Text 10] King Indra Annihilates the Demons 71
situated in the upper planetary system. Therefore, when one is un-
disturbed by the so-called favorable and unfavorable circumstances of
this material world, he should be understood to be brahma-bhiita, or
self-realized. As stated in Bhagavad-gita (18.54), brahma-bhitah
prasannatmé na Ssocati na kavksati: “‘One who is transcendentally situ-
ated at once realizes the Supreme Brahman and becomes fully joyful.”
When one is undisturbed by material circumstances, he should be under-
stood to be on the transcendental stage, above the reactions of the three
modes of material nature.
