Verse 32.12

कुशनाभसुता देव समस्ताः सुरसत्तम। स्थानाच्च्यावयितुं देवं रक्षामस्तु तपो वयम्॥

kuśanābhasutā deva samastāḥ surasattama| sthānāccyāvayituṃ devaṃ rakṣāmastu tapo vayam||

English Meaning

O foremost of celestials, we are the daughters of Kušanābha O divine one. And god as you are, we can dislodge you from your place; but we refrain from doing so, lest thereby we lose our ascetic merit.
