If you have got beauty, you can do something wonderful. Sometimes in the history of the world we see that a great hero was conquered by beauty. That in the history, you know, what is that? Cleopatra? Caesar and Cleopatra. So? Beauty has got so power that the greatest conqueror was conquered by a beautiful woman.

So these are . . . as one has got power of money, one has got power of manpower, similarly beauty has also got power. He is analyzing, manye dhanābhijana-rūpa. And similarly austerity, tapasya. Just like that boy, that brahmin boy, he was powerful by tapasya, by austerity.

If you have got beauty, you can do something wonderful. Sometimes in the history of the world we see that a great hero was conquered by beauty. That in the history, you know, what is that? Cleopatra? Caesar and Cleopatra. So? Beauty has got so power that the greatest conqueror was conquered by a beautiful woman.

So these are . . . as one has got power of money, one has got power of manpower, similarly beauty has also got power. He is analyzing, manye dhanābhijana-rūpa. And similarly austerity, tapasya. Just like that boy, that brahmin boy, he was powerful by tapasya, by austerity.

His father was engaged in austerity, and because he born of such powerful father, he had also the power, austerity, and śrutaujas. Śrutauja means "by education." If one man is educated, highly educated, talented scholar, he has got power.

So by all this power . . . what is the meaning of this power? The power means that you can get . . . tejaḥ-prabhāva-bala-pauruṣa-buddhi-yogāḥ ([[Vanisource:SB 7.9.9|SB 7.9.9]]). If you have got power . . . suppose if you have got money, you can purchase high intelligence. Suppose if you want to start some business or some industry, it doesn't require . . . you do not require to become yourself very talented technologist to start some industry. You pay somebody.

There are many technologists, they will come and help you. So by the power of money you can purchase strength and prabhāva, influence. And pauruṣa—pauruṣa means name, good name. Just like in your country Mr. Henry Ford is known as a very powerful businessman. That is called pauruṣa. So one side, to get such thing as wealth, manpower, beauty, austerity, education, and out of that you get strength, name, fame—everything. But these are all material acquisition.
