Translation
We are now all engaged in enmity among ourselves because of this one subject matter — the container of nectar. Although we have been born in the same family, we are becoming increasingly inimical. O thin-waisted woman, who are so beautiful in Your prestigious position, we therefore request You to favor us by settling our dispute.
Translation (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)
We, of one family, have become inimical to each other, competing because of this pot. O thin-waisted, esteemed woman! Please create auspiciousness for us.
Your intentions can be settled later. Now, please act to please us.
Purport
The demons understood that the beautiful woman had attracted the attention of them all. Therefore they unanimously requested Her to become the arbiter to settle their dispute.
