Hymn to Varāha and Pṛthivī’s Inquiry
Prelude to the Sanatkumāra Dialogue
मां त्वं मग्नामसि त्रातुं लोकनाथ इहार्हसि ॥ आदिकालात्मकः कृष्णः सर्वलोकात्मको विभुः ॥
māṃ tvaṃ magnām asi trātuṃ lokanātha ihārhasi || ādikālātmakaḥ kṛṣṇaḥ sarvalokātmako vibhuḥ ||
मैं परेशानी में फंसा हूँ, मुझे बचा लो, दुनिया के मालिक। तुम कृष्ण हो, शुरू से ही हो, पुराने समय से। तुम सब दुनिया के आधार हो, बड़े शक्तिशाली हो।
Pṛthivī (default; petition aligns strongly with Earth-in-distress motif)
