different from the father, and this is admitted in every revealed scripture. In Chris-
tian theology it is believed that Christ, the son of God, is also God. Both of them
are identical.
