Translation
Seeing the superior good fortune of their enemies, the demons, unable to tolerate it, attacked the devatāṣ with raised weapons.
Seeing the demigods' superior opulence, the demons grew intolerant and raised weapons. Envy ignites when others receive what we missed. Defeated parties rarely accept defeat gracefully; they attack again.
Reflection Questions

  • Where am I 'raising weapons' against someone who already won fairly?
