Verse 65.66
अहम् ईश्वरो मदकरो मरुमानुषाणां मह्यं सुरासुरवरो विषयानुवासी ।
संसारपंजरगता मदनाभिभूता कामातुरा मुच्यन्ति मृत्युपाशा ॥ ६६ ॥
aham īśvaro madakaro marumānuṣāṇāṃ mahyaṃ surāsuravaro viṣayānuvāsī |
saṃsārapaṃjaragatā madanābhibhūtā kāmāturā mucyanti mṛtyupāśā || 66 ||
“I am the lord who intoxicates devas and men. The fair Suras and Asuras who dwell in my domain, though caught in the cage of recurrent birth, are overcome by intoxication, and, drunk with pleasure, escape the snare of death.” (66)
