Translation

O my boy, your intelligence is immature, and therefore you have no knowledge that the king, who is the best amongst human beings, is as good as the Personality of Godhead. He is never to be placed on an equal footing with common men. The citizens of the state live in prosperity, being protected by his unsurpassable prowess.

Translation (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)

By this king’s intolerable power the citizens, protected and without any fear, enjoy prosperity. He is equal to Viṣṇu in fame. You cannot consider to be the same as ordinary men by immature intelligence.

Commentary (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)

Para refers to Viṣṇu. Ākhyā means fame. He has fame like Viṣṇu. You cannot consider him as equal to ordinary men.
