Pleased, Yudhistira said - Who can understand your game, O Lord. You are the lord of three worlds, the creator and destroyer of all.
As a fish you rescued the Vedas from the waters.
As a tortoise, you saved the earth.
As a boar, you held the earth in your tusks.
As Narasimha your killed Hiranyakashipu.
As the dwarf, you pushed Bali into the nether world and took over the three worlds with your feet.
As Rama, you killed Ravana.
As Parasshurama, you killed all Kshatriyas.
As Balarama, you married the daughter of Surya. (Revati, wife of Balarama, was a girl of the solar dynasty).
As Buddha you show compassion and as Kalki you will get rid of evil. (This seems to be an addition specific here, as Vyasa's epic has no mention of Buddha. Buddha was born much after the Mahabharata was composed.)
The sages try to reach you but are unable to. The Vedas are in your control.
Hearing this, Vishnu embraced Yudhistira, and Yudhistira lived in the heaven, with his near ones.
