SrIr-dhruvA cApi daksheshu dhruvo nArAyaNe jayah ||
We also have the vishNu sahasranAma phala-Sruti Slokam which we will
encounter later:
yatra yogeSvarah kRshNo yatra pArtho dhanur-dharah |
tatra SrIr-vijayo bhUtir-dhruvA nItir-matir-mama || (gItA 18.78)
Where kRshNa, the Lord of the yoga-s is, and where pArtha, the bow-armed
arjuna is, there is prosperity, there is victory, there is wealth, and there is
firm justice - this is my conclusion".
SrI BhaTTar quotes from the Ayurveda caraka samhitA, where again the
invincibility of bhagavAn is conveyed:
yathA'ham nAbhijAnAmi vAsudeve parAjayam |
mAtuSca pANigrahaNam samudrasya ca SoshaNam |
etena satya-vAkyena sicyatAm agado hyayam ||
"On the veracity of the following statements, may this medicine be pounded
and be effective: "There is no defeat for vAsudeva"; "I have not witnessed
the marriage of my mother"; "the ocean will never become completely dry".
(These are all absolute true statements)".
In vaitaraNa, the following is used to invoke the efficacy of the poisonremoving
mantra:
ratnAkara iva akshobhyo himavAniva ca acalah |
jAtavedA iva adhRshyo nArAyaNa iva ajayah ||
"Let this poison-removing mantra be effective just as the ocean is
imperturbable, himAvan is unshakable, fire is unapproachable, and nArAyaNa is
unconquerable".
SrI BhaTTar also gives references to SrImad rAmAyaNam and
mahAbhAratam: a-jayyah SASvato dhruvah (yuddha. 114.15); a-jitah khaDga-
