PURPORT

PURPORT
The word samvidam is significant in this verse. The demigods and demons both agreed to stop fighting, at least for the time being, and endeavored to produce nectar. Srila Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura notes in this connection:
samvid yuddhe pratijnayam
acare namni tosane
sambhasane kriyakare
saṅketa-jnanayor api
The word samvit is variously used to mean "in fighting," "in promising," "for satisfying," "in addressing," "by practical action," "indication," and "knowledge."
