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.
