The Story of King Vena
605
PURPORT
There are many demons who think of themselves as the Supreme and present themselves as the directors of the sun, moon and other planets. This is all due to false pride. Similarly, King Vena developed the demonic mentality and presented himself as the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Such demons are numerous in this age of Kali, and all of them are condemned by great sages and saintly persons.
TEXT 28
तस्मान्मां कर्ममिर्विप्रा यजघ्नं गतमत्सराः । वलिं च मह्यं हरत मत्तोऽन्यः कोऽग्रभुक् पुमान् ॥२८॥
tasmān mām karmabhir viprā yajadhvam gata-matsarāḥ balim ca mahyam harata matto 'nyaḥ ko 'gra-bhuk pumān
tasmāt—for this reason; mām—me; karmabhiḥ—by ritualistic activities; viprāḥ—O brāhmaṇas; yajadhvam—worship; gata—without; matsarāḥ—being envious; balim—paraphernalia for worship; ca—also; mahyam—unto me; harata—bring; mattaḥ—than me; anyaḥ—other; kaḥ—who (is); agra-bhuk—the enjoyer of the first oblations; pumān—personality.
TRANSLATION
King Vena continued: For this reason, O brāhmaṇas, you should abandon your envy of me, and, by your ritualistic activities, you should worship me and offer me all paraphernalia. If you are intelligent, you should know that there is no personality superior to me, who can accept the first oblations of all sacrifices.
PURPORT
As stated by Kṛṣṇa Himself throughout  Bhagavad-gītā , there is no truth superior to Him. King Vena was imitating the Supreme Personality of Godhead and was also speaking out of false pride, presenting himself as the Supreme Lord. These are all characteristics of a demonic person.
