asau mayā hataḥ śatrur haniṣye cāparān api |
īśvaro’ham ahaṃ bhogī siddho’haṃ balavān sukhī || 14 ||

14. 'This enemy is slain by me; and others also I shall slay. I am a Lord, I am an enjoyer, I am
successful, I am powerful and happy.

Commentary

Here the concept of spiritual recompense (adṛṣṭa), is regarded only as an invention of weak people of feeble minds. Furthermore: 'I am a lord' — I am independent, and I control others. 'I am an enjoyer' — I enjoy through my own achievements and not through karma or Divine Grace. 'I am successful,' — I am the creator of my own success and not through karma etc. Likewise, I am also powerful and happy — through my own self-effort.
