TEXT 6
सपत्नैर्घातितः क्षुद्रैर्घ्राता मे दयितः सुहृत् । पार्ष्णिग्राहेण हरिणा समेनाप्युपधावनैः ॥ ६ ॥
sapatnair ghātitaḥ kṣudrair bhrātā me dayitaḥ suhṛt pārṣṇi-grāheṇa hariṇā samenāpy upadhāvanaiḥ
sapatnaiḥ —by the enemies*;  ghātitaḥ —killed;  kṣudraiḥ —insignificant in power;  bhrātā —brother;  me —my;  dayitaḥ —very dear;  suhṛt —well-wisher;  pārṣṇi-grāheṇa —attacking from the rear;  hariṇā —by the Supreme Personality of Godhead;  samena —equal to everyone (both the demigods and demons);  api —although;  upadhāvanaiḥ —by the worshipers, the demigods.
TRANSLATION
My insignificant enemies the demigods have combined to kill my very dear and obedient well-wisher, my brother Hiraṇyākṣa. Although the Supreme Lord, Viṣṇu, is always equal to both of us—namely, the demigods and the demons—this time, being devoutly worshiped by the demigods, He has taken their side and helped them kill Hiraṇyākṣa.
*Both the demons and demigods understand the Supreme Personality of Godhead to be the supreme master, but the demigods follow the master whereas the demons defy Him. Thus the demigods and demons are compared to the two co-wives of one husband. Each wife is the  sapatnī  (co-wife) of the other, and therefore the word  sapatnaiḥ  is used here.
