TRANSLATION
O my Lord, proprietor of all creation, You have now appeared in my house, desiring to protect this world. I am sure that You will kill all the armies that are moving all over the world under the leadership of politicians who are dressed as kṣatriya rulers but who are factually demons.

Kṛṣṇa appears in this world for two purposes, paritrāṇāya sādhūnāṁ vināśāya ca duṣkṛtām: to protect the innocent, religious devotees of the Lord and to annihilate all the uneducated, uncultured asuras, who unnecessarily bark like dogs and fight among themselves for political power.

Kyler Watson Bhaktivinoda states in his literature that the root cause of all anarthas is the desire for prestige- the desire to be famous.

 With that in mind-- Sri Rupa Goswamipada describes this tendency in the Jiva souls in conversation with Sanatana as, "the greatest thing in the world."
