asmākam evāyaṁ vijayaḥ — "ours alone is this victory": the eva, "alone", gives everything away — pride does not merely rejoice, it appropriates with emphasis. tad dhaiṣāṁ vijajñau — "He discerned this thought of theirs": the inner witness of the first khaṇḍa, "the mind of the mind", reads the gods' thoughts like a book.
And His answer is not a thunderclap: tebhyo ha prādurbabhūva — "He appeared before them". To pride the Lord replies with presence. But a self-satisfied eye does not recognise even the manifest: the gods, who owe Him their victory, stand before Him and ask kim idaṁ yakṣam — "what is this spirit?" A yakṣa is a "wondrous being", the word for the unidentified: the Source of all their powers stands before them, and they open, so to speak, a file on an unknown phenomenon.
Such is the anatomy of self-exaltation: it does not abolish God's presence — it makes it unrecognisable. He may stand face to face, and the "victors" will be guessing what it is. All that follows is His mercy: those who did not recognise Him by His appearing He will teach to recognise Him by the failure of their powers.
