सर्वे नमस्यन्ति च सिद्धसङ्घाः ॥ ६.३५.३६ ॥

वायुर्यमोऽग्निर्वरुणः शशाङ्कः ।

न त्वत्समोऽस्त्यभ्यधिकः कुतोऽन्यो ।
लोकत्रयेऽप्यप्रतिमप्रभावः ॥ ६.३५.४३ ॥
You are the father of the world, of the moving and the unmoving; you are its worthy one and its greatest teacher. None is equal to you, how then could anyone be greater? In the three worlds your power has no peer.
6.35.44
तस्मात्प्रणम्य प्रणिधाय कायं ।
प्रसादये त्वामहमीशमीड्यम् ।
पितेव पुत्रस्य सखेव सख्युः ।
प्रियः प्रियायार्हसि देव सोढुम् ॥ ६.३५.४४ ॥

भूत्वा पुनः सौम्यवपुर्महात्मा ॥ ६.३५.५० ॥
Having spoken thus to Arjuna, Vāsudeva showed him his own form again; and comforting the frightened man, the great soul took once more his gentle form.

इदानीमस्मि संवृत्तः सचेताः प्रकृतिं गतः ॥ ६.३५.५१ ॥
Having seen this gentle human form of yours, O Janārdana, I have now come to my senses and returned to my natural state.

सुदुर्दर्शमिदं रूपं दृष्टवानसि यन्मम ।
देवा अप्यस्य रूपस्य नित्यं दर्शनकाङ्क्षिणः ॥ ६.३५.५२ ॥
This form of mine that you have seen is very hard to behold; even the gods always long to see this form.

नाहं वेदैर्न तपसा न दानेन न चेज्यया ।
शक्य एवंविधो द्रष्टुं दृष्टवानसि मां यथा ॥ ६.३५.५३ ॥

निर्वैरः सर्वभूतेषु यः स मामेति पाण्डव ॥ ६.३५.५५ ॥
