Shloka 42
प्रभावाद् वासुदेवस्य भवतां च प्रयत्नत: । समग्रं पार्थिवं क्षत्र॑ं सर्व न गणयाम्यहम्,“परंतु भगवान् वासुदेवके प्रभाव और आपलोगोंके प्रयत्नसे मैं इस समस्त भूमण्डलके सम्पूर्ण क्षत्रियोंको भी कुछ नहीं गिनता हूँ
prabhāvād vāsudevasya bhavatāṁ ca prayatnataḥ | samagraṁ pārthivaṁ kṣatraṁ sarvaṁ na gaṇayāmy aham ||
କିନ୍ତୁ ବାସୁଦେବଙ୍କ ପ୍ରଭାବ ଓ ଆପଣମାନଙ୍କ ପ୍ରୟାସରେ ମୁଁ ଏହି ସମଗ୍ର ଭୂମଣ୍ଡଳର ସମସ୍ତ କ୍ଷତ୍ରିୟ-ରାଜସମୂହକୁ ମଧ୍ୟ କିଛି ମନେ କରେନି।
