Commentary
I will be the lord of all I survey. I will kill everyone who will not serve me. In fact I am the lord of all creation. I will be successful in all my undertakings. I have got plenty of landed property; cattle and immense wealth. I have got plenty of children and grandchildren. Even Indra is not eal to me. I am not an ordinary man. I am very powerful; strong; healthy and happy in every respect. In this verse there is a description of the vain imaginations of the people of demoniacal nature.
