Překlad

He then created the chief demigods, who were shining with the glory of goodness. He dropped before them the effulgent form of daytime, and the demigods sportingly took possession of it.

Potom stvořil hlavní polobohy, kteří svítili svatozáří dobra. Upustil před nimi zářivou podobu dne a polobozi se jí s radostí ujali.

Purport

Význam

Demons were born from the creation of night, and the demigods were born from the creation of day. In other words, demons like the Yakṣas and Rākṣasas are born of the quality of ignorance, and demigods are born of the quality of goodness.

Démoni se narodili při stvoření noci a polobozi při stvoření dne. Démoni, jako jsou Yakṣové a Rākṣasové, se rodí z kvality nevědomosti a polobozi se rodí z kvality dobra.
