• doḥ-sahasram — one thousand arms
  Compound: doḥ (arm) + sahasram (thousand). Granted as a boon for drumming Śiva's dance. Gauḍīyas note: when sevā becomes a means to inflate the servant, the servant's instrument turns into ballast.
• bhārāya — (merely) a burden
  Dative of bhāra. The word that Vidura uses for an unused body (SB 3.5.45) and that Prabhupāda often repeats: 'this body is simply a burden if it does not serve Kṛṣṇa.' Bāṇa's complaint is accidentally true — and he is its proof.
• tri-lokyam — in the three worlds
  Locative compound: tri (three) + lokyam (worlds, bhūr-bhuvar-svar). Bāṇa scans only the cosmos of duality; he cannot see the spiritual world where Kṛṣṇa stands, who alone can answer him. The narrowness of asuric sight.
• pratiyoddhāram — an opposing fighter
  Accusative of prati-yoddhṛ. The very category Bāṇa craves is the opposite of bhakti — bhakti seeks a Lord, not an opponent. Gauḍīyas read his demand as the asuric reversal of śaraṇāgati: he wants someone to defeat, not someone to serve.

• Padaseva Pr SB 10-62-06 Oriya
  His Grace Padaseva Prabhu· Oriya

Like a body-builder who, having no rival, complains to the very master who gave him his strength, Bāṇa calls his thousand arms a burden. Power without a higher object to serve always curdles into restlessness — the demonic mood in miniature.
