मम भक्तास्तु ते दैत्या मया वध्या कथं सुराः ॥ विचार्यतां भवद्भिश्च धर्मज्ञैरेव धर्मतः ॥ ६ ॥
Those Asuras are my devotees. O Gods, how can they be slain by us? Let this aspect be thought over by you who know what is virtue. You must consider this virtuously.
english translation
तावत्ते नैव हंतव्या यावद्भक्तिकृतश्च मे ॥ तथापि विष्णवे देवा निवेद्यं कारणं त्विदम् ॥ ७ ॥
They should not be slain as long as they continue their devotion to me. Yet, this reason may very well be intimated to Viṣṇu.
