Translation

The Lord, although transcendental to all material modes, still surpassed all the qualities of the sons of Aditi, known as the Ādityas. The Lord appeared as the youngest son of Aditi. And because He surpassed all the planets of the universe, He is the Supreme Personality of Godhead. On the pretense of asking for a measurement of three footsteps of land, He took away all the lands of Bali Mahārāja. He asked simply because without begging, no authority can take one’s rightful possession.

ŚB 2.7.17 · गीता प्रेस पाठ

ज्यायान् गुणैरवरजोऽप्यदिते: सुतानां लोकान् विचक्रम इमान् यदथाधियज्ञ:। क्ष्मां वामनेन जगृहे त्रिपदच्छलेन याच्ञामृते पथि चरन् प्रभुभिर्न चाल्य:॥ १७

हिन्दी टीका-पाठ

भगवान् वामन अदितिके पुत्रोंमें सबसे छोटे थे, परन्तु गुणोंकी दृष्टिसे वे सबसे बड़े थे। क्योंकि यज्ञपुरुष भगवान् ने इस अवतारमें बलिके संकल्प छोड़ते ही सम्पूर्ण लोकोंको अपने चरणोंसे ही नाप लिया था। वामन बनकर उन्होंने तीन पग पृथ्वीके बहाने बलिसे सारी पृथ्वी ले तो ली, परन्तु इससे यह बात सिद्ध कर दी कि सन्मार्गपर चलनेवाले पुरुषोंको याचनाके सिवा और किसी उपायसे समर्थ पुरुष भी अपने स्थानसे नहीं हटा सकते, ऐश्‍वर्यसे च्युत नहीं कर सकते॥ १७॥

स्रोत-खंड सीमा · यह हिन्दी अंश गीता प्रेस डिजिटल पाठ में इस दृश्य श्लोक-इकाई के बाद आता है; इसे स्वतः एक-से-एक टीका या संस्करण-समानता नहीं माना गया है।
