Translation

You are the guardian of an entire sphere and a ruler of wide fame. Having crushed the might of arrogant and conceited warriors and having conquered all the Daityas and Dānavas in the world, you once performed a Rājasūya sacrifice to the Lord.

Translation (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)

You, the master of the planet, the famous ruler, have destroyed all power among those think themselves great warriors, since, having conquered all the demons at a previous time, you performed a rājasūya sacrifice. He speaks with opposite meaning. Because of the absences of demons before this time, it was possible for all persons to perform rājasūya sacrifices. Now, conquer me and perform a rājasūya sacrifice. Or, your sacrifice will be perfected now, if you conquer me.
