यावन्ति सेना तव कृष्णबन्धु सर्वे भवेन्सु वसि ईश्वरत्वे ।
ते चक्रवाडसम आयुधेहि न च समर्था मम रोमम् इंजितुं ॥ २३४ ॥
yāvanti senā tava kṛṣṇabandhu sarve bhavensu vasi īśvaratve |
te cakravāḍasama āyudhehi na ca samarthā mama romam iṃjituṃ || 234 ||
“However great thy army be, O Son of Darkness, and though all of them be under thy control and authority, though they stand in armed ranks like Cakravada’s range, they cannot stir a hair of mine. (234)
