TRANSLATION

Thereafter, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, having taken
possession of the container of nectar, smiled slightly and spoke in
attractive words. She said: My dear demons, if you accept whatever
I may do, whether honest or dishonest, then I can take respon-
sibility for dividing the nectar among you.

PURPORT

The Supreme Personality of Godhead cannot abide by anyone’s dicta-
tion. Whatever He does is absolute. The demons, of course, were deluded
by the illusory potency of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, and thus
Mohini-miarti got them to promise that whatever She would do they
would accept.
