SECTION –CCXXXII
(Draupadi-Satyabhama
Samvada Continued)
"Draupadi said, 'I shall now indicate to
thee, for attracting the heart of thy husbands a way that is free from deceit.
By adopting it duly, dear friend, thou will be able to draw away thy lord from
other females. In all the worlds, including that of the celestials, there is no
god equal, O Satyabhama, unto the husband. When he is gratified with thee, thou
mayst have (from thy husband) every object of desire; when he is angry, all
these may be lost. It is from her husband that the wife obtaineth offspring and
various articles of enjoyment. It is from thy husband that thou mayst have
handsome beds and seats, and robes and garlands, and perfumes, and great fame
and heaven itself hereafter. One cannot obtain happiness here by means that are
easy. Indeed, the woman that is chaste, obtains weal with woe. Always adore
Krishna, therefore, with friendship and love physical sufferings. And do thou
also act in a way, by offering handsome seats and excellent garlands and
various perfumes and prompt service, that he may be devoted to thee, thinking,
'I am truly loved by her!' Hearing the voice of thy lord at the gate, rise thou
up from thy seat and stay in readiness within the room. And as soon as thou
seest him enter thy chamber, worship him by promptly offering him a seat and
water to wash his feet. And even when he commands a maidservant to do anything,
get thou up and do it thyself. Let Krishna understand this temper of thy mind
and know that thou adorest him with all thy heart. And, O Satyabhama, whatever
thy lord speaketh before thee, do not blab of it even if it may not deserve
concealment,--for if any of thy co-wives were to speak of it unto Vasudeva, he
might be irritated with thee. Feed thou by every means in thy power those that
are dear and devoted to thy lord and always seek his good. Thou shouldst,
however, always keep thyself aloof from those that are hostile to and against
thy lord and seek to do him injury, as also from those that are addicted to
deceit. Foregoing all excitement and carelessness in the presence of men,
conceal thy inclinations by observing silence, and thou shouldst not stay or
converse in private even with thy sons, Pradyumna and Samva. Thou shouldst form
attachments with only such females as are high-born and sinless and devoted to
their lords, and thou shouldst always shun women that are wrathful, addicted to
drinks, gluttonous, thievish, wicked and fickle. Behaviour such as this is
reputable and productive of prosperity; and while it is capable of neutralising
hostility, it also leadeth to heaven. Therefore, worship thou thy husband,
decking thyself in costly garlands and ornaments and smearing thyself with
unguents and excellent perfumes."
