parajitah - He Who cannot be conquered by anyone and through any means is aparAjitah.
SrI BhaTTar quotes several examples where the deva-s have declared over
and over again that bhagavAn cannot be vanquished by anyone.
ekam hanishyasi ripum garjantam tam mahAmRdhe |
na tu tam prArthayasyekam rakshyate sa mahAtmanA ||
yam Ahur-veda-vidusho vArAham a-jitam harim |
nArAyaNam a-cintyam ca tena kRshNena rakshyate ||

(bhA. udyo.129.40)
indra tells karNa: "In the great fight, I give you the power to kill one
thundering warrior, but this cannot be the one you wish to kill (arjuna), since
he is protected by the Great Lord (kRshNa). KRshNa is none other than the
Invincible Hari, Who had assumed the form of the Wild Boar, and Who is the
Incomparable nArAyaNa, as declared by the vedic scholars".
The same message is given to jayadratha by rudra:
a-jayyAnScApi a-vadhyAnSca vArayishyasi tAn yudhi |
Rte arjunam mahA-bAhum devairapi durAsadam |
yam Ahuh amitam devam Sa'nkha-cakra-gadA-dharam |
pradhAnah so'stra-vidushAm tena kRshNena rakshyate ||
(bhA. vana.260.75)
"In the fight you can ward off the attacks of all invincible and indestructible
warriors except the long-armed arjuna who is unassailable even to the gods,
since he is protected by kRshNa who is the Unknowable Deity Who bears the
conch, discus and mace as arms".
BhIshma, droNa, etc., declare that they could have annihilated the pANDava-s
without a trace if only vishNu had not been their Protector, and that just as
certainly as truth rests with a brAhmin, humility is certain in the pious, and
wealth is sure in the skillful, so also victory is certain for nArAyaNa:
