Srimad-Bhagavatam: Canto 11 - Chapter 1 - Verse 19


Sanskrit:

एधमाने गुणे सत्त्वे देवानां बलमेधते ।असुराणां च रजसि तमस्युद्धव रक्षसाम् ॥ १९ ॥

ITRANS:

edhamāne guṇe sattvedevānāṁ balam edhateasurāṇāṁ ca rajasitamasy uddhava rakṣasām

Translation:

With the increase of the mode of goodness, the strength of the demigods similarly increases. When passion increases, the demoniac become strong. And with the rise of ignorance, O Uddhava, the strength of the most wicked increases.
