  vajra-sārair adhokṣajaḥ 
  kareṇa karṇa-mūle 'han 
  yathā tvāṣṭram marut-patiḥ
tam—Hiraṇyākṣa; muṣṭibhiḥ—with his fists; vinighnantam—striking; vajra-sāraiḥ—as hard as a thunderbolt; adhokṣajaḥ—Lord Adhokṣaja; kareṇa—with the hand; karṇa-mūle—at the root of the ear; ahan—struck; yathā—as; tvāṣṭram—the demon Vṛtra (son of Tvaṣṭā); marut-patiḥ—Indra (lord of the Maruts).
TRANSLATION
The demon now began to strike the Lord with his hard fists, but Lord Adhokṣaja slapped him in the root of the ear, even as Indra, the lord of the Maruts, hit the demon Vṛtra.
PURPORT
The Lord is explained here to be  adhokṣaja , beyond the reach of all material calculation.  Akṣaja  means the measurement of our senses, and  adhokṣaja  means that which is beyond the measurement of our senses.
