44a divyāni karmāṇi tavādbhutāni pūrvāṇi pūrve ‚py ṛṣayaḥ smaranti
nānyo ‚sti kartā jagatas tvam eko dhātā vidhātā ca vibhur bhavaś ca

44c atyadbhutaṁ karma na duṣkaraṁ te karmopamānaṁ na hi vidyate te
na te guṇānāṁ parimāṇam asti na tejaso nāpi balasya na rddheḥ

Even sages of the past remember
your primeval divine and wonderful actions.
No one else is the creator of the world,
you alone are the founder, disposer, power and existence.

Are your wonders to be tolerated
or may I glorify the impossible [to describe]?
O powerful one, you are the creator of everything,
You alone are yourself and all that.

Wonderful actions are not difficult for you to do,
In you indeed there is [nothing] resembling action.
There is no limit to your virtue or dignity or powers or wealth.

imāni karmāṇi tavādbhutāni kṛtāni pūrve munayo vadanti
na te guṇānāṁ parimāṇam asti na tejasaś cāpi balasya viṣṇo
Sages of the past are telling
about your perfect wonderful actions.
O Viṣṇu, there is no limit to your virtue or dignity or powers.
