his position, he considers himself God. Just see how he has transgressed the laws of religion.
PURPORT
Śrīla Viśvanātha Cakravartī Thākura has diverted the entire meaning of this verse as spoken by Durvāsā Muni. Durvāsā Muni used the word  nṛ-śaṁsasya  to indicate that the King was cruel, but Viśvanātha Cakravartī Thākura interprets it to mean that the King's character was glorified by all the local people. He says that the word  nṛ  means "by all the local people" and that  śaṁsasya  means "of he (Ambarīṣa) whose character was glorified." Similarly, one who is very rich becomes mad because of his wealth and is therefore called  śriyā-unmattasya , but Śrīla Viśvanātha Cakravartī Thākura interprets these words to mean that although Mahārāja Ambarīṣa was such an opulent king, he was not mad after money, for he had already surpassed the madness of material opulence. Similarly, the word  īśa-māninaḥ  is interpreted to mean that he was so respectful to the Supreme Personality of Godhead that he did not transgress the laws for observing Ekādaśī-pāraṇa, despite the thinking of Durvāsā Muni, for he only took water. In this way, Śrīla Viśvanātha Cakravartī Thākura has supported Ambarīṣa Mahārāja and all his activities.
