TRANSLATION
The Lord, however, by moving slightly aside, dodged the violent mace
blow aimed at His breast by the enemy, just as an accomplished yogi would
elude death.
PURPORT
The example is given herein that the perfect yogi can overcome a death-
blow although tt is offered by the laws of nature. It is useless for a demon
lo beat the transcendental body of the Lord with a powerful mace because
no one can surpass His prowess. Those who are advanced transcendentalists
are freed from the laws of nature, and even a deathblow cannot act on
them. Superficially it may be seen that a yogi is attacked by adeathblow,
but by the grace of the Lord he can overcome many such attacks for the
service of the Lord. As the Lord exists by His own independent prowess,
so by the grace of the Lord the devotees also exist for His service.
