Commentary:
The gods and goddesses worshipped pure 辫谤腻峁嘺鈥攖hat is, 辫谤腻峁嘺 without the organs鈥攁s 耻诲驳墨迟丑补. As before, the demons tried to hurt 辫谤腻峁嘺, but they failed. In fact, they got lost in 辫谤腻峁嘺. They met the same fate as chunks of earth thrown against granite. When the chunks hit the granite, they break into pieces and are destroyed. Similarly, it is beyond the power of the demons to do any harm to 辫谤腻峁嘺.
