Srimad-Bhagavatam: Canto 8 - Chapter 1 - Verse 20


Sanskrit:

श्रुत्वाश्वमेधैर्यजमानमूर्जितंबलिं भृगूणामुपकल्पितैस्तत: ।जगाम तत्राखिलसारसम्भृतोभारेण गां सन्नमयन्पदे पदे ॥ २० ॥

ITRANS:

śrutvāśvamedhair yajamānam ūrjitaṁbaliṁ bhṛgūṇām upakalpitais tataḥjagāma tatrākhila-sāra-sambhṛtobhāreṇa gāṁ sannamayan pade pade

Translation:

When the Lord heard that Bali Mahārāja was performing aśvamedha sacrifices under the patronage of brāhmaṇas belonging to the Bhṛgu dynasty, the Supreme Lord, who is full in every respect, proceeded there to show His mercy to Bali Mahārāja. By His weight, He pushed down the earth with every step.

Purport:

The Supreme Personality of Godhead is akhila-sāra-sambhṛta. In other words, He is the proprietor of everything essential in this material world. Thus although the Lord was going to Bali Mahārāja to beg something, He is always complete and has nothing to beg from anyone. Indeed, He is so powerful that in His full opulence He pressed down the surface of the earth at every step.
