Significado

Purport

Para cumplir con un deber de determinado tipo, hay que acudir a un determinado tipo de guru. Por esa razón, a fin de vencer a los demonios, los semidioses aceptaron a Viśvarūpa como guru, a pesar de que Viśvarūpa era inferior a ellos.

One must approach a particular type of guru to execute a particular type of duty. Therefore although Viśvarūpa was inferior to the demigods, the demigods accepted him as their guru to conquer the demons.
