Verse 117.16

संस्कारास्त्वभवन्वेदा नैतदस्ति त्वया विना। जगत्सर्व शरीरं ते स्थैर्य ते वसुधातलम्॥ अग्निः कोपः प्रसादस्ते सोमः श्रीवत्सलक्षणः। त्वया लोकास्त्रयः क्रान्ताः पुरा स्वैविक्रमैत्रिभिः॥ महेन्द्रश्च कृतो राजा बलिं बद्ध्वा सुदारुणम्। सीता लक्ष्मीर्भवान्विष्णुर्देवः कृष्णः प्रजापतिः॥

saṃskārāstvabhavanvedā naitadasti tvayā vinā| jagatsarva śarīraṃ te sthairya te vasudhātalam|| agniḥ kopaḥ prasādaste somaḥ śrīvatsalakṣaṇaḥ| tvayā lokāstrayaḥ krāntāḥ purā svaivikramaitribhiḥ|| mahendraśca kṛto rājā baliṃ baddhvā sudāruṇam| sītā lakṣmīrbhavānviṣṇurdevaḥ kṛṣṇaḥ prajāpatiḥ||

English Meaning

The Vedas are significant of your desire and the control thereof-none has got independent existence but you. The whole universe is your body, the earth is your patience, the fire is your anger-the sun and the moon are your delight; you have got Śrīvatsa (a peculiar curl of hair); you did before tread the three worlds with your three foot steps; you did get the dreadful Vālī bound and make Mahendra king: Sītā is Lakşmi and you are Krşņa and Vişnu the Preserver of people.
