Text 21] The Battle Between Lord Boar and Hiranyaksa 717

the sake of the world between the demon and the Personality of Godhead
who appeared in the form of a boar.

PURPORT

The fight between the Lord, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, and
the demon is compared to a bullfight for the sake of a cow. The earth
planet is also called go or cow. As bulls fight between themselves to ascer-
tain who will have union with a cow, so there is always a constant fight be-
tween the demon and the Supreme Lord or His representative for supre-
macy over the earth. Here the Lord is significantly described as yajndvayava.
One should not consider the Lord to have the body of an ordinary boar.
He can assume any form, and He possesses all such forms eternally. It is
from Him that all other forms have emanated. This boar form is not to be
considered the form of an ordinary hog; His body is actually full of yajria,
or worshipful offerings. Yajfia (sacrifices) are offered to Visnu. Yajiia
means the body of Visnu. His body is not material; therefore He should
not be taken to be an ordinary boar.

Bralima is described in this verse as svarat. Actually, full independence
is exclusive to the Lord Himself, but as part and parcel of the Supreme
Lord, every living entity las a minute quantity of independence. Each and
every one of the living entities within this universe has this minute indepen-
dence, but Bralima, being the chief of all living entities, has a greater
potential of independence than any other. He is the representative of
Krsna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, and has been assigned to pre-
side over universal affairs. All other demigods work for him; therefore he
is described here as svarat. Ile is always accompanied by great sages and
transcendentalists, all of whom came to see the bullfight between the de-
mon and the Lord,
