Bhaktivedanta Purport
By Śrīla PrabhupādaIn Bhagavad-gītā (10.41) it is said:
yad yad vibhūtimat sattvaṁśrīmad ūrjitam eva vātat tad evāvagaccha tvaṁmama tejo ’ṁśa-sambhavam
Anyone extraordinarily powerful must be considered a partial representation of the opulence of the Supreme Godhead. Therefore when the son of Mahārāja Duṣmanta became the emperor of the entire world, he was celebrated in this way.
