असौ मया हतः शत्रुर्हनिष्ये चापरानपि।
ईश्वरोऽहमहं भोगी सिद्धोऽहं बलवान्सुखी।।16.14।।
16.14 That enemy has been killed by me, and I shall kill others as well. I am the lord, I am the enjoyer, I am well-established, mighty and happy.
16.14 This enemy has been slain by me, powerful as I am. I shall slay other enemies also - I who am heoric and valiant. What is the use of the conception of destiny, which is only an imagination of weak people of little understanding? Similarly: I am the lord, viz., I am independent, and I am also the ruler of others. I am the enjoyer, viz., I am the enjoyer through my own powers, and not through good fortune etc. I am successful, viz., I am successful by myself and not through any destiny etc. Likewise, I am strong and happy by myself.
