The demon now began to strike the Lord with his hard fists, but Lord
Adhoksaja slapped him in the root of the ear, even as Indra, the lord of
the Maruts, hit the demon Vrtra.

material calculation. Aksaja means the measurement of our senses, and
adhoksaja means that which is beyond the measurement of our senses.
