गम्योऽसौ नास्त्रशस्त्राणां न भटोद्भवकर्मणाम् ।
तेन देवासुराः सर्वे सर्वदैव वशीकृताः ॥ १६ ॥

gamyo'sau nāstraśastrāṇāṃ na bhaṭodbhavakarmaṇām |
tena devāsurāḥ sarve sarvadaiva vaśīkṛtāḥ || 16 ||

He is unapproachable by missiles, and invulnerable by arms and weapons, and unseizable by the dexterity of warriors; and it is by his resistless might, that he has brought the gods and demigods under his subjection.
