Manmatha, to ashes (burning all desires) is seduced by the Supreme
Being VASUDEVA.

6. He who is praised, adored and revered by all the three
Religious Faiths is the Supreme Being VASUDEVA.
7. Brahma is the creator (meaning Rajoguna leading to actions)
and Sankara is the destroyer (leading to Tamas or inaction).
(However) The protector of the entire universe (suddha sattva guna)
is the only Supreme Being VASUDEVA.
8. He who protects even Brahma and Rudra who get into trouble
by giving boons to demons, is the Supreme Being VASUDEVA.

luxuries of Vaikunta with the sole purpose of blessing this world is
the Supreme Being VASUDEVA.

the Supreme Being is, which is dear to Muralidhara, is sure to
attain true knowledge.
