132 Srimad-Bhagavatam [Canto 9, Ch. 4
TRANSLATION
Lord Siva said: My dear son, I, Lord Brahma and the other
demigods, who rotate within this universe under the misconcep-
tion of our greatness, cannot exhibit any power to compete with
the Supreme Personality of Godhead, for innumerable universes
and their inhabitants come into existence and are annihilated by
the simple direction of the Lord.
PURPORT
There are innumerable universes in the material world, and there are
innumerable Lord Brahmas, Lord Sivas and other demigods. All of them
rotate within this material world under the supreme direction of the Per-
sonality of Godhead. Therefore no one is able to compete with the
strength of the Lord. Lord Siva also refused to protect Durvasa, for Lord
Siva also was under the rays of the Sudarsana cakra sent by the Supreme
Personality of Godhead.
