pramattam uccair iti kṛtya-cintayā
The Lord, possessing great force, disturbs the places of enjoyment and destroys living beings by other living beings using the invisible form of time, just an unbearable wind destroys the clouds.
In the form of time, you drag the non-devotee jīva along with his covering. This is explained in two verses. You agitate (kālayānaḥ) the places of enjoyment. You destroy one entity by another. This means jīvo jīvasya jīvanam: one living being lives off another. (SB 1.13.47) Anumeya-tattvaḥ means an invisible form.

pramattam uccair iti kṛtya-cintayā
pravṛddha-lobhaṁ viṣayeṣu lālasam
tvam apramattaḥ sahasābhipadyase
kṣul-lelihāno 'hir ivākhum antakaḥ
With great attention, in the form of time, you suddenly seize the greedy person desiring material objects, who is intensely mad with thoughts of all the things he should do, just as a snake, licking its lips, seizes a mouse.
This verse describes how the Lord destroys everyone. People become made thinking “This should be done. That should be done.” (iti kṛtya) You seize them (abhipadyase). Kṣul-lelihānaḥ mean “touching the tip of tongue to the lip.” You are like a snake seizing a mouse (akhum).
|| 4.24.67 ||
kas tvat-padābjaṁ vijahāti paṇḍito
yas te 'vamāna-vyayamāna-ketanaḥ
viśaṅkayāsmad-gurur arcati sma yad
vinopapattiṁ manavaś caturdaśa
What intelligent person, whose body will be destroyed by disrespecting you, would reject your lotus feet, which Brahmā worshipped out of fear of rebirth and the fourteen Manus worship with strong faith?
The foolish person never worships you. He has a body (ketanaḥ) destroyed by disrespecting you. Our guru Brahmā worshipped those feet out of fear of rebirth. That is the statement of all reciters (sma). Even the Manus worshiped those feet with naturally strong faith (vina upapattim), or without material desires.
