Śukadeva Gosvāmī said: Seeing the kings of this earth busy trying to conquer her, the earth laughed. She said: These kings, who are playthings in the hands of death, desire to conquer me. The Third Chapter describes the laugher of the earth, the legs of dharma, the faults of Kali and remembrance of the Lord which destroys the influence of Kali. The end of the last chapter mentioned how foolish people try to control the whole earth. This topic is enlarged through the descriptions made by the earth. Mā means “me.”
