Shloka 25
अमानुषानपि रणे जेष्यसि त्वमसंशयम् । अनेन तु मनुष्याणां देवानामपि चाहवे,उस अभम्निप्रदत्त प्रिय अस्त्र चक्रको पाकर भगवान् श्रीकृष्ण भी उस समय सहायताके लिये समर्थ हो गये। उनसे अग्निदेवने कहा--“मधुसूदन! इस चक्रके द्वारा आप युद्धमें अमानव प्राणियोंको भी जीत लेंगे, इसमें संशय नहीं है। इसके होनेसे आप युद्धमें मनुष्यों, देवताओं, राक्षसों, पिशाचों, दैत्यों और नागोंसे भी अधिक शक्तिशाली होंगे तथा इन सबका संहार करनेमें भी निःसंदेह सर्वश्रेष्ठ सिद्ध होंगे
