शयिष्यसे वीरशये श्वभिर्वृतः ।
यस्त्वद्विधानामसतां प्रशान्तये
रूपाणि धत्ते सदनुग्रहेच्छया ॥३१॥
taá¹ vÄ«ram ÄrÄd abhipadya vismayaḥ
śayiṣyase vīra-śaye śvabhir vṛtaḥ
yas tvad-vidhÄnÄm asatÄá¹ praÅ›Äntaye
rÅ«pÄṇi dhatte sad-anugrahecchayÄ
tam - Him; vÄ«ram - the great hero; ÄrÄt - quickly; abhipadya - on reaching; vismayaḥ - rid of pride; Å›ayiá¹£yase - you will lie down; vÄ«raÅ›aye - on the battlefield; Å›vabhiḥ - by dogs; vá¹›taḥ - surrounded; yaḥ - He who; tvat-vidhÄnÄm - like you; asatÄm - of wicked persons; praÅ›Äntaye - for the extermination; rÅ«pÄṇi - forms; dhatte - He assumes; sat - to the virtuous; anugraha - to show His grace; icchayÄ - with a desire.
Varuṇa continued: On reaching Him you will be rid of your pride at once and will lie down on the field of battle, surrounded by dogs, for eternal sleep. It is in order to exterminate wicked fellows like you and to show His grace to the virtuous that He assumes His various incarnations like VarÄha.
Asuras do not know that their bodies consist of the five elements of material nature and that when they fall they become objects of pastimes for dogs and vultures. Varuṇa advised HiraṇyÄká¹£a to meet Viṣṇu in His boar incarnation so that his hankering for aggressive war would be satisfied and his powerful body would be vanquished.
Thus end the Bhaktivedanta purports of the Third Canto, Seventeenth Chapter, of the ÅšrÄ«mad-BhÄgavatam, entitled “Victory of HiraṇyÄká¹£a Over All the Directions of the Universe.â€
