यथा च एषो स्थितो वृक्षमूले सुमेरुमूर्ध्ने अभिभवि देवपुत्रा ।
नात्र प्रदेशे स्थितो कामसेवी मा अप्रसादं जने कृष्णबन्धु ॥ २०३ ॥

yathā ca eṣo sthito vṛkṣamūle sumerumūrdhne abhibhavi devaputrā |
nātra pradeśe sthito kāmasevī mā aprasādaṃ jane kṛṣṇabandhu || 203 ||

“(See) how he, standing at the foot of the tree has outshone the devas on Sumeru summit. It is not through pursuing sensual pleasures that he stands there. O Son of Darkness, do not breed distrust of him. (203)
