शक्ता हासि महीं कृत्स्नां वोढुं धारयितुं तथा । न हि ते किंचिदप्राप्पमन्यतो धारणादृते,“देवि! तुम सारी पृथ्वीको धारण करनेमें समर्थ हो, फिर इस गर्भको धारण करना तुम्हारे लिये कुछ असाध्य नहीं है”
śaktā hāsi mahīṁ kṛtsnāṁ voḍhuṁ dhārayituṁ tathā | na hi te kiṁcid aprāpyam anyato dhāraṇād ṛte |
ພີສະມະ ກ່າວວ່າ: «ໂອ ເທວີ, ເຈົ້າສາມາດອຸ້ມຮັບ ແລະຄ້ຳຈຸນແຜ່ນດິນທັງປວງໄດ້. ດັ່ງນັ້ນ ການອຸ້ມຄັນນີ້ ບໍ່ແມ່ນສິ່ງທີ່ເກີນກຳລັງເຈົ້າ—ບໍ່ມີສິ່ງໃດເກີນເຈົ້າ ນອກແຕ່ສິ່ງທີ່ຈະເປັນໄປບໍ່ໄດ້ ຫາກບໍ່ມີການຄ້ຳຈຸນເທົ່ານັ້ນ».

Educational Q&A
The verse emphasizes capacity aligned with duty: one who can uphold a vast responsibility (like sustaining the earth) should not shrink from a smaller, specific obligation (bearing an embryo). It frames endurance and protection as expressions of dharma and cosmic order.
Bhīṣma addresses a Devī, praising her world-sustaining power and reassuring her that carrying the pregnancy is well within her ability. The statement functions as encouragement grounded in her known cosmic role as supporter of the earth.
