Transmission of Bhāgavata Wisdom and Brahmā’s Vision of the Supreme Lord on Ananta
निवीतमाम्नायमधुव्रतश्रिया स्वकीर्तिमय्या वनमालया हरिम् । सूर्येन्दुवाय्वग्न्यगमं त्रिधामभि: परिक्रमत्प्राधनिकैर्दुरासदम् ॥ ३१ ॥
nivītam āmnāya-madhu-vrata-śriyā sva-kīrti-mayyā vana-mālayā harim sūryendu-vāyv-agny-agamaṁ tri-dhāmabhiḥ parikramat-prādhanikair durāsadam
Lord Brahmā, thus looking upon the Lord in the shape of a mountain, concluded that He was Hari, the Personality of Godhead. He saw that the garland of flowers on His chest glorified Him with Vedic wisdom in sweet songs and looked very beautiful. He was protected by the Sudarśana wheel for fighting, and even the sun, moon, air, fire, etc., could not have access to Him.
This verse depicts cosmic rulers like the sun, moon, wind, and fire circumambulating Hari, showing that even the highest administrators honor and worship the Supreme Lord as their source and master.
Because those influenced by pradhāna—material nature and its modes—cannot easily perceive or reach Him through material power or intellect; He is approached through devotion and grace.
It encourages prioritizing bhakti and humility: even great powers revolve around the Divine, so a seeker should cultivate devotion, remembrance, and reverence rather than relying only on material achievement.
