The planetary system below Talātala is known as Mahātala. It is the abode of many-hooded snakes, descendants of Kadrū, who are always very angry. The great snakes who are prominent are Kuhaka, Takṣaka, Kāliya and Suṣeṇa. The snakes in Mahātala are always disturbed by fear of Garuḍa, the carrier of Lord Viṣṇu, but although they are full of anxiety, some of them nevertheless sport with their wives, children, friends and relatives.

Purport

It is stated here that the snakes who live in the planetary system known as Mahātala are very powerful and have many hoods. They live with their wives and children and consider themselves very happy, although they are always full of anxiety because of Garuḍa, who comes there to destroy them. This is the way of material life. Even if one lives in the most abominable condition, he still thinks himself happy with his wife, children, friends and relatives.

Translation

Below Talātala, in Mahātala, a group of snakes with many hoods, descendents of Kadrū, , headed by Kuhaka, Takṣaka, Kāliya and Suseṇa, who are controlled by anger, reside. Addicted to material enjoyment and bewildered by the association of wives, children, friends and relatives, they enjoy themselves but constantly live in fear of Garuḍa, king of the birds. The snakes have many hoods. They are described. Puruṣa-vāhāt means “from the carrier of the Lord.”
