Taking the inhabitants of the lower planets who were entrusted to you, and fleeing shamelessly from your club, I remain here. I must remain here to fight since, having created enmity with you where can I go? Speaking with lamenting voice, the Lord joked with the demon. I have stolen things entrusted to you and fled away, but that is impossible. ”Have you fled far enough because of the suffering inflicted on you?” I must remain here, since I have nowhere to go. There is another meaning. I am the receiver of the offerings (nyāsa-harā) made with devotion even by the demons (rasaukasām). I am not ashamed of doing this (gata-hriyaḥ), because I am affectionate to my devotees. This is because you have melted (drāvitāḥ) my heart with your words of praise (gadayā). Gadā (which becomes gadayā) can come from the verb gad, meaning ”to speak,” in the manner of words such as bhid. Thus I will remain with you even during battle, to show you my extraordinary powers. Ātmanepada form (tiṣṭhāmahe) is used to indicate that he is showing something. ”O cause of existence! Going to Vaikuṇṭha, you will remain there happily. Why would you want to endure suffering by fighting?” I must remain (stheyam) engaged in battle with you in order to derive bliss from fighting because of the enmity in you caused by the curse of the Kumāras. Where else should I go?
