त्वं हि लोकपतिर्देव न त्वां जानाति कश्चन । अहं ते वै विशालाक्ष भूतपूर्वपरिग्रहः
tvaṃ hi lokapatirdeva na tvāṃ jānāti kaścana | ahaṃ te vai viśālākṣa bhūtapūrvaparigrahaḥ
يا ديفا، إنك حقًّا ربُّ العوالم، ولا أحد يعرف كنهك على التمام. يا واسعَ العينين، أنا لك—خادمٌ ومِلكٌ قد قُبِل منذ الأزل.
Brahmā (pitāmaha), contextually addressing Viṣṇu
Tirtha: Ayodhyā (Sarayū-tīra)
Type: kshetra
Listener: Pilgrimage audience (not explicit)
Scene: Brahmā stands with folded hands before Rāma, eyes lowered in humility; devas behind him. Rāma remains serene, wide-eyed, radiating quiet authority; the river glimmers nearby.
God’s true greatness is beyond ordinary knowing; the devotee’s right response is humility and surrender.
Ayodhyā is the overarching sacred geography of this section (Ayodhyāmāhātmya).
None directly; the verse emphasizes theological praise and self-offering to the Lord.
