Commentary · English

A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada

The devotee demigods and the demons ( asuras ) once took part in churning the sea. From this churning, nectar and poison were produced, and Lord Śiva drank the poison. From the nectar were produced many entities, of which there was a horse named Uccaiḥśravā. Another animal produced from the nectar was an elephant named Airāvata. Because these two animals were produced from nectar, they have special significance, and they are representatives of Kṛṣṇa. Amongst the human beings, the king is the representative of Kṛṣṇa because Kṛṣṇa is the maintainer of the universe, and the kings, who are appointed on account of their godly qualifications, are maintainers of their kingdoms. Kings like Mahārāja Yudhiṣṭhira, Mahārāja Parīkṣit and Lord Rāma were all highly righteous kings who always thought of the citizens’ welfare. In Vedic literature, the king is considered to be the representative of God. In this age, however, with the corruption of the principles of religion, monarchy decayed and is now finally abolished. It is to be understood that in the past, however, people were more happy under righteous kings.

Swami Chinmayananda

।।10.27।। सुर और असुरों के द्वारा क्षीरसागर का मन्थन करके अमृत प्राप्त करने की पौराणिक कथा सुप्रसिद्ध है। इस मन्थन की प्रकिया के समय पंखयुक्त शक्तिशाली और समर्थ ऐसा एक अश्व प्रकट हुआ था? जिसका नाम उच्चैश्रवा था? तथा ऐरावत नाम का एक श्वेत गज भी प्रकट हुआ था। इन दोनों को देवताओं के राजा इन्द्र को उपहार के रूप में भेंट किया गया था। पौराणिक वर्णन के अनुसार इस प्रकार की कुल तेरह आकर्षक वस्तुएं उस मन्थन में प्रकट हुई थीं।

Swami Ramsukhdas

।।10.27।। व्याख्या--'उच्चैःश्रवसमश्वानां विद्धि माममृतोद्भवम्'--समुद्रमन्थनके समय प्रकट होनेवाले चौदह रत्नोंमें उच्चैःश्रवा घोड़ा भी एक रत्न है। यह इन्द्रका वाहन और सम्पूर्ण घोड़ोंका राजा है। इसलिये भगवान्ने इसको अपनी विभूति बताया है। 'ऐरावतं गजेन्द्राणाम्'--हाथियोंके समुदायमें जो श्रेष्ठ होता है, उसको गजेन्द्र कहते हैं। ऐसे गजेन्द्रोंमें भी ऐरावत हाथी श्रेष्ठ है। उच्चैःश्रवा घोड़ेकी तरह ऐरावत हाथीकी उत्पत्ति भी समुद्रसे हुई है और यह भी इन्द्रका वाहन है। इसलिये भगवान्ने इसको अपनी विभूति बताया है। 'नराणां च नराधिपम्' -- सम्पूर्ण प्रजाका पालन, संरक्षण, शासन करनेवाला होनेसे राजा सम्पूर्ण मनुष्योंमें श्रेष्ठ है। साधारण मनुष्योंकी अपेक्षा राजामें भगवान्की ज्यादा शक्ति होती है। इसलिये भगवान्ने राजाको अपनी विभूति बताया है (टिप्पणी प0 559)।इन विभूतियोंमें जो बलवत्ता, सामर्थ्य है, वह भगवान्से ही आयी है, अतः उसको भगवान्की ही मानकर भगवान्का चिन्तन करना चाहिये।
