Non-overcoming of one's essential nature is also stated in traditional texts by Kṛṣṇa and others (in the Bhagavadgītā) [and] in traditional texts [beginning with] "The demons..." (in the Skandapurāṇa). The meaning is that for this reason also, there is no overcoming of the natures of gods, demons, and humans.
