GaP 3 14.48
अमुख्यभोजिनो जीवाः कुन्त्याद्या मुख्यभोजिनः । शुभानि च पिबेद्विष्णुरशुभं नो पिबेद्विभुः
amukhyabhojino jīvāḥ kuntyādyā mukhyabhojinaḥ / śubhāni ca pibedviṣṇuraśubhaṃ no pibedvibhuḥ
The living beings eat what is not primary; Kuntī and the rest eat what is primary. And Viṣṇu may drink the auspicious things, but the Lord would not drink the inauspicious.

GaP 3 14.49
को वदेत्तस्य चेष्टां तु पूर्णानन्दो हरिः स्वयम् । न तेन सदृशः कोपि देशे काले च विद्यते । तस्यावतारान्वक्ष्यहं शृणु पक्षीन्द्रसत्तम
ko vadettasya ceṣṭāṃ tu pūrṇānando hariḥ svayam / na tena sadṛśaḥ kopi deśe kāle ca vidyate / tasyāvatārānvakṣyahaṃ śṛṇu pakṣīndrasattama
Who could tell of his activity? Hari himself is full bliss. There is no one anywhere equal to him, in place or in time. I shall now tell of his descents (avatāras) — listen, best of the lords of birds.
