This prakruti is Your maayaa only. Because of that, we forget Brahma, as we are covered by the prakruti. We don’t realize the truth. And this prakruti causes extreme moha.

Those who have their knowledge covered by prakruti, are bound in this prakruti.

Having worshipped You, what the people seek is the different things they desire. They do not ask for samsaara kshaya. They aspire only for meagre desires. They worship You and seek meagre things from You. But they do not think of escaping from samsaara. This is all because of maayaa, and this maayaa is Your only; it is also Your shareera, and You are only controlling it.

Instead of asking for kalpavruksha itself, they ask for loin cloth and for other clothes. These kind of meagre desires come for those who do not have good virtues, but who have only accumulated sins. This is all because of their own defects, because of transgressing of shaastraas, etc.

Next comes the description about how the Paarijaata tree will be taken, and the fight which ensues, which we see next.
We are studying Chapter 30 of Amsha 5. In this, the *Paarijaata apaharana *prasanga, where Krishna, after killing Narakaasura, comes to devaloka, and when they are going around all the wonderful gardens of the gods there, the Paarijaata tree, which is there most wonderfully, with bunches of flowers all over, and fragrance spreading many yojanaas. Earlier, Shachee Devi does not offer Paarijaata flower to Satyabhaama, thinking that she is a mere human, and does not deserve to be given that flower, that it is only meant for devaas. Seeing all this, Satyabhaama tells Krishna - “If You really like me so much as You say so many times, take this Paarijaata tree to our garden. I want to have it there”. Then, all the people protecting that Paarijaata tree, warn her, and say that this is only meant for Shachee Devi, and Indra will not allow them to go free like that, and that they will be in trouble. But then, Satyabhaama is very arrogant and gives the message to Shachee Devi, and tells them to go and tell their lord Indra and also Shachee Devi, that Satyabhaama is telling like this. She says - “Being a mere human, I am taking it away, and if anyone has the powers, let them stop me. Go and tell Shachee Devi that I know her husband Indra, and being a human, I am taking it away. Let me see if anyone stops me”.
