Explanation: The poem amatreyali was published 1819. From Vishnuprana and it is a shortened form of “Hail Maitraya.
It is a celebration of the greatness and glory of mother earth. Mother earth or nature is all powerful. None can posses her but all are ultimately possessed by her.
In the original passage, Maitreya is engaged in a dialogue with the deity Vishnu (who was, to his devotees, the centran deity, of whom all the other deities represented aspects).
Vishnu tells Maitreya about the Hindu kings who mistakenly believed themselves possessors of the Earth. But the kings have disappeared, while the Earth endures.
Vishnu recites the chant of the Earth, who laughs at and pities the egotistical kings and their blindness to their mortality. He tells Maitreya that the Earth’s song will cause proud ambition to melt away.
