Although the perfected beings offer You their respectful homage, the demons are afraid, and they flee here and there. All this is rightly done.kasmāc ca te na nameran mahātmangarīyase brahmaṇo 'py ādi-kartreananta deveśa jagan-nivāsatvam akṣaraḿ sad-asat tat paraḿ yatO great one, greater even than Brahmā, You are the original creator.
