Text 2] Ambarisa Maharaja Offended by Durvasa Muni 87

Sri-Sukah uvdca—Sri Sukadeva Gosvami said; nabhagah—Nabhaga;
nabhaga-apatyam—was the son of Maharaja Nabhaga; yam—unto
whom; tatam—the father; bhrdtarah—the elder brothers; kavim—the
learned; yavistham—the youngest; vyabhajan—divided; dayam—the
property; brahmacdrinam—having accepted the life of a brahmacari
perpetually (naisthika); agatam—returned.

TRANSLATION
Sukadeva Gosvami said: The son of Nabhaga named Nabhaga

lived for a long time at the place of his spiritual master. Therefore,
his brothers thought that he was not going to become a grhastha
and would not return. Consequently, without providing a share
for him, they divided the property of their father among them-
selves. When Nabhaga returned from the place of his spiritual
master, they gave him their father as his share.

PURPORT

There are two kinds of brahmacdaris. One may return home, marry
and become a householder, whereas the other, known as brhad-vrata,
takes a vow to remain a brahmacdri perpetually. The brhad-vrata
brahmacari does not return from the place of the spiritual master; he
stays there, and later he directly takes sannydsa. Because Nabhaga did
not return from the place of his spiritual master, his brothers thought
that he had taken brhadvrata-brahmacarya. Therefore, they did not
preserve his share, and when he returned they gave him their father as
his share.
