Text 272) Sarvabhauma Bhattacarya Offers Prasada 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-gita (9.13):
mahatmdnas tu mam partha
daivim prakrtim asritah
bhajanty ananya-manaso
jfiatva bhdtadim avyayam
“O son of Prtha, those who are not deluded, the great souls, are under the protec-
tion of the divine nature. They are fully engaged in devotional service because
they know Me as the Supreme Personality of Godhead, original and inexhaust-
ible.”
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.
