The demon, however, employed many conjuring tricks against the Personality of Godhead, who is the Lord of yoga-mÄyÄ. At the sight of this the people were filled with alarm and thought that the dissolution of the universe was near.

This is the greatness of the Supreme Personality of Godhead; even the wavering of His little finger appears to be a great and very dangerous movement in the eyes of the inhabitants of the universe.
