Text 272] Sārvabhauma Bhaṭṭācārya Offers Prasāda to the Lord
141
Lord's service, the devotees themselves are as great as the Supreme Personality of Godhead. The word  mahat  is also explained in  Bhagavad-gīta  (9.13):
mahātmānas tu māṁ pārtha daivīṁ prakṛtim āśritāḥ bhajanty ananya-manaso jñātvā bhūtādim avyayam
“O son of Pṛthā, those who are not deluded, the great souls, are under the protection of the divine nature. They are fully engaged in devotional service because they know Me as the Supreme Personality of Godhead, original and inexhaustible.”
Being envious of the Lord and His devotees is not at all auspicious for a demon. By such envy, a demon loses everything considered beneficial.
