etethese — these; hiindeed — indeed; abhyutthitāḥmanifested — manifested; devāḥdemigods — demigods; nanot — not; evaat all — at all; asyaof the virāṭ-puruṣa — of the virāṭ-puruṣa; utthāpanein waking — in waking; aśakanwere able — were able; punaḥagain — again; āviviśuḥthey entered — they entered; khānithe apertures of the body — the apertures of the body; tamHim — Him; utthāpayitumto awaken — to awaken; kramātone after another — one after another.
When the demigods and presiding deities of the various senses were thus manifested, they wanted to wake their origin of appearance. But upon failing to do so, they reentered the body of the virāṭ-puruṣa one after another in order to wake Him.
In order to wake the sleeping Deity-controller within, one has to rechannel the sense activities from concentration on the outside to concentration inside. In the following verses, the sense activities which are required to wake the virāṭ-puruṣa will be explained very nicely.
