Srimad Bhagavatam — Prathama Skandha, Shloka 26
Parīkṣit Confronts Kali: Dharma (Bull) and Bhūmi (Cow) at the Dawn of Kali-yuga
इयं च भूमिर्भगवता न्यासितोरुभरा सती । श्रीमद्भिस्तत्पदन्यासै: सर्वत: कृतकौतुका ॥ २६ ॥
iyaṁ ca bhūmir bhagavatā nyāsitoru-bharā satī śrīmadbhis tat-pada-nyāsaiḥ sarvataḥ kṛta-kautukā
આ ધરતીનો ભારે ભાર ભગવાને (અને અન્યોએ પણ) નિશ્ચિત રીતે હળવો કર્યો; અવતારરૂપે તેઓ હાજર હતા ત્યારે તેમના શ્રીચરણોના શુભ પદચિહ્નોથી સર્વત્ર મંગલ જ મંગલ થયું।
