Translation
Maya Dānava said: What has been destined by the Supreme Lord for oneself, for others, or for both oneself and others cannot be undone anywhere or by anyone, whether one be a demigod, a demon, a human being or anyone else.
Translation (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)
What has been destined by fate for oneself, for others, or for both oneself and others, cannot be prevented by a devatā, a demon, a human being or anyone else.
No one is capable (īśvaraḥ) of counteracting what is decided by fate for oneself, or another, or both.
Purport
The Supreme Lord is one — Kṛṣṇa, the
viṣṇu-tattva.
Kṛṣṇa expands Himself into
viṣṇu-tattva
personal expansions (
svāṁśa
), who control everything. Maya Dānava said, “However I plan, you plan or both of us plan, the Lord has planned what is to happen. No one’s plan will be successful without His sanction.” We may make our own various plans, but unless they are sanctioned by the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Viṣṇu, they will never be successful. Hundreds and millions of plans are made by all kinds of living entities, but without the sanction of the Supreme Lord they are futile.
