You are the preceptor of both the gods and the Asuras; you are ever victorious; you are ever worshipped by the gods and the Asuras; you guide the deities and the Asuras even as the Mahamatra guides the elephant; you are the refuge of all the gods and the Asuras.
देवासुरगुरुर्देवो देवासुरनमस्कृतः। देवासुरमहामात्रो देवासुरगणाश्रयः॥
