तं वटुं वामनं दृष्ट्वा मोदमाना महर्षय: । कर्माणि कारयामासु: पुरस्कृत्य प्रजापतिम् ॥ १३ ॥
taṁ vaṭuṁ vāmanaṁ dṛṣṭvā modamānā maharṣayaḥ karmāṇi kārayām āsuḥ puraskṛtya prajāpatim
大聖仙たちは、梵行者の童子ヴァーマナ（小人のブラーフマナ）としての主を見て、深く歓喜した。そこで彼らはプラジャーパティ・カシュヤパを先頭に立て、誕生儀礼など一切のヴェーダの祭式を規定どおり執り行った。
According to Vedic civilization, when a child is born in the family of a brāhmaṇa, the birthday ceremony, known as jāta-karma, is first performed, and then other ceremonies are also gradually performed. But when this vāmana-rūpa appeared in the form of a vaṭu, or brahmacārī, His sacred thread ceremony was also performed immediately.
FAQs
Because Vāmana is the Supreme Lord appearing in a sacred brāhmaṇa-brahmacārī form, and His presence makes the ritual auspicious and spiritually potent.
Prajāpati refers to Kaśyapa, the progenitor-sage and father connected with Vāmana’s appearance; the sages honored him as the chief and conducted the rites under his prominence.
Spiritual practice becomes effective when centered on the Lord and guided by qualified elders—honor sacred leadership, and let devotion be the heart of all duties.
