sarve prayasa abhavan vimoghah
krtah krta deva-ganesu daityaih

krsndnukilesu yatha mahatsu
ksudraih prayukta isati riiksa-vacah

sarve—all; prayaséh—endeavors; abhavan—were: vimoghah—
futile; krtah—performed; krtah—again performed: deva-ganesu—unto
the demigods; daityaih—by the demons; krsna-anukilesu—who were
always protected by Krsna; yathd—just as: mahatsu—unto the
Vaisnavas; ksudraih—by insignificant persons: prayuktah—used:
uisatih—unfavorable; riiksa—rough; vacah—words.

TRANSLATION

When insignificant persons use rough words to cast false, angry
accusations against saintly persons, their fruitless words do not
disturb the great personalities. Similarly, all the efforts of the
demons against the demigods, who were favorably situated under
the protection of Krsna, were futile.

PURPORT

There is a Bengali saying that if a vulture curses a cow to die. the curse
will not be effective. Similarly, accusations made by demoniac persons
against devotees of Krsna cannot have any effect. The demigods are
devotees of Lord Krsna, and therefore the curses of the demons were
futile.
