Kubera (the god of wealth) may be wealthy but he cannot be compared with me. Even Vishnu Himself does not possess the wealth that I possess. In comparison with my illustrious family and the extent of my relations even Brahma is indeed of inferior descent.
Translation
16.15 ' I am wealthy and high-born; who else is eal to me? I shall sacrifice, I shall give alms, I shall rejoice.' Thus they think, deluded byignorance.
