The brÄhmaṇas are called dvija-deva, and ká¹£atriyas are generally called nara-deva. The word deva actually refers to the Supreme Personality of Godhead. The brÄhmaṇas guide human society in becoming happy by satisfying Lord Viṣṇu, and according to their advice, the ká¹£atriyas, who are called nara-deva, keep law and order so that other people, namely the vaiÅ›yas and śūdras, may properly follow regulative principles. In this way, people are gradually elevated to Kṛṣṇa consciousness.
Thus end the Bhaktivedanta purports of the Eighth Canto, Fifteenth Chapter, of the ÅšrÄ«mad-BhÄgavatam, entitled “Bali MahÄrÄja Conquers the Heavenly Planets.â€
