Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:
Demigods and demons are ascertained according to their qualities and activities. The demigods proceeded while singing the glories of how the good qualities and service attitude of the Lord’s devotees free demoniac people from bondage and engage them in the service of the Supreme Lord, who is the reservoir of all good qualities. Mundane qualities and activities are all temporary. The soul’s qualities and activities, however, are spiritual. If the qualities and activities of liberated souls are glorified, then living entities are freed from the conditioned state.
