सर्वथा नार्यकर्मैतत्प्रशंसा स्वयमात्मनः । अतिवादापविद्धस्तु वक्ष्यामि बलमात्मनः॥५-७४-६॥

In every way, self-praise is not the conduct of the noble. Yet, compelled by the excess of your words, I shall speak of my own strength.

english translation

पश्येमे रोदसी कृष्ण ययोरासन्निमाः प्रजाः । अचले चाप्यनन्ते च प्रतिष्ठे सर्वमातरौ॥५-७४-७॥

Behold these two worlds, O Kṛṣṇa, wherein beings dwell—both resting upon the Immovable and the Boundless, the two universal mothers.

english translation

यदीमे सहसा क्रुद्धे समेयातां शिले इव । अहमेते निगृह्णीयां बाहुभ्यां सचराचरे॥५-७४-८॥

If these two, suddenly provoked, were to converge like two masses of rock, I could restrain them with my arms—together with all that is moving and unmoving.

english translation

पश्यैतदन्तरं बाह्वोर्महापरिघयोरिव । य एतत्प्राप्य मुच्येत न तं पश्यामि पूरुषम्॥५-७४-९॥

Behold this gap between my arms, like the interval between two massive iron bars. I do not see any man who, having come within it, would be released.

english translation

हिमवांश्च समुद्रश्च वज्री च बलभित्स्वयम् । मयाभिपन्नं त्रायेरन्बलमास्थाय न त्रयः॥५-७४-१०॥

Even Himavān, the Ocean, and Indra himself who bears the thunderbolt—though upheld by their power—would not, the three together, be able to protect one assailed by me.
