भूयो भूयो हि यद्राजन्पृच्छसे पाण्डवान्प्रति । सारासारबलं ज्ञातुं तन्मे निगदतः शृणु॥५-६६-६॥

Since, O king, you repeatedly ask about the Pāṇḍavas in order to understand the essential and non-essential aspects of strength, listen to me as I state it.

english translation

एकतो वा जगत्कृत्स्नमेकतो वा जनार्दनः । सारतो जगतः कृत्स्नादतिरिक्तो जनार्दनः॥५-६६-७॥

Let the entire world stand on one side, and Janārdana on the other; in essential worth, Janārdana surpasses the whole world.

english translation

भस्म कुर्याज्जगदिदं मनसैव जनार्दनः । न तु कृत्स्नं जगच्छक्तं भस्म कर्तुं जनार्दनम्॥५-६६-८॥

Janārdana could reduce this world to ashes by mind alone; but the entire world is not capable of reducing Janārdana to ashes.

english translation

यतः सत्यं यतो धर्मो यतो ह्रीरार्जवं यतः । ततो भवति गोविन्दो यतः कृष्णस्ततो जयः॥५-६६-९॥

Where truth is, where dharma is, where moral restraint and integrity are—there is Govinda; and where Kṛṣṇa is, there is victory.

english translation

पृथिवीं चान्तरिक्षं च दिवं च पुरुषोत्तमः । विचेष्टयति भूतात्मा क्रीडन्निव जनार्दनः॥५-६६-१०॥

Puruṣottama, the inner Self of beings, sets in motion the earth, the mid-region, and the heavens—Janārdana acting as though in play.
