Verse Text
ākṛtyā pūtanādyāḥ syuḥ prakṛtyā duṣṭa-bhū-bhujaḥ |
bhīṣaṇās tu prabhāveṇa surendra-giriśādayaḥ ||15||
Translation
Persons like Pūtanā are fearful in form. The wicked kings are fearful by their natures, and the devatās such as Indra and Śiva are fearful because of their powers.
Purport (Jiva Goswami)
Duṣṭa-bhū-bhujaḥ (evil kings) refers to persons such as Śiśupāla.
Purport (Nectar of Devotion)
An example of an object which caused ecstatic dread is the Pūtanā witch. Dread may be caused by mischievous demoniac characters, such as King Kaṁsa, and it may be caused by great powerful demigods, such as Indra or Śaṅkara.
