Even if a learned man is able to count all the minute atoms in this material world, he still cannot count the potencies of Lord Viṣṇu. In the form of the Vāmana incarnation, Lord Viṣṇu, without hindrance, captured all the planets, extending from the root of the material world up to Satyaloka. Indeed, He caused every planetary system to tremble by the force of His steps.

This is a quotation from Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam (SB 2.7.40). In the Ṛg Veda mantras (1.2.154.1), it is said:
- oṁ viṣṇor nu vīryāṇi kaṁ prāvocaṁ
- yaḥ pārthivāni vimame rajāṁsi
- yo ‘skambhayad uttaraṁ sadha-sthaṁ
- vicakramāṇas tredhorugāyaḥ
The meaning of this verse is practically identical to that of the verse from Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam quoted above.
