TRANSLATION

When the King and his associates saw the glowing effulgence of the
four Kumaras, the masters of all mystic power, they could recognize them
as they descended from the sky.

PURPORT

The four Kumaras are described herein as siddhesvaran, which means
“masters of all mystic power.” One who has attained perfection in yoga
practice immediately becomes master of the eight mystic perfections—
to become smaller than the smallest, to become lighter than the lightest,
to become bigger than the biggest, to achieve anything he desires, to con-
trol everything, etc. These four Kumaras, as siddhesvaras, had achieved
all the yogic perfectional achievements, and as such they could travel
in outer space without machines. While they were coming to Maharaja
Prthu from other planets, they did not come by airplane, but personally.
In other words, these four Kumaras were also spacemen who could travel
in space without machines. The residents of the planet which is known as
Siddhaloka can travel in outer space from one planet to another without
vehicles. However, the special power of the Kumaras mentioned herewith
is that whatever place they went to would immediately become sinless.
During the reign of Maharaja Prthu, everything on the surface of this globe
was sinless, and therefore the Kumaras decided to see the King. Ordinarily
they do not go to any planet which is sinful.
