TRANSLATION
Sri Sukadeva Gosvami said to Maharaja Pariksit: My dear King,
approximately 240,000 miles beneath the planet Patala lives another
incarnation of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. He is the expansion of
Lord Visnu known as Lord Ananta or Lord Sankarsana. He is always in the
transcendental position, but because He is worshiped by Lord Siva, the
deity of tamo-guna or darkness, He is sometimes called tamasi. Lord
Ananta is the predominating Deity of the material mode of ignorance as
well as the false ego of all conditioned souls. When a conditioned living
being thinks, "I am the enjoyer, and this world is meant to be enjoyed by
me," this conception of life is dictated to him by Sankarsana. Thus the
mundane conditioned soul thinks himself the Supreme Lord.

PURPORT
There is a class of men akin to Mayavadi philosophers who misinterpret
the aham brahmasmi and so'ham Vedic mantras to mean, "I am the Supreme
Brahman" and "I am identical with the Lord." This kind of false
conception, in which one thinks himself the supreme enjoyer, is a kind of
illusion. It is described elsewhere in Srimad-Bhagavatam (5.5.8): janasya
moho 'yam aham mameti. As explained in the above verse, Lord Sankarsana
is the predominating Deity of this false conception. Krsna confirms this
in

Bhagavad-gita (15.15):
sarvasya caham hrdi sannivisto
mattah smrtir jnanam apohanam ca

"I am seated in everyone's heart, and from Me come remembrance,
knowledge and forgetfulness." The Lord is situated in everyone's heart as
Sankarsana, and when a demon thinks himself one with the Supreme Lord,
the Lord keeps him in that darkness. Although such a demoniac living
entity is only an insignificant part of the Supreme Lord, he forgets his
true position and thinks he is the Supreme Lord. Because this
forgetfulness is created by Sankarsana, He is sometimes called tamasi.
The name tamasi does not indicate that He has a material body. He is
always transcendental, but because He is the Supersoul of Lord Siva, who
must perform tamasic activities, Sankarsana is sometimes called tamasi.

Dasa, I'm almost certain the majority of people who investigate these threads of yours see nothing more than a big old wall of wtf!? and fail to commence actually reading what you post in the OP.

Hope this helps 🙂

Dasa, you should be reading the Holy Bible to learn about the Lord Jesus
the Christ for He is the way, the truth, and the life. You need to discard
your prejudices about Christian meat eating for there are also those
Christians that are vegetarian and will not eat meat. So as a Christian
you would not be required to eat meat if you feel it is sinful.

Look at the very next verse, a wonderful one:

Deuteronomy 23

1 He that is wounded in the stones, or hath his privy member cut off, shall not enter into the congregation of the LORD.

2 A bastard shall not enter into the congregation of the LORD; even to his tenth generation shall he not enter into the congregation of the LORD.

Looks like Bobbit is out of luck, damned forever,eh.

and so any unlucky bastard

(hence denied into the congregation of "the LORD" at this point for at least 10 generations since: 2 A bastard shall not enter into the congregation of the LORD; even to his tenth generation shall he not enter into the congregation of the LORD.)
referred to as bobbit will not enter into the congregation of "the LORD"
which assuming never ever at this point introduces some redundancy into the statement that he won\'t get in for at least 10 generations by virtue of being a bastard (an unlucky bastard)
