or of kings who follow this principle.
Because of their firm determination to follow the instructions of Śukrācārya, his disciples, the demons, are now unconcerned about the demigods. In fact, kings or others who have determined faith in the mercy of brāhmaṇas, cows and the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Kṛṣṇa, and who always worship these three are always strong in their position.

From the instructions of Lord Brahmā it is understood that everyone should very faithfully worship the brāhmaṇas, the Supreme Personality of Godhead and the cows. The Supreme Personality of Godhead is go-brāhmaṇa-hitāya ca: He is always very kind to cows and brāhmaṇas. Therefore one who worships Govinda must satisfy Him by worshiping the brāhmaṇas and cows. If a government worships the brāhmaṇas, the cows and Kṛṣṇa, Govinda, it is never defeated anywhere; otherwise it must always be defeated and condemned everywhere. At the present moment, all over the world, governments have no respect for brāhmaṇas, cows and Govinda, and consequently there are chaotic conditions all over the world. In summary, although the demigods were very powerful in material opulence, the demons defeated them in battle because the demigods had behaved disrespectfully toward a brāhmaṇa, Bṛhaspati, who was their spiritual master.

Translation
Intent on following the instructions of Śukrācārya and having unbreakable counsel, they do not care at all for the devatās. There are no misfortunes for kings who respect the brāhmaṇas, cows and Govinda. Pacification, offering gifts and punishment are obviously not possible. Causing dissension among them also is not possible. That is explained in this verse. They have indivisible counsel (abhedya-mantrāḥ). The cause of everything is that they have taken the teachings of Śukrācārya as their only goal (anuśikṣitārthāḥ). “Then we will die.” Brahmā comforts them. Those who are merciful to brāhmaṇas, cows and Govinda have no misfortunes.
