Translation
After receiving obeisances from his daughter, the King, instead of offering blessings to her, appeared very displeased and spoke as follows.
Personal Guidance
Without offering his usual blessing, Śaryāti speaks in displeasure. Even great parents can let outward perception override their daughter's character; we must catch ourselves before we strike.
Reflection Questions
- When was the last time I let displeasure displace my normal warmth toward someone I love?
- Whose character should I be defending instead of doubting today?
