rāma rāma mahā-bāho
na jāne tava vikramam
yasyaikāṁśena vidhṛtā
jagatī jagataḥ pate
rāma rāma — O Rāma, Rāma; mahā-bāho — O mighty-armed one; na jāne — I do not appreciate; tava — Your; vikramam — prowess; yasya — whose; eka — one; aṁśena — by a portion; vidhṛtā — is sustained; jagatī — the earth; jagataḥ — of the universe; pate — O master.
[Goddess Yamunā said:] Rāma, Rāma, O mighty-armed one! I know nothing of Your prowess. With a single portion of Yourself You hold up the earth, O Lord of the universe.
The phrase ekāṁśena (“with a single portion”) refers to the Lord’s expansion as Śeṣa. This is confirmed by the ācāryas.
