अर्जुनो वासुदेवश्च धन्विनौ परमार्चितौ । कामादन्यत्र संभूतौ सर्वाभावाय संमितौ ॥
English Translation
Sanjaya said Arjuna and the son of Vasudeva, the two very adorable wielders of the bow, born in a region other than their own out of their own will are equal to each other in every detail of their nature.
द्यामन्तरं समास्थाय यथायुक्तं मनस्विनः । चक्रं तद्वासुदेवस्य मायया वर्तते विभो ॥
English Translation
That disc of the son of Vasudeva exists, as illusion, O lord though five cubits in diameter it can be hurled by that intelligent in any form he likes.
सापह्नवं पाण्डवेषु पाण्डवानां सुसंमतम् । सारासारबलं ज्ञात्वा तत्समासेन मे शृणु ॥
English Translation
(That disc) is the destroyer of the Kurus and therefore dear to the Pandavas. Shining with effulgence, it is the best measure for forming an idea of points of strength and weakness.
नरकं शम्बरं चैव कंसं चैद्यं च माधवः । जितवान्घोरसंकाशान्क्रीडन्निव जनार्दनः ॥
English Translation
That descendant of Madhu, of great strength, as if in play, conquered Naraka, Shambara, Kansa and the king of the Chedis in terrific battle.
पृथिवीं चान्तरिक्षं च द्यां चैव पुरुषोत्तमः । मनसैव विशिष्टात्मा नयत्यात्मवशं वशी ॥
English Translation
That foremost men, of a superior soul, can by mere force of his will bring under control the earth, the sky and the heavens.
भूयो भूयो हि यद्राजन्पृच्छसे पाण्डवान्प्रति । सारासारबलं ज्ञातुं तन्मे निगदतः शृणु ॥
English Translation
Again and again, have you, O king, asked me about the Pandavas with a view to know their strength and the points of their superiority and inferiority. Listen to that from me in brief:
एकतो वा जगत्कृत्स्नमेकतो वा जनार्दनः । सारतो जगतः कृत्स्नादतिरिक्तो जनार्दनः ॥
English Translation
If the entire world be placed on one side and Janardana on the other; then will the entire world be surpassed by Janardana in point of strength.
भस्म कुर्याज्जगदिदं मनसैव जनार्दनः । न तु कृत्स्नं जगच्छक्तं भस्म कर्तुं जनार्दनम् ॥
English Translation
The entire world is not able to reduce Janardana to ashes; while Janardana can reduce the world into ashes.
यतः सत्यं यतो धर्मो यतो ह्रीरार्जवं यतः । ततो भवति गोविन्दो यतः कृष्णस्ततो जयः ॥
English Translation
Where there is truth, where there is righteousness, where there is modesty and where there is humanity, there is Govinda. Where there is Krishna; there is victory.
पृथिवीं चान्तरिक्षं च दिवं च पुरुषोत्तमः । विचेष्टयति भूतात्मा क्रीडन्निव जनार्दनः ॥
English Translation
That foremost men, of a superior soul, can by mere force of his will bring under control the earth, the sky and the heavens.
स कृत्वा पाण्डवान्सत्रं लोकं संमोहयन्निव । अधर्मनिरतान्मूढान्दग्धुमिच्छति ते सुतान् ॥
English Translation
He, making the Pandavas his instruments, desires to consume your foolish sons, who are attached to vice, sleeping the world in illusion.
कालचक्रं जगच्चक्रं युगचक्रं च केशवः । आत्मयोगेन भगवान्परिवर्तयतेऽनिशम् ॥
English Translation
The wheel of time, the wheel of the world and the wheel of the Yuga (i.e. the wheel of work leading to births and rebirths) dose that ! prosperous bcing ever cause to revolve by application of his soul.
कालस्य च हि मृत्योश्च जङ्गमस्थावरस्य च । ईशते भगवानेकः सत्यमेतद्ब्रवीमि ते ॥
English Translation
That prosperous Being alone is lord over Time, Death and over all mobile and immobile beings. I tell you the truth.
ईशन्नपि महायोगी सर्वस्य जगतो हरिः । कर्माण्यारभते कर्तुं कीनाश इव दुर्बलः ॥
English Translation
Though larding over the entire world, Hari, that great anchorite, has recourse to work, as a cultivator tills the soil.
तेन वञ्चयते लोकान्मायायोगेन केशवः । ये तमेव प्रपद्यन्ते न ते मुह्यन्ति मानवाः ॥
English Translation
By such illusion dose Keshava deceive the world; but those men that have understood him are not deceived.
