Bhagavata Purana 5.1.12
Srimad Bhagavatam · 1 · Verse 12
Sanskrit Original
न तस्य कश्चित्तपसा विद्यया वा न योगवीर्येण मनीषया वा । नैवार्थधर्मै: परत: स्वतो वा कृतं विहन्तुं तनुभृद्विभूयात् ॥ १२ ॥
na tasya kaścit tapasā vidyayā vā na yoga-vīryeṇa manīṣayā vā naivārtha-dharmaiḥ parataḥ svato vā kṛtaṁ vihantuṁ tanu-bhṛd vibhūyāt
One cannot avoid the order of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, not by the strength of severe austerities, an exalted Vedic education, or the power of mystic yoga, physical prowess or intellectual activities. Nor can one use his power of religion, his material opulence or any other means, either by himself or with the help of others, to defy the orders of the Supreme Lord. That is not possible for any living being, from Brahmā down to the ant.
