वराहवपुषा भूयो भूमेरुद्धरणं पुनः / मुख्यादिसर्गकथनं मुनिसर्गस्तथापरः
varāhavapuṣā bhūyo bhūmeruddharaṇaṃ punaḥ / mukhyādisargakathanaṃ munisargastathāparaḥ
ومرّةً أخرى، في هيئةِ فَرَاهَا (Varāha) وُصِفَ رفعُ الأرضِ وإنقاذُها؛ ثم تلا ذلك ذكرُ الخلقِ الأوّل وسائرِ الخلائق؛ وبعده ذُكِرَ أيضًا خلقُ الحكماءِ (المُنيّين).

FAQs
Indirectly: by listing cosmic events (sarga and the Earth’s rescue), it frames the Purāṇa’s teaching that the transcendent Lord/Ātman is also the immanent cause who manifests and sustains creation through avatāra and orderly emanation.
No specific technique is taught in this verse; it functions as a topical index. In the Kurma Purana’s larger arc, such cosmological ordering supports later discipline (Yoga and dharma) by showing the world as īśvara-governed and therefore fit for sādhana (especially in the Upari-bhāga’s Ishvara Gita and Pāśupata-oriented teachings).
By emphasizing avatāra (Varāha) and structured creation, it aligns with the Kurma Purana’s integrative stance: the same supreme reality operates through multiple divine forms and functions—later articulated as harmony rather than rivalry between Śaiva and Vaiṣṇava perspectives.
