Translation by words :
asau maya hatah satruh = I killed that enemy;
aparan api = others too;
hanishye ca = I kill them also;
aham isvarah = I am the SUPREME;
aham bhogi = I enjoy all these;
ahanm siddhah = I am perfect;
balavan sukhi = I am strong and powerful ( and ) enjoy.

Translation of Slokam :
"That enemy was destroyed by me, others will also be destroyed. I am the lord, I am the enjoyer, I have accomplished everything. I am mighty and happy."

Commentary :
He is my enemy, and I have killed him; and my other enemy will also be killed. I am the lord of everything, I am the enjoyer, I am perfect, powerful and happy.
By describing the parameters by which the demoniac mentality functions, Lord Krishna illustrates the hellish and degraded path they traverse.
Ignoring all morality the demoniac think that whatever they find pleasurable is for their enjoyment without restriction and they will scheme to obtain it by any means.
The demoniac only respect power and might.
Their conception is that might is right and hence they will destroy whatever is an obstacle to fulfilling their ambitions and desires, not hesitating to injure or even kill others.
The demoniac think that their ideology is superior and they resort to deception, hypocrisy, intimidation and force to coerce others to believe and accept such a fallacy.
The demoniac are captivated by lust, greed and false ego.
They make concerted efforts to orchestrate events to try to influence others to acknowledge them as superior and in the process immerse themselves deeper and deeper in illusion.
Hence although the demoniac exercise considerable power and various areas of control because they are so completely deluded as defined by their own degraded mentalities they keep themselves enslaved in bondage by incessantly pursuing materialistic desires and mundane goals due to following false ideologies and belief in erroneous concepts.
