This King, this protector of the citizens, is an extraordinary king and is equal to the Prajāpati demigods. For the living facility of all citizens, he will milk the earth, which is like a cow. Not only that, but he will level the surface of the earth with the pointed ends of his bow, breaking all the hills exactly as King Indra, the heavenly King, breaks mountains with his powerful thunderbolt.
Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura Gauḍīya
Translation
Just as Indra easily broke the mountains with the tip of his bow and leveled the earth, the King of kings, master of the citizens, the provider of maintenance, milked the earth as a cow. How did the women glorify Pṛṭhu? Four verses answer. (Thus the verses are in the past tense.) Just as Indra broke mountains with the tip of his bow, Pṛthu would milk the earth.
