श्रेयो-धर्मकर्मविचारः
Inquiry into Śreyas, Dharma, and Karma
इत्येतदाख्यातमहीनसत्त्व नारायणस्येह बल॑ मया ते,उत्कृष्ट बलशाली दैत्यराज! इस प्रकार यहाँ मैंने तुमसे यह भगवान् नारायणका बल एवं प्रभाव बताया है”
ity etad ākhyātam ahīna-sattva nārāyaṇasyeha balaṁ mayā te | utkṛṣṭa-balaśālī daitya-rāja! evaṁ mayātra tubhyaṁ bhagavato nārāyaṇasya balaṁ prabhāvaṁ ca kathitam ||
毗湿摩说道：“噢，勇气不减者！噢，力量卓绝的阿修罗（代提耶）之王！我已在此向你叙述了那罗延尊主的威力与显现的伟大。愿此明悟抑制傲慢，使心志安定，并使力量趋向正法之行，而非与神圣争竞。”

Educational Q&A
Even the mightiest worldly power is secondary to the supreme power of Nārāyaṇa; recognizing this fosters humility and redirects strength toward dharma rather than ego-driven opposition.
Bhīṣma concludes an explanatory account addressed to a powerful Daitya king, stating that he has now described Nārāyaṇa’s strength and extraordinary influence, effectively closing a doctrinal narration about divine supremacy.
