TRADUCCION
 | La reina Purañjanī abrazó al rey, y el rey correspondió envolviéndola con su abrazo. De esta manera, intercambiaron palabras jocosas en un lugar solitario. Así, el rey Purañjana quedó completamente cautivado por su hermosa esposa y perdió todo buen juicio, olvidando que, con el paso de los días y las noches, su vida se reducía sin provecho alguno.

SIGNIFICADO
| The word pramadā in this verse is very significant. A beautiful wife is certainly enlivening to her husband, but at the same time is the cause of degradation. The word pramadā means “enlivening” as well as “maddening.” Generally a householder does not take the passing of days and nights very seriously. A person in ignorance takes it as the usual course that days come, and after the days, the nights come. This is the law of material nature. But a man in ignorance does not know that when the sun rises early in the morning it begins to take away the balance of his life. Thus day after day the span of one’s life is reduced, and forgetting the duty of human life, the foolish man simply remains in the company of his wife and enjoys her in a secluded place. Such a condition is called apakṛṣṭa-cetana, or degraded consciousness. Human consciousness should be used for elevation to Kṛṣṇa consciousness. But when a person is too much attracted to his wife and family affairs, he does not take Kṛṣṇa consciousness very seriously. He thus becomes degraded, not knowing that he cannot buy back even a second of his life in return for millions of dollars. The greatest loss in life is passing time without understanding Kṛṣṇa. Every moment of our lives should be utilized properly, and the proper use of life is to increase devotional service to the Lord. Without devotional service to the Lord, the activities of life become simply a waste of time (śrama eva hi kevalam). Simply by becoming “dutiful” we do not make any profit in life. As confirmed in Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam (1.2.8):
| | dharmaḥ sv-anuṣṭhitaḥ puṁsāṁ
viṣvaksena-kathāsu yaḥ
notpādayed yadi ratiṁ
śrama eva hi kevalam
| | Cuando alguien cumple a la perfección con sus deberes prescritos, pero no progresa en el cultivo de Conciencia de Kṛṣṇa, debe entenderse que lo único que ha hecho es perder el tiempo en un esfuerzo inútil.
