Srimad-Bhagavatam Canto 1 Chapter 11 Text 34 Removing the burden of earth

Text 34 evaṁ nṛpāṇāṁ kṣiti-bhāra-janmanām  akṣauhiṇībhiḥ parivṛtta-tejasām vidhāya vairaṁ śvasano yathānalaṁ   mitho vadhenoparato nirāyudhaḥ The Lord was pacified after killing those kings who were burdensome to the earth. They were puffed up with their military strength, their horses, elephants, chariots, infantry, etc. He Himself was not a party in the fight. He simply created hostility between the powerful administrators, and they fought amongst themselves. He was like the wind which causes friction between bamboos and so sparks a fire.

Vicious administrators Influenced by the deluding energy, the living being becomes a false enjoyer under the dictation of the modes of nature. dharmasya glāniḥ - misuse of the energy of the human being. Vicious administrators - who are simply burdens of the earth. Krishna does not favor such unwanted administrators, but by His potential power He creates hostility between such unwanted administrators, as the air creates fire in the forest by the friction of the bamboos.

Establishing peace and prosperity The unwanted administrators, puffed up by false power and military strength, thus become engaged in fighting amongst themselves over ideological conflicts and so exhaust themselves of all powers. The history of the world reflects this factual will of the Lord, and it will continue to be enacted until the living beings are attached to the service of the Lord. This means that no one can establish peace and prosperity in the world by fruitive activities or by speculative philosophy or ideology.

Unfortunately persons Unfortunately persons who are engaged in destructive work are unable to surrender to the Personality of Godhead. They are all fools of the first order; they are the lowest of the human species of life; they are robbed of their knowledge, although apparently they seem to be academically educated. Those who are very materialistic, always hankering after material power and strength, are undoubtedly fools of the first order because they have no information of the living energy, and being ignorant of that supreme spiritual science, they are absorbed in material science, which ends with the end of the material body.

Demoniac rules robbed of knowledge Demoniac rules are the lowest of human beings because the human life is especially meant for reestablishing the lost relation with the Lord, and they miss this opportunity by being engaged in material activities. They are robbed of their knowledge because even after prolonged speculation they cannot reach to the stage of knowing the Personality of Godhead, the summum bonum of everything. And all of them are men of demoniac principle, and they suffer the consequences, as did such materialistic heroes as Rāvaṇa, Hiraṇyakaśipu, Kaṁsa and others.
