The Appearance of Vāmanadeva and His Arrival at Bali’s Sacrifice
दृष्ट्वादितिस्तं निजगर्भसम्भवं परं पुमांसं मुदमाप विस्मिता । गृहीतदेहं निजयोगमायया प्रजापतिश्चाह जयेति विस्मित: ॥ ११ ॥
dṛṣṭvāditis taṁ nija-garbha-sambhavaṁ paraṁ pumāṁsaṁ mudam āpa vismitā gṛhīta-dehaṁ nija-yoga-māyayā prajāpatiś cāha jayeti vismitaḥ
Ketika Aditi melihat Sang Pribadi Tertinggi yang muncul dari rahimnya sendiri, yang menerima tubuh transendental melalui yogamāyā-Nya, ia tertegun penuh takjub dan sangat berbahagia. Melihat sang bayi, Prajāpati Kaśyapa pun berseru dengan sukacita, “Jaya! Jaya!”
