TRANSLATION

The demigod of fire, Agni, presented him a bow made of the horns of
goats and cows. The sun-god presented him arrows as brilliant as sunshine.
The predominating deity of Bhiloka presented him slippers full of mystic
power. The demigods from outer space brought him presentations of
flowers again and again.

PURPORT

This verse describes that the King’s slippers were invested with mystic
powers (padduke yogamayyau). Thus as soon as the King placed his feet in
the slippers they would immediately carry him wherever he desired.
Mystic yogis can transfer themselves from one place to another whenever
they desire. A similar power was invested in the slippers of King Prthu.
