त्वं हि लोकपतिर्देव न त्वां जानाति कश्चन । अहं ते वै विशालाक्ष भूतपूर्वपरिग्रहः
tvaṃ hi lokapatirdeva na tvāṃ jānāti kaścana | ahaṃ te vai viśālākṣa bhūtapūrvaparigrahaḥ
हे देव! आपणच लोकांचे स्वामी आहात; आपले खरे स्वरूप कोणालाही पूर्णपणे कळत नाही। हे विशालाक्ष! मी आपलाच—पूर्वापार स्वीकारलेला आपला सेवक आहे।
Brahmā (pitāmaha), contextually addressing Viṣṇu
Tirtha: Ayodhyā (Sarayū-tīra)
Type: kshetra
Listener: Pilgrimage audience (not explicit)
Scene: Brahmā stands with folded hands before Rāma, eyes lowered in humility; devas behind him. Rāma remains serene, wide-eyed, radiating quiet authority; the river glimmers nearby.
God’s true greatness is beyond ordinary knowing; the devotee’s right response is humility and surrender.
Ayodhyā is the overarching sacred geography of this section (Ayodhyāmāhātmya).
None directly; the verse emphasizes theological praise and self-offering to the Lord.
