TRANSLATION

Then he reached the Vibhavari, the home of Varuna, the lord of the
aquatic creatures and the guardian of the lower regions of the universe
where the demons generally reside. He fell there at the latter’s feet like a
lowborn man, and to make fun of him he said with a smile, ‘“‘Give me
battle, O Supreme Lord!”

PURPORT

The demoniac person always challenges others and tries to occupy
others’ property by force. Here these symptoms are fully displayed by
Hiranyakga, who begged war from a person who had no desire to fight.
