Commentary called Jnaneshwari by Jnaneshwar:
(The Demoniac says) “Today I have got in my hand the riches belonging to many (others). Is it not certainly a glory for me?” And the more he indulges in such glorification the more his mind wanders in that direction, and he says he would see if he could bring the riches (robbed) of others also. (He further says) “With the capital of riches so far acquired I shall secure whatever remains either of movables or immovables in the world. In this way, I shall (alone) be the master of the world’s riches and I shall not suffer any one coming within the range of my vision to go out of my clutches.”
