English translation:

(202-203) “You are the origin of all demigods and the controller of everyone. All living entities, seen and unseen, are Your servants. O Lord, if one disregards You and devotedly makes offerings to Your servant, that servant accepts the offerings and kills that worshiper.

Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:

“O Viśvambhara Caitanyadeva, You are the original source of all demigods. You are the supreme controller of all controllers. You are the object of love. The living entities of all manifested and unmanifested worlds act as Your servants by engaging in various activities under Your authority. Some of Your servants appear before living entities averse to the service of Hari as objects of their sensual knowledge and become similar to fuel for their sense gratification. Those greedy, ignorant people averse to the service of Hari do not display any attitude of service to the Supreme Lord and are convinced that aversion to Hari is completely justified. Those servants misguide such people by teaching them to disrespect You, while You are in fact the supreme worshipable object for all manifested and unmanifested objects driven by external perception.

Such qualified servants of the Supreme Lord collect the ingredients for satisfying their own senses from their respective deceitful worshipers and make those worshipers more averse to the service of Kṛṣṇa. Those worshipers’ lusty external conceptions born of sensual knowledge destroy them by increasing their false sense of domination.
