Verse 23.108

प्राहरद्राक्षसपतिः शूलशक्त्यष्टिपट्टिशैः। द्वीपिना स सिंह इव ऋषभेणेव कुञ्जरः॥ सुमेरुरिव नागेन्द्रनंदीवेगैरिवार्णवः। अकम्पमानः पुरुषो राक्षसं वाक्यमब्रवीत्॥

prāharadrākṣasapatiḥ śūlaśaktyaṣṭipaṭṭiśaiḥ| dvīpinā sa siṃha iva ṛṣabheṇeva kuñjaraḥ|| sumeruriva nāgendranaṃdīvegairivārṇavaḥ| akampamānaḥ puruṣo rākṣasaṃ vākyamabravīt||

English Meaning

As the lion is not moved by the attack of wolf, the elephant by that of a bull, the Sumeru by the king of serpents and the great Ocean, by the current of a river, so that great person was not agitated and said to the ten-necked demon. "O vicious-minded night-ranger, I shall soon remove they desire for a battle."
