Sūtra translation

And (they have) no control over the effected world ; for thus(scripture) declares.

The released have not the duty of ruling the effected world ; for the text says : “ They are not concerned with the conduct of the world where the cycle of mortal beings is at work ” (Ch. IV. 15. 6). This is said also in the' Vârâha : “ Even in heaven the gods continue to possess their authority (to be in their respective rank) ; and to the four-faced who is released, they all as before carry their offerings ; and along with him all the gods carry the offerings with intense devotion to the Supreme Lord ; and the released have no control over the effected world, where there are others in their stead appointed by the same Lord to do their duty.”
