Shloka 21
Guṇa-vibhāga and Prāṇa–Agni–Yoga Upadeśa (गुणविभाग तथा प्राण-अग्नि-योगोपदेश)
नागानामथ यक्षाणां गन्धर्वाणां च सर्वश: । अवाप्य स वरं राजन् सर्वलोकपितामहात्,राजन! वह सम्पूर्ण लोकोंके पितामह ब्रह्माजीसे वर पाकर देवताओं, दैत्यों, राक्षसों, नागों, यक्षों और समस्त गन्धर्वोके लिये अवध्य हो गया है
nāgānām atha yakṣāṇāṃ gandharvāṇāṃ ca sarvaśaḥ | avāpya sa varaṃ rājan sarvalokapitāmahāt ||
Uttanka thưa: “Vì thế, tâu Đại vương, nhờ nhận ân huệ từ Brahmā—đấng Tổ phụ của muôn cõi—hắn đã trở nên bất khả sát theo mọi cách đối với Nāga, Yakṣa và toàn thể Gandharva.”

Educational Q&A
A boon from a cosmic authority can confer extraordinary protection, but the ethical implication is that such power should not be mistaken for moral rightness; dharma remains the higher measure even when one is beyond ordinary harm.
Uttanka reports to the king that a certain figure has received a boon from Brahmā, making him wholly invulnerable to classes of supernatural beings—Nāgas, Yakṣas, and Gandharvas—thereby explaining why he cannot be easily checked or punished by them.
