Translation

As the discus began to revolve in the Lord’s hands and the Lord contended at close quarters with the chief of His Vaikuṇṭha attendants, who had been born as Hiraṇyākṣa, a vile son of Diti, there issued from every direction strange expressions uttered by those who were witnessing from airplanes. They had no knowledge of the Lord’s reality, and they cried, “May victory attend You! Pray dispatch him. Play no more with him.”

Translation (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)

Seeing the Lord with his zealous cakra engaged in play with the low son of Diti, who was actually the Lord’s associate, the devatās, who did not know this, uttered various words. “Let there be auspiciousness to you! Kill the demon!” The Lord had in his hand the cakra which was eager, arriving in a hurry (vyagra). “:Oh! The Lord is remembering me!” There are three versions: ditiputrābhidhena, ditijābhidhena, and ditiputrādhamena. Seeing the Lord who was associating with the demon and his devotee, the devatās spoke.
