daityendrā svarvadhopāyaiḥ śaktyā hantuṃ hi nānyataḥ.
durjayastārako daityo muktvā saptadinaṃ śiśum .. 153.11 ..

Hearing such words of Indra the long-armed Lord Viṣṇu the destroyer of the enemies of the Devas the refuge of all looked full of all glory and becoming pleased said to Indra — All the Daityas will not be killed unless their predestined means of death occur The unconquerable Daitya Tārakāsura will be killed at the hands of a seven days' old baby and by none else Some demons deserve being killed by a woman Some by a virgin, but the wicked demon Jambha is destined to meet with death at your hands, you should, therefore, destroy him the terror of the world, by your own prowess, no one else can kill him Guarded by me, you go and kill Jambha the thorn of the universe"—10-14
