कश्च तावदसौ यं त्वं विष्णुरित्यभिभाषसे । वीर्येण तपसा चैव भोगेन च बलेन च न मया स समो भद्रे यं त्वं कामयसे ऽङ्गने ॥ 7-17-24 ॥
"And who, after all, is this one whom you call Vishnu — in valor, in austerity, in enjoyment, and in strength? He whom you desire, O gentle one, O lovely-limbed woman, is not the equal of me."
