Classical Exegesis
Karandikar:
The demons, who had conquered the mortal world who were bearing lustre and in whom a thirst (for jewels) has arisen, approached him, the distributor of gems, just as the chiefs of gods that have conquered the world of death and in whom thirst is aroused at the approach of the cloud which showers pearls.
