Srimad-Bhagavatam: Canto 8 - Chapter 1 - Verse 10


Sanskrit:

न वायं ब्रह्मबन्धुर्विष्णुर्मायाविनां वर: ।द्विजरूपप्रतिच्छन्नो देवकार्यं चिकीर्षति ॥ १० ॥

ITRANS:

na vāyaṁ brahma-bandhurviṣṇur māyāvināṁ varaḥdvija-rūpa-praticchannodeva-kāryaṁ cikīrṣati

Translation:

“This Vāmana is certainly not a brāhmaṇa but the best of cheaters, Lord Viṣṇu. Assuming the form of a brāhmaṇa, He has covered His own form, and thus He is working for the interests of the demigods.
