सोअसुरान् दर्शनादेव शक्तो हन्तुं सहानुगान् । निवातकवचान् सर्वान् नागानिव महाह्नदे,भगवान् श्रीकृष्ण तो दृष्टिनिक्षेपमात्रसे ही महान् कुण्डमें निवास करनेवाले नागोंकी भाँति समस्त “निवातकवच” नामक दानवोंको उनके अनुयायियोंसहित मार डालनेमें समर्थ हैं
Translation
Śrī Kṛṣṇa is able to slay the asuras, together with their followers, by a mere cast of his gaze; he can destroy all the demons called Nivātakavaca, as one might crush serpents dwelling in a vast deep pool.
