Just as you appear in various other forms, you assume these two forms for the benefit of the three worlds, for removing suffering and for giving liberation. Having manifested these forms, you make them disappear, like a spider that produces thread and then consumes it. Therefore you appear in this world to allow us to worship you and to let yourself be controlled by the prema of your devotees with matured bhakti. But not only for this purpose do you appear. You come to protect the universe. That is explained in this verse. Mṛtyu-jityai means “for giving liberation.” Just as you assume various other forms like Matsya and Kūrma, you now appear in these two forms. However, having accepted these forms (sṛṣtvā) you then make them disappear, just as a spider produced and devours his web. This verse praises the greatness of the Lord’s pastimes.
