"If he killed the demon Shakuni in childhood, what is wondrous in that? Or that horse-demon and bull-demon, O Bhishma, who were not skilled in battle? If he toppled with his foot a lifeless wooden thing — a cart — what marvel was accomplished there, O Bhishma? If he held up for seven days a mountain the size of an anthill — that is Govardhana, O Bhishma — that, in my opinion, is no wonder."

Shishupala belittles every miracle: the demons were weak, the cart was lifeless, Govardhana as small as an anthill. Telling is how unbelief shrinks the greatest to the trivial, so long as it need not acknowledge the Lord's hand. But this diminishment is madness: a mountain lifted by a child and held for seven days over an entire people does not become an anthill merely because a blind man calls it so. The verse teaches that unbelief does not deny facts — it devalues them, twisting a miracle into a trifle; and one who has decided not to see God finds even a raised mountain a mere hillock. The truth of the Lord's deeds does not diminish through slander; only the slanderer's capacity to receive it diminishes.
