उद्धृता मत्स्यरूपेण वेदा उदधिमध्यतः । कूर्मरूपी तथा भूत्वा क्षीरोदार्णवमंथनम्
uddhṛtā matsyarūpeṇa vedā udadhimadhyataḥ | kūrmarūpī tathā bhūtvā kṣīrodārṇavamaṃthanam
मत्स्यरूपाने तू समुद्राच्या मध्यातून वेदांचा उद्धार केला; आणि कूर्मरूप होऊन क्षीरसागरमंथन तू धारण केलेस।
Devas (continuing the hymn)
Tirtha: Prabhāsa-kṣetra
Type: kshetra
Listener: Jagannātha (Viṣṇu/Nārāyaṇa)
Scene: Two linked tableaux: Matsya diving into the ocean depths to retrieve the Vedas; Kūrma bearing Mount Mandara on his back as Devas and Asuras churn the Milk-Ocean with Vāsuki as rope, treasures emerging.
Revelation (Veda) and cosmic order are preserved by divine care; the Lord becomes the support when the world needs a foundation.
Prabhāsakṣetra, through a hymn that magnifies the Lord whose presence sanctifies the kṣetra.
None explicitly; the verse encourages avatāra-smaraṇa (remembrance of incarnations) as devotional practice.
