Dhruva Mahārāja, the best of human beings, observed that in that great battlefield not one of the opposing soldiers was left standing with proper weapons. He then desired to see the city of Alakāpurī, but he thought to himself, “No one knows the plans of the mystic Yakṣas.”
Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura Gauḍīya
Translation
Not seeing his attackers with weapons in the vast battlefield at all, the best of Manu’s descendents, though desiring to see the city, did not enter it. One does not know the plan of the deceptive enemy. Ātatāyinam means “persons holding weapons.”
