TRANSLATION
The Lord was pacified after killing those kings who were burdensome
to the earth. They were puffed up with their military strength, their horses,
elephants, chariots, infantry, etc. He Himself was not a party in the fight.
He simply created hostility between the powerful administrators, and they
fought amongst themselves. He was like the wind which causes friction
between bamboos and so sparks a fire.
PURPORT
As stated above, the living beings are not factual enjoyers of things
which are manifested as God’s creation. The Lord is the genuine proprietor
and enjoyer of everything manifested in His creation. Unfortunately,
influenced by the deluding energy, the living being becomes a false enjoyer
under the dictation of the modes of nature. Puffed up by such a false
sense of becoming God, the deluded living being increases his material
strength by so many activities and thus becomes the burden of the earth,
