pasyatah—were looking on; te—while you; samiyatuh—merged or

TRANSLATION

They both took birth again in human society as Sisupala and
Dantavakra and continued in the same enmity toward the Lord. It
is they who merged into the body of the Lord in your presence.

PURPORT

Vairanubandhena. Acting like the Lord’s enemy is also beneficial for
the living entity. Kamdd dvesad bhayat snehad. Whether in lusty desire,
anger, fear or envy of the Lord, somehow or other, as recommended by
Srila Rapa Gosvami (tasmat kenapy upayena), one should become at-
tached to the Supreme Personality of Godhead and ultimately achieve the
goal of returning home, back to Godhead. What, then, is to be said of one
who is related to the Supreme Personality of Godhead as a servant,
friend, father, mother or conjugal lover?
