अभिभवसि देवसंघां समहेश्वरदानवां समारगणां ।
तारागणां खगचरां अमितमति इदं पि आश्चर्यं ॥ १८ ॥
abhibhavasi devasaṃghāṃ samaheśvaradānavāṃ samāragaṇāṃ |

“Thou, whose intelligence is infinite, excellest the Maheshvaras and Danavas, the hosts of Mara, and the stars that move in the sky—this also is a wonder. (18)
