TRANSLATION
Vibhavari is the home of Varuna, lord of the aquatic creatures and guardian of the lower regions of the universe, where the demons generally reside. There Hiranyaksa fell at Varunas feet like a lowborn man, and to make fun of him he said with a smile, Give me battle, O Supreme Lord!
PURPORT
The demoniac person always challenges others and tries to occupy others property by force. Here these symptoms are fully displayed by Hiranyaksa, who begged war from a person who had no desire to fight.
