1.17.56

jātaṃ nīrājanasya kṣaṇam anu nikhilā moham āpur yad etat
tasmin drāghīyasi syāt katham iti vividhād dhvasta-cittā vicārāt |
kṛṣṇas tv alpaṃ vihasya pratividhim akarot kalpitād yantra-bhedād
yasmin dīpāḥ sahasraṃ talam upari ca te cālyamānā virejuḥ || [śārdūla]

The moment for the waving of lamps arrived, and everyone was bewildered:
‘How can this be done when he is so exceedingly tall?’ Their minds were troubled by varied thoughts;
but Kṛṣṇa laughed softly and devised a remedy by an ingenious contrivance
in which a thousand lamps shone, being moved below and above.
