Translation (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)

Nanda, Sunanda, Jaya, Vijaya, Prabala, Bala, Kumuda, Kumudākṣa, Viṣvaksena, Garuḍa Jayanta, Śrutadeva, Puṣpadanta and Sātvata, as powerful as ten thousand elephants, killed the demonic army. In order to show the frightful nature of offending the devotees of the Lord, expansions of Jaya and Vijaya fell from Vaikuṇṭha. [Note: The original forms remained in Vaikuṇṭha and in the present pastime they assist the Lord in the fight. Their expansions playing the roles of demons stayed n the material world until Kṛṣṇa liberated them. ] This has been explained in the description of Vaikuṇṭha in the Third Canto. Nāgas are elephants which move around Lokāloka mountain range. [Note: See SB 5.20.39.] Or they are elephants who are vibhūtis of the Lord in Vaikuṇṭha.
