upendra-bhuja-pālitaḥ
śriyā paramayā juṣṭo
mumude gata-sādhvasaḥ
Indra, King of heaven, being protected by the arms of Vāmanadeva, having regained his rule of the three worlds and endowed with the utmost wealth, lived happily without fear.
|| 8.23.26-27 ||
brahmā śarvaḥ kumāraś ca
bhṛgv-ādyā munayo nṛpa
pitaraḥ sarva-bhūtāni
siddhā vaimānikāś ca ye
sumahat karma tad viṣṇor
gāyantaḥ param adbhutam
dhiṣṇyāni svāni te jagmur
aditiṁ ca śaśaṁsire
O King! Brahmā, Śiva, Kārttikeya, the sages headed by Bhṛgu, the Pitṛs and all other living entities present there, including the inhabitants of Siddhaloka and living entities who travel in outer space by airplane, after glorifying the uncommon activities of Lord Vāmanadeva, praised Aditi and returned to their respective planets.
|| 8.23.28 ||
sarvam etan mayākhyātaṁ
bhavataḥ kula-nandana
urukramasya caritaṁ
śrotṝṇām agha-mocanam
O Mahārāja Parīkṣit, pleasure of your dynasty! I have now described to you everything about the activities of Vāmanadeva, which destroy all sin in the listener.
|| 8.23.29 ||
pāraṁ mahimna uruvikramato gṛṇāno
yaḥ pārthivāni vimame sa rajāṁsi martyaḥ
kiṁ jāyamāna uta jāta upaiti martya
ity āha mantra-dṛg ṛṣiḥ puruṣasya yasya
One who is subject to death cannot measure the glories of Trivikrama any more than he can count the number of atoms on the entire planet earth. No one, whether born already or destined to take birth, is able to do this. This has been sung by the great sage Vaśiṣṭha.
I have described the whole story of Urukrama a little bit (ā ākhyātam). I have told a little about the beginning, middle and end of the whole story. “You should tell this story completely.” The human who can recite till the end of the glories of Urukrama would be able to count the particles of dust in the universe. Just as it is impossible to count all the dust particles in the universe, it is impossible to fully glorify the qualities of Viṣṇu. Can any mortal living now or in the future find an end to the glories of complete Lord? No one can do this. The sage Vaśiṣṭha, seer of mantras, has said this. Viṣṇor nu kaṁ vīryāṇi prāvocam: I will describe the mighty deeds of Viṣṇu, who took three steps. (Ṛg-veda 1.154.1) Na te viṣṇor jāyamāno na jāto mahimnāḥ pāram antam āpa: anyone born or to be born cannot find an end to the glories of Viṣṇu. (Ṛg-veda 7.99.2)
