Seeing the four young naked boys who were as old as Brahmā but appearing to be five years old, who had realized Brahman, the gate keepers forbade them from entering, though they acted against the nature of the Lord and should not have done so, ignoring their great power. Generally they had no clothing, but actually they had small bells as decorations. Though they were as old as Brahmā, they appeared to be five years old boys. Seeing those brahma-jṣānīs, the gate keepers prevented them from entering by placing their sticks horizontally in front and saying “Do not enter the palace of the Lord.” The Kumāras did not deserve to be stopped. Ignoring their greatness, the gate keepers thought that the boys were proud because of their brahma-jṣāna. The gate keepers thus showed natures unfavorable to the Lord, who is affectionate to brāhmaṇas. Even the Lord’s servants should not obstruct his friendliness to brāhmaṇas, because they follow the qualities of the Lord’s mind. Being virtuous, the Kumāras should not have been punished.
