Thereupon taking him up with his arms he destroyed him with his nails. The person, who is standing at the door, is this supreme Väsudeva, void of passion. I shall now relate to you the words of that supreme God; do you hear, if your heart is filled with spiritual thoughts. The person, who is standing at the door, has brought into subjection, is thousands of years, a thousand of Indras, an Ayuta of Gods and hundreds of great Rşis.” Hearing these words Rāvana said.
तत उद्धृत्य बाहुभ्यां नखैर्निन्ये यमक्षयम्। एष तिष्ठति द्वारस्थो वासुदेवो निरञ्जनः॥ तस्य देवाधिदेवस्य गदतो मे शृणुष्व ह। वाक्यं परमभावेन यदि ते वर्तते हृदि॥ इन्द्राणां च सहस्राणि सुराणामयुतानि च। ऋषीणां चैव मुख्यानां शतान्यब्दसहस्रशः॥ वशं नीतानि सर्वाणि य एष द्वारि तिष्ठति। तस्य तद्वचनं श्रुत्वा रावणो वाक्यमब्रवीत्॥
