True responsibility means never compensating material loss; only Krishna consciousness resolves enmity created by karma.Listen — Srila Prabhupada Uvaca
Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 1.8.51 — May 13, 1973, Los Angeles 730513SB-LOS ANGELES [32:24 Minutes] SB-01.08.51_730513SB-LOS ANGELES Pradyumna: ...mo bhagavate vāsudevāya. Oṁ namo bhagavate vāsudevāya. Oṁ namo bhagavate vāsudevāya. [leads chanting of verse] [Prabhupāda and devotees repeat] strīṇāṁ mad-dhata-bandhūnāṁ droho yo 'sāv ihotthitaḥ karmabhir gṛhamedhīyair nāhaṁ kalpo vyapohitum [SB 1.8.51] [break]
Prabhupāda: Word meaning. Pradyumna: strīṇām—of the women; mat—by me; hata-bandhūnām—of the friends who are killed; drohaḥ—enmity; yaḥ—that; asau—all those; iha—herewith; utthitaḥ—has accrued; karmabhiḥ—by dint of work; gṛhamedhīyaiḥ—by persons engaged in material welfare; na—never; aham—I; kalpaḥ—can expect; vyapohitum—undoing the same. [03:25] Jagadīśa: "I have killed many friends of women and have thus caused enmity to such an extent that it is not possible to undo it by material welfare work." Prabhupāda: So here is a special reference to the woman, strīṇām. Previously there was reference of bāla-dvija.
Eh? Previous verse? [looks for verse] Yes. Bāla-dvija-suhṛn-mitra-pitṛ-bhrātṛ-guru-druhaḥ [SB 1.8.49].
Bāla. Bāla means children. Dvija. Dvija means brāhmaṇa or Vaiṣṇava, who are fully engaged in the matter of cultivating spiritual knowledge.
Brahma jānātīti brāhmaṇaḥ: one who knows what is Absolute Truth, Brahman. So children, brāhmaṇa, and here it is said strī, woman. According to Vedic politics, the children and brāhmaṇa, old men and woman, they have no fault. They are out of all laws of the state. Their fault will never be taken as seriously.
They are innocent. They require protection. Now the agitation is that woman should have equal rights with man. So that is not Vedic idea.
Vedic idea is that woman should be always protected. She is not independent. Just like child. All these children, their mother is always attentive.
