7.4.52_10

By his yogic power Dadhīca rejoined his own body that had become so, / and went to Śarva for refuge. / Having propitiated the Lord of gods, he obtained supreme invulnerability, / bones as hard as a thunderbolt, impenetrability, and freedom from old age from Śaṅkara, / compassion for all beings, and great yogic power. / He returned to see Kṣupa, and friendship arose between the two again. / And the passion born of caste arose just as before: / that Kṣupa struck him with his left foot. / And taking the thunderbolt again, he struck him then. / But that thunderbolt caused him neither distress nor pain, O sage. / Then, realizing the invulnerability of that great-souled one, / Kṣupa approached Nārāyaṇa and propitiated him for a boon.
