Daksa came back to life and regretted his mistakes. He also remembered the death of his daughter, which caused him great pain. Even having now the head of a goat, he regained his intelligence.
Hare Krishna Prabhu, very enlightening as always 🙏
I have had some questions about this pastime for some time if you don't mind?
1. What is meant by the different demigods receiving their share of the sacrifice? What are they receiving and do the demigods need these sacrifices? (I think I've read that the demons think that this is how demigods get their power).
2. Lord Vishnu is the acceptor of the sacrifice as the flame. Why does He accept the animals being sacrificed as this wouldn't be an offering in the mode of goodness?
3. Can you please elaborate how the different species were produced from the wombs of the women described. From a scientific standpoint I am trying to understand ( if it's possible to understand scientifically)
1- In sacrifices, the oblations are offered to Lord Vishnu (represented by Agni) and the prasada goes to the demigods. Just as we are nourished by the prasada we receive, demigods are also nourished :) When Indra couldn't receive his share of sacrifices when he was hiding from the personified sinful reaction inside the lake, he starved.
2- As far as I understand, animals are not offered to the fire, but simply killed and then resurrected by mantra, as a show of the efficacy of the mantras.
3- These are not regular women, but subtle, mystical beings. In combination with the prajapatis, they can generate all kinds of living beings. Their reproduction is not based on copy of DNA like in our case. They generate new bodies from scratch, instead of just generating combinations or copies of our own bodies like in our case.
