वाराहं क्रियतां रूपं ब्रह्मणा प्रेरितः स्वयम् । महावराहरूपं स कृत्वा भूमेरधो गतः
vārāhaṃ kriyatāṃ rūpaṃ brahmaṇā preritaḥ svayam | mahāvarāharūpaṃ sa kṛtvā bhūmeradho gataḥ
«Prends la forme du Sanglier (Varāha)»,—ainsi l’y exhorta Brahmā lui-même. Alors il revêtit la forme du Grand Varāha et descendit sous la Terre.
Narrator
Tirtha: Vastrāpatha-kṣetra (narrative setting)
Type: kshetra
Listener: Viṣṇu
Scene: Brahmā urges Viṣṇu to assume Varāha; Viṣṇu expands into the Great Boar form and plunges downward toward the nether realms.
The Lord accepts even formidable, earth-bound forms to lift the fallen world—avatāra is compassion expressed as action.
The glorification is indirect: Vastrāpathakṣetra’s māhātmya uses avatāra narratives to sanctify the Prabhāsa sacred region.
None in this verse.
