Shloka 5.1.94
समुद्रलङ्घनारम्भः — Commencement of the Ocean-Crossing
तिर्यगूर्ध्वमधश्चैव शक्तिस्ते शैल वर्धितुम्।।।।तस्मात्संचोदयामि त्वामुत्तिष्ठ गिरिसत्तम।
tiryag ūrdhvam adhaś caiva śaktis te śaila vardhitum | tasmāt saṃcodayāmi tvām uttiṣṭha girisattama ||
O mountain, you have the power to expand sideways, upward, and downward; therefore I urge you—rise up, O best of mountains.
"O noble mountain! you have the capacity to grow across, upward and downward by your free will. I therefore prompt you to grow.
Timely aid: when one has capacity, dharma calls for activating it to support a righteous mission.
Samudra instructs Maināka to emerge from the ocean using his innate power of expansion.
Readiness to serve: power is framed as responsibility, not mere possession.
