O Kunti, this magnanimous son of yours will be handsome like the Soma, swift like the Wind, patient like Sumeru, forbearing like the Earth, effulgent like Sun. wealthy like Kubera, valiant and powerful like Vishnu. This son of yours, even like Aditi's son Vishnu, the slayer of foes, has taken his being in order to bring victory to his kins and deal destruction to the enemies. This boy of indomitable valour will be far-famed and the founder of a dynasty.'
कान्त्या शशाङ्कस्य जवेन वायोः स्थैर्येण मेरोः क्षमया पृथिव्याः। सूर्यस्य भासा धनदस्य लक्ष्म्या शौर्येण शक्रस्य बलेन विष्णोः॥ तुल्यो महात्मा तव कुन्ति पुत्रो जातोऽदितेर्विष्णुरिवारिहन्ता। स्वेषां जयाय द्विषतां वधाय ख्यातोऽमितौजाः कुलतन्तुकर्ता॥
