Bhaktivedanta VedaBase: Śrīmad Bhāgavatam 10.26.21

ya etasmin mahā-bhāge

prītiḿ kurvanti mānavāḥ

nārayo 'bhibhavanty etān

viṣṇu-pakṣān ivāsurāḥ

SYNONYMS

ye — those persons who; etasmin — unto this child; mahā-bhāge — most auspicious; prītim — affection; kurvanti — execute; mānavāḥ — such persons; na — not; arayaḥ — their enemies; abhibhavantido overcome; etān — those who are attached to Kṛṣṇa; viṣṇu-pakṣān — the demigods, who always have Lord Viṣṇu on their side; iva — like; asurāḥ — the demons.

TRANSLATION

Demons cannot harm the demigods, who always have Lord Viṣṇu on their side. Similarly, any person or group attached to all-auspicious Kṛṣṇa cannot be defeated by enemies

PURPORT

Śrīla Prabhupāda has especially indicated in this connection that just as Lord Kṛṣṇa's associates could not be defeated by Kaḿsa, so His modern-day devotees will not be defeated by their demoniac opponents, nor will the Lord's devotees be defeated by the internal enemies — the lusty, materialistic senses.
