Dear Mima,
The meaning of “need-removing” means that he is able to remove our needs, which basically means that his practice has the ability to solve our needs. Which means everything that we need is easily gathered for us. Therefore we can spend more time on our spiritual path, rather than worrying about our materials needs.
“Chief of Obstructors” has the same meaning as “King of Obstructors” which means he has the ability to over any and all obstacles in our path.
I hope this helps.
