प्रमादाद्वा असुराः पराभवन्नप्रमादाद् ब्रह्मभूताः सुराश्च ।

In plain words

Heedlessness is what brought the asuras down. Vigilance is what made the gods Brahman itself.

Close to the Sanskrit

From heedlessness indeed the asuras were overcome; from heedlessness's absence the suras, and they became Brahman.
