A
- According to the boy's (Srngi's) opinion, the King (Maharaja Pariksit) was on the wrong side and not his father, and thus he justified his silent father
- After entering the hermitage and seeing his (Srngi's) father in that condition, he cried loudly so that he might be relieved. But it was too late. The father (Samika Rsi) regretted the whole incident
- As the dog is never allowed to enter within the room and hearth, although it is reared by the master, similarly, according to Srngi, the King (Maharaja Pariksit) had no right to enter the house of Samika Rsi
S
- Samika Muni sent news to the King (Maharaja Pariksit) that foolish Srngi, his son, although a powerful brahmana boy, unfortunately had misused his spiritual power by cursing the King unwarrantedly
- Since brahmanas are the heads of the social order, all other orders of society also began to deteriorate. This beginning of brahminical deterioration was highly deplored by the father of Srngi
- Srngi, a qualified son of a great brahmana, attained the required brahminical power both by birth and by training, but he was lacking in culture because he was an inexperienced boy
T
- The answer is that the offensive act was performed by a child (Srngi) only so that he could be excused very easily, and thus the prayer of the father (Samika Rsi) was accepted
- The boy (Srngi) was not happy because he committed a great mistake (cursing Maharaja Pariksit), and he wanted to be relieved of the burden on his heart by crying
- The brahmana's son, Srngi, said: O just look at the sins of the rulers who, like crows and watchdogs at the door, perpetrate sins against their masters, contrary to the principles governing servants
- The circumstances under which Maharaja Pariksit was cursed were simply childish, as it appears from this verse. Srngi was showing his impudency amongst his playmates, who were innocent
- The father (Samika Rsi father of Srngi) did not take the dead snake on his neck very seriously. He simply threw it away
- The foolish boy (Srngi) had done it out of sheer vanity in being a brahmana's son, and thus he became liable to be punished by the law of God
- The King (Maharaja Pariksit) was a devotee, and the rsi (Samika Rsi) was a mystic. Therefore both of them were unattached to the accidental incident created by the supreme will. The playful child (Srngi) was an instrument in fulfilling the Lord's will
- The King's (Pariksit's) anger and envy, directed toward the brahmana sage (Srngi's father), were unprecedented, being that circumstances had made him hungry and thirsty
- The offense of the King (Maharaja Pariksit) was most insignificant, and his being condemned to death was certainly a very great sin for Srngi. Therefore Rsi Samika regretted the whole incident
- The personality of Kali got the opportunity to reign through this son of a brahmana, Srngi
- The rsi prayed to the all-pervading Personality of Godhead to pardon his immature boy, who had no intelligence and who committed the great sin of cursing a person who was completely free from all sins, who was subordinate and who deserved to be protected
- The serious offense was committed by a foolish child only; therefore he deserved to be pardoned by the Supreme Lord, although it was not possible to get free from the sinful reaction
- The typical example is the son of Samika Rsi, and all the foolish sons of brahmanas are warned hereby not to become as foolish as Srngi and be always on guard against the demoniac qualities which they had in their previous births
- The whole incident is now cleared up. Maharaja Pariksit's garlanding the sage (Samika Rsi) with a dead snake was not at all a very serious offense, but Srngi's cursing the King was a serious offense
- There was nothing seriously wrong in Maharaja Pariksit's act (throwing a snake on Samika Rsi's shoulders) but the foolish son (Srngi) took it very seriously, and being influenced by Kali he cursed the King and thus ended a chapter of happy history
- This boy was known as Srngi, and he achieved good training in brahmacarya by his father so that he could be as powerful as a brahmana, even at that age
- This is a verse from Srimad-Bhagavatam, spoken by Maharaja Pariksit while he was sitting on the bank of the Ganges expecting to be bitten by a snake-bird summoned by the curse of a brahmana boy named Srngi, who was the son of a great sage named Samika
