Verse 16.14
Verse 16.14: “This enemy has been (already) killed by me:” ‘I’ will kill the others likewise.’—‘I am the master—the one whose lot is enjoyment:’ ‘I’ have achieved success;’ ‘I’ am endowed with strength and happiness.’ (352)
Commentary called Jnaneshwari by Jnaneshwar:
“The enemies I have killed already are very few: I shall kill still more of these and then my own fame alone will resound throughout the world. I shall then kill all excepting those that would be my servants, and then shall I myself be God of the entire universe. I shall be the king of this earth of enjoyment, and the home of all pleasures, so that even Indra might look insignificant before my glory. How could it be, that whatever I might be prepared to (plan and) do in mind, speech and body would not be executed to its completion? And there is none else beside me whose commands are implicitly obeyed. The destructor might parade himself as powerful, so long as he has not seen my prowess. I am the sole repository of the cream of all happiness (in this world).
