Sapinda Relationship or in Blood Relationships
Incest amongst Yavanas and Mlecchas
ŚB 4.27.30
tvaṁ ca me bhaginī bhava
carāmy ubhābhyāṁ loke ’sminn
avyakto bhīma-sainikaḥ
Translation
The King of the Yavanas continued: Here is my brother Prajvāra. I now accept you as my sister. I shall employ both of you, as well as my dangerous soldiers, to act imperceptibly within this world.
Purport
Kālakanyā was sent by Nārada Muni to Yavana-rāja so that she might become his wife, but instead of accepting her as his wife, Yavana-rāja accepted her as his sister. Those who do not follow the Vedic principles are unrestricted as far as sex life is concerned. Consequently they sometimes do not hesitate to have sex with their sisters. In this Age of Kali there are many instances of such incest. Although Yavana-rāja accepted the request of Nārada Muni to show respect to him, he was nonetheless thinking of illicit sex. This was due to his being the King of the yavanas and mlecchas.
The word prajvāraḥ is very significant, for it means “the fever sent by Lord Viṣṇu.” Such a fever is always set at 107 degrees, the temperature at which a man dies. Thus the King of the mlecchas and yavanas requested the daughter of Time, Kālakanyā, to become his sister. There was no need to ask her to become his wife, for the yavanas and mlecchas do not make distinctions as far as sex life is concerned. Thus one may outwardly be a sister, mother or daughter and still have sex. Yavana-rāja’s brother was Prajvāra, and Kālakanyā was invalidity itself. Combined and strengthened by the soldiers of Yavana-rāja — namely nonhygienic conditions, illicit sex and ultimately a high degree of temperature to bring on death — they would be able to smash the materialistic way of life. In this connection it is significant that Nārada was immune to the attack of jarā, or invalidity. Similarly jarā, or the destructive force, cannot attack any follower of Nārada Muni or another pure Vaiṣṇava.

- Buy my book Rule of Saintly Kings
- A kingdom, state, or empire must be governed under the instructions of saintly persons and brahmaṇas like the Kumaras. When monarchy ruled throughout the world, the monarch was actually directed by a board of brahmaṇas and saintly persons. The king, as the administrator of the state, executed his duties as a servant of the brahmaṇas. It was not that the kings or brahmaṇas were dictators, nor did they consider themselves proprietors of the state. The kings were also well versed in Vedic literature and thus were familiar with the injunction of Sri isopanisad: isavasyam idaṁ sarvam — everything that exists belongs to the Supreme Personality of Godhead. In Bhagavad-gita Lord Kṛṣṇa also claims that He is the proprietor of all planetary systems (Sarva-Loka-maheśvaram). Since this is the case, no one can claim to be the proprietor of the state. The king, president, or head of the state should always remember that he is not the proprietor but the servant.
