Unspecified in the provided excerpt (likely a narrator addressing a king: 'narādhipa')
Concept: The Supreme can veil and unveil His magnitude; humility (dwarf form) and sovereignty (cosmic form) are both expressions of the same Bhagavān.

Sandhi Resolution Notes: punastrivikramo = punaḥ + trivikramaḥ. bhūdavāmanaḥ read as bhūta-avāmanaḥ (sandhi: a + a → ā; written with d as euphonic in some recensions). prādurbhāvaḥ is avyayībhāva (prādur + bhāva).
