Śaṅkarācārya's commentary
That unconquerable enemy has been slain by me, and others also shall I slay. What can these poor men do? There is none equal to me in any respect. I am a lord, I enjoy, I am successful in every way, blessed with children and grandchildren; I am no ordinary man, I am alone strong and healthy.
