Translation and purport composed by disciples of Śrīla Prabhupāda
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 Kaṁsa, 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.
