Meaning

The commentary: he was the fire of dissolution to his enemies, Kāma to women, Meru against the winds of objects, the sun to the lotuses of the good. Notes: trees burnt by a forest fire may sprout again, but not those burnt by the fire of dissolution; and as wind cannot shake Meru but strikes and stops, objects could not move him.
