🪷 ŚB 8.9.19

Sanskrit, transliteration, word meanings, and translation for steady Bhāgavata reading.

Sanskrit

असुराणां सुधादानं सर्पाणामिव दुर्नयम् । मत्वा जातिनृशंसानां न तां व्यभजदच्युत: ॥ १९ ॥

Transliteration

asurāṇāṁ sudhā-dānaṁ sarpāṇām iva durnayam matvā jāti-nṛśaṁsānāṁ na tāṁ vyabhajad acyutaḥ
Synonyms
asurāṇām — of the demons; sudhā-dānam — giving of the nectar; sarpāṇām — of snakes; iva — like; durnayam — miscalculation; matvā — thinking like that; jāti-nṛśaṁsānām — of those who are by nature very envious; na — not; tām — the nectar; vyabhajat — delivered the share; acyutaḥ — the Supreme Personality of Godhead, who never falls down.

Translation

Demons are by nature crooked like snakes. Therefore, to distribute a share of the nectar to them was not at all feasible, since this would be as dangerous as supplying milk to a snake. Considering this, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, who never falls down, did not deliver a share of nectar to the demons.
