We accept you as our spiritual master and director so that by the power of your austerity we may easily defeat the enemies who have conquered us.** ## Purport One must approach a particular type of *guru* to execute a particular type of duty. Therefore although Viśvarūpa was inferior to the demigods, the demigods accepted him as their *guru* to conquer the demons.
