।।16.14।। --,असौ देवदत्तनामा मया हतः दुर्जयः शत्रुः। हनिष्ये च अपरान् अन्यान् वराकान् अपि। किम् एते करिष्यन्ति तपस्विनः सर्वथापि नास्ति मत्तुल्यः। कथम् ईश्वरः अहम्? अहं भोगी। सर्वप्रकारेण च सिद्धः अहं संपन्नः पुत्रैः नप्तृभिः? न केवलं मानुषः? बलवान् सुखी च अहमेव अन्ये तु भूमिभारायावितीर्णाः।।

16.14 This enemy has been slain by me, powerful as I am. I shall slay other enemies also - I who am heoric and valiant. What is the use of the conception of destiny, which is only an imagination of weak people of little understanding? Similarly: I am 'the lord,' viz., I am independent, and I am also the ruler of others. I am the 'enjoyer,' viz., I am the enjoyer through my own powers, and not through good fortune etc. I am 'successful,' viz., I am successful by myself and not through any destiny etc. Likewise, I am strong and happy by myself.

16.14 असौ that? मया by me? हतः slain? शत्रुः enemy? हनिष्ये (I) shall slay? च and? अपरान् others? अपि also? ईश्वरः Lord? अहम् I? अहम् I? भोगी the enjoyer? सिद्धः perfect? अहम् I? भोगी the enjoyer? सिद्धः perfect? अहम् I? बलवान् powerful? सुखी happy.Commentary I will be the lord of all I survey. I will kill everyone who will not serve me. In fact I am the lord of all creation. I will be successful in all my undertakings. I have got plenty of landed property? cattle and immense wealth. I have got plenty of children and grandchildren. Even Indra is not eal to me. I am not an ordinary man. I am very powerful? strong? healthy and happy in every respect.In this verse there is a description of the vain imaginations of the people of demoniacal nature.
