Texto

Even after Indra had bowed down to Lord Acyuta, touched His feet with the tips of his crown and begged the Lord to fulfill his desire, that exalted demigod, having achieved his purpose, chose to fight with the Supreme Lord. What ignorance there is among the gods! To hell with their opulence!

It is well known that material wealth and power tend to produce arrogance, and thus an opulent life can often be the royal road to hell.
