Shloka 78
Hymn of Victory: Varāha, the Slaying of Hiraṇyākṣa, and the Praise of Viṣṇu
तस्यां न्यस्य स्वसत्वं च स चकार तदाचलाम् । ततः पश्चात्स संलग्नो दैत्यराट्समुपस्थितः
tasyāṃ nyasya svasatvaṃ ca sa cakāra tadācalām | tataḥ paścātsa saṃlagno daityarāṭsamupasthitaḥ
അവളിൽ തന്റെ സത്ത്വം/ശക്തി ന്യസിച്ച് അവളെ പർവ്വതംപോലെ അചലമാക്കി. തുടർന്ന് ദൈത്യരാജാവ് മുന്നോട്ട് വന്ന് ഏറ്റുമുട്ടലിൽ ഏർപ്പെട്ടു.
Unspecified in the provided excerpt (context needed from Adhyaya 75 to identify the dialogue frame).
Concept: The divine can stabilize the shaken world by infusing śakti/tejas; preservation (sthiti) precedes the confrontation with adharma.
Application: When circumstances become unstable, first establish inner steadiness (discipline, clarity, prayer) before engaging conflict; act from centered strength rather than reactivity.

FAQs
The verse refers generally to a 'king of the Daityas' (a leader among the Daitya clan). The specific name cannot be confirmed from this single line without the surrounding verses of Adhyaya 75.
It suggests an act of empowerment or infusion—transferring one’s potency/energy into another being—resulting here in making her 'immovable' (acalā), i.e., stabilized or fixed like a mountain.
It marks a transition from an act of stabilization/immobilization to the arrival and engagement of a Daitya leader, signaling the onset of conflict typical of creation-cycle myth narratives.
