pṛthivī nirbhayā deva tvatprasādāt sadābhavat | tasmād bhava viśālākṣa yaduvaṁśavivardhanaḥ ||
Bhīṣma said: “O Lord, by your grace the earth has always remained free from fear. Therefore, O wide‑eyed one, become again the increaser of the Yadu line—take birth on earth once more and augment its renown.”
