TRANSLATION

As the blazing fire of death, I cause great fear to whoever makes the
least discrimination between himself and other living entities because of a
differential outlook.

PURPORT

There are bodily differentiations among all varieties of living entities,
but a devotee should not distinguish between one living entity and another
on such a basis; a devotee’s outlook should be that both the soul and
Supersoul are equally present in all varieties of living entities.
