vayam anucara-mukhyāḥ karmabhis te mano-jñais
ta iha diti-sutena prāpitā vāhakatvam
sa tu jana-paritāpaṁ tat-kṛtaṁ jānatā te
narahara upanītaḥ pañcatāṁ pañca-viṁśa
The Yakṣas said: O controller of the twenty-four elements! We are your chief attendants, rendering pleasing services. The demon forced us to be his palanquin carriers. O Narahari! Knowing the misery he inflicted on us, you killed him.
We are the chief experts in serving you by pleasing actions. Or we are chief among your devotees. We (te) have been forced to carry his palanquin. He has been killed by you, who know his afflictions to the people. O controller of the twenty-four elements (pañca-viṁśa)!

śrī-kimpuruṣā ūcuḥ

śrī-vaitālikā ūcuḥ
sabhāsu satreṣu tavāmalaṁ yaśo
gītvā saparyāṁ mahatīṁ labhāmahe
yas tām anaiṣīd vaśam eṣa durjano
dviṣṭyā hatas te bhagavan yathāmayaḥ
The inhabitants of Vitala-loka said: Dear Lord! Because of chanting your spotless glories in great assemblies and arenas of sacrifice, we gained great respect from everyone. By good fortune you have killed this sinful man, like a disease, who usurped our due respect.
He took that respect offered to us and brought it under his control.
