"If that is so, then why is there seen in me the material qualities of attachment and hatred revealed by my showing favor or punishment?" "You desire, ‘Let me protect the devotees who are favorable to me and kill the demons who are inimical to me.’ By accepting such intentions out of affection for your devotees, for your pastimes, you protect the devas such as Indra, the devotees and munis, who act as the shelter for the people of the world (loka setun), and you destroy those who wander from the path. Thus raga and dvesa, attachment and repulsion, being aspects of your affection for you devotee, are not maya. Thus I have understood that your birth is for relieving the burden of the earth, your own devotee."

“If I am without fault why do I sometimes kill?” By pastimes with your devotees which arise at the proper time, consisting of various goals such as protecting those who follow your devotees and killing those opposed to your devotees, you protect Indra and other devatās and the sages who are shelter for the general populace. You kill those who oppose the proper path since you are the avatāra who has appeared to relieve the earth of her burden since she is your great devotee. Because you are so merciful to your topmost devotees such as the earth, your violence against the wicked is your great quality, beyond māyā.

Though you previously gave mercy as Nārāyaṇa and various avatāras, now you have appeared to manifest you unlimited qualities as bhagavān to benefit the world. You support the devatās by pastimes and kill the deviants from the correct path, who cause violence to others. Or unmārgān refers to demons and wicked kings who violent the scriptural path and live by violence or off other’s lives, like Rākṣasas. You have appeared from Devakī (janma) to relieve the burden of the earth by giving mukti and bhakti as suitable to the person. Or now more the previously you are distributing mercy. You support the devatās by pastimes such as infant activities (nānā-bhāvaiḥ), accepted for playing, not like humans who are forced to accept bodies by karma. You perform your childhood actions to give the highest bliss to the devaṭas and others, not as the Lord complete in himself. You nourish those of proper conduct (sādhūn) and devotees (loka-setūn). You create fear (haṁsi) in the demons when they hear about you. They also begin to meditate on you. Or you take those following paths contrary to bhakti and by hearing etc. have them give up the wrong paths and take to the correct path. You take birth to decorate the earth. Since I am most sinful, save me, who have surrendered to you by your mercy at this time, though I should be killed.
