For this reason the king is known as the reservoir of all demigods, who are simply parts and parcels of the king's body.</p>

<div class="purport text"><p>There are many demons who think of themselves as the Supreme and present themselves as the directors of the sun, moon and other planets. This is all due to false pride. Similarly, King Vena developed the demonic mentality and presented himself as the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Such demons are numerous in this age of Kali, and all of them are condemned by great sages and saintly persons.</p>
