दुर्वासाशापः, क्षीरसागरमन्थनम्, श्रीः (लक्ष्मी) उद्भवः तथा श्रीस्तुतिः
तं दृष्ट्वा ते तदा देवाः शङ्खचक्रगदाधरम् अपूर्वरूपसंस्थानं तेजसां राशिम् ऊर्जितम्
taṃ dṛṣṭvā te tadā devāḥ śaṅkhacakragadādharam apūrvarūpasaṃsthānaṃ tejasāṃ rāśim ūrjitam
彼を見たとき、神々は法螺貝・円盤・棍棒を持つ御方を見た――未曾有の御姿、完全な均整を備え、光輝の凝集そのものとして、抗しがたい威力に満ちていた。
Sage Parāśara (narrating to Maitreya)
Speaker: Parasara
Teaching: Devotional
Quality: revealing
Vishnu Form: Narayana (cosmic)
Bhakti Type: Shanta (peaceful)
It marks Vishnu’s sovereign, protective presence: the iconic weapons signal divine authority over cosmic order and the power to preserve dharma.
Parāśara frames the vision as a theophany—Vishnu appearing in an unparalleled, perfectly ordered form, not merely beautiful but as concentrated divine splendour (tejas).
The verse presents Vishnu as the Supreme Reality who can manifest a perceivable form for the devas, embodying both transcendence (radiance beyond measure) and immanence (visible protector within creation).
