Meaning
The commentary: King Padma, who gave joy to all, was the Kāma of the earth; Līlā arose as if a second Rati, Kāma's consort, to serve him long. A note: the king was like Kāma in beauty, but Kāma pains those parted from their beloved, while the king gave joy to everyone; so he surpassed Kāma.
