त्रिलोकीनाभिनलिनीमत्तेभा दानवा अपि ।
देववद्दैन्यमायाताः किमसाध्यमहो विधेः ॥ ११ ॥

trilokīnābhinalinīmattebhā dānavā api |
devavaddainyamāyātāḥ kimasādhyamaho vidheḥ || 11 ||

Ah! what is impossible to irresistible fate, that has so reduced the mighty demons; who were this while used to pluck the flowers from the mountain tops of Meru like big elephants, and are now come to the sad plight of the wandering Devas of yore.
