Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 2.7.40
Blended reading (Sanskrit + English inline)
The highest scientific advancement of the material scientists is atomic energy. But the material scientist is not able to have an estimation of the particles of atoms contained in the whole universe. But even if one is able to count such atomic particles or is able to roll up the sky like one’s bedding, even then one is unable to estimate the extent of the prowess and energy of the Supreme Lord. He is known as Trivikrama because once, in His incarnation of Vāmana, He expanded His leg beyond the highest planetary system, Satyaloka, and reached the neutral state of the modes of nature called the covering of the material world. There are seven layers of material coverings over the material sky, and the Lord could penetrate even those coverings. With His toe He made a hole through which the water of the Causal Ocean filters into the material sky, and the current is known as the sacred Ganges, which purifies the planets of the three worlds. In other words, no one is equal to the transcendentally powerful Viṣṇu. He is omnipotent, and no one is equal to or greater than Him.
It is not possible to explain completely the līlāvatāras of the Lord. Is it possible to estimate the power of Viṣṇu? The word kartum is missing. He paralyzed the universe with the swiftness of his foot as Trivikrama, which caused tremendous trembling starting from the outermost layer of prakṛti (tri-sāmya-sadanād). There is the Vedic mantra:
viṣṇor vīryāṇi kiṁ prāvocaṁ yaḥ pārthivāny api vimane rajāṁsi yo ’skambhayad uttaraṁ sadhasthaṁ vicakramāṇas tredhorugāya
Can even he, who measures the dust of the earth, describe the powers of much praised Viṣṇu who took three steps and paralyzed the upper worlds along with the devatās?
Here is the meaning. Can even he, who measures the dust of the earth, describe the powers of much praised Viṣṇu who took three steps and paralyzed the upper worlds (uttaram) along with the devatās (sadhastham)? Stham means devatās and sadha means “with.”
