Lord Viṣṇu; Lord Brahmā; Lord Śiva; Lord Indra; Vāyu, the master of air; Yama, the superintendent of death; the sun-god; the director of rainfall; Kuvera, the treasurer; the moon-god; the predominating deity of the earth; Agni, the fire-god; Varuṇa, the lord of waters; and all others who are great and competent to bestow benedictions or to curse — all abide in the body of the king. For this reason the king is known as the reservoir of all demigods, who are simply parts and parcels of the king’s body.
Purport
There are many demons who think of themselves as the Supreme and present themselves as the directors of the sun, moon and other planets. This is all due to false pride. Similarly, King Vena developed the demonic mentality and presented himself as the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Such demons are numerous in this Age of Kali, and all of them are condemned by great sages and saintly persons.

Translation
Viṣṇu, Brahmā, Śiva, Indra, Vāyu, Yama, the sun-god, the rain god, Kuvera, the moon-god, the earth deity, Agni, Varuṇa, and all other devatās, competent to bestow benedictions or curses, reside in the body of the King. The King is the composite of all devatās.
Personal Guidance
Viṣṇu, Brahmā, Śiva, Indra, Vāyu, Yama, sun-god, etc. — all of them are in my body, says Vena. The demonic absorbs every sacred name into itself; refusal to be incorporated is itself a discipline.
Reflection Questions
- Where am I tempted to absorb every authority into my own self-conception?
- Whose presence in your circle currently 'absorbs' all credit, leaving no room for actual gods or givers?
