न कश्चिन्मत्परं लोके तेजसा यशसा श्रिया ।
विभूतिभिर्वाभिभवेद् देवोऽपि किमु पार्थिव: ॥

vibhūtibhir vābhibhaved devo’pi kim u pārthivaḥ ||
(Śrīmad Bhāgavatam: 10.72.11)

[Bhagavān Śrī Kṛṣṇa:] “No one in this world, [not] even a deva, much less a king, with power, fame, beauty, or resources, can subjugate one who is given over to me [i.e., one who has nothing in the world except me, so there is certainly no way anyone can subjugate you, Yudhiṣṭhira].”
