inimical soldiers, and is smeared with their blood. One should also concen-
trate on the nice garland on the neck of the Lord, which is always
surrounded by bumblebees, with their nice buzzing sound, and one should
meditate upon the pearl necklace on the Lord’s neck, which is considered
to be the pure living entities who are always engaged in His service.

PURPORT

The yogi must contemplate the different parts of the transcendental
body of the Lord. Here it is stated that the constitutional position of the
living entities should be understood. There are two kinds of living entities
mentioned here. One is called the arati. They are averse to understanding
the pastimes of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. For them, the Lord
appears with His hand clutching the terrible mace, which is always smeared
with bloodstains from His killing of demons. Demons are also sons of the
Supreme Personality of Godhead. As stated in Bhagavad-gita, all the
different species of living entities are sons of the Supreme Personality of
Godhead. There are, however, two classes of living entities, who act in
two different ways. The Supreme Lord keeps those living entities who
are pure on His neck, as one protects the jewels and pearls on the bosom
and neck of one’s body. Those living entities in pure Krsna consciousness
are symbolized by the pearls on His neck. Those who are demons.and are
inimical towards the pastimes of the Supreme Personality of Godhead are
punished by His mace, which is always smeared with the blood of such
fallen living entities. The club of the Lord is very dear to Him because He
uses this instrument to smash the bodies of the demons and mix their
blood. As mud is kneaded with water and earth, so the earthly bodies of
the enemies of the Lord, or the atheists, are smashed by the club of the
Lord, which becomes muddied with the blood of such demons.
