TRANSLATION

Others also, the inhabitants of planets known as Kimpurusa-loka, made
the demon Maya into a calf, and they milked out mystic powers by which
one can disappear immediately from another’s vision and appear again in a
different form.

PURPORT

It is said that the inhabitants of Kimpurusa-loka can perform many
wonderful mystic demonstrations. In other words, they can exhibit as
many wonderful things as one can imagine. The inhabitants of this planet
can do whatever they like, or whatever they imagine. Such powers are
also mystic powers. The possession of such mystic power is called isita.
The demons generally learn such mystic powers by the practice of yoga.
In the Dasama-skandha, the Tenth Canto of Srimad-Bhagavatam, there is
a vivid description of how the demons appear before Krsna in various
wonderful forms. For instance, Bakasura appeared before Krsna and His
cowherd boy friends as a gigantic crane. While present on this planet, Lord
Krsna had to fight with many demons who could exhibit the wonderful
mystic powers of Kimpurusa-loka. Although the inhabitants of Kimpurusa-
loka are naturally endowed with such powers, one can attain these powers
on this planet by performing different yogic practices.
