I judge that when you take this part of MMY's commentary on the verse out of context, it's highly misleading. MMY has already gone into considerable detail about the metaphorical context of the battle. In this last part of his commentary on the verse, he's simply providing the (quasi-?) historical referents. Is there more to Yogananda's commentary on this verse? Have you taken it out of context too, or is this all he says?
