Translation
Bhishma said: Salutations to that mighty-souled One who, endowed with wisdom, became the Boar and lifted up the Earth, acting for the welfare of the three worlds. In this remembrance, Bhishma frames divine power as purposeful and protective—strength guided by insight and exercised for universal good.
