Text 7] Durvasa Muni’s Life Spared 155

Sudarsana cakra does not discriminate between bradhmana demons and
Stidra demons. Anyone against the Supreme Personality of Godhead and
His devotees is called a demon. In the sdastras we find many bréhmanas
and ksatriyas who acted as demons and have been described as demons.
According to the verdict of the sdstras, one has to be understood accord-
ing to his symptoms. If one is born of a braéhmana father but his
symptoms are demoniac, he is regarded as a demon. The Sudarsana cakra
is always concerned with annihilating the demons. Therefore he is de-
scribed as adharma-silasura-dhiima-ketave. Those who are not devotees
are called adharma-sila. The Sudargana cakra is just like an inauspicious
comet for all such demons.
