Shloka 25
त्वामष्टधा कल्पयित्वा यज्ञवाहमकल्पयन् । त्वया विश्वमिदं सृष्टं वदन्ति परमर्षय:
tvām aṣṭadhā kalpayitvā yajñavāham akalpayan | tvayā viśvam idaṁ sṛṣṭaṁ vadanti paramarṣayaḥ ||
Dengan membayangkan engkau dalam lapan rupa, orang bijaksana telah menegakkan engkau sebagai pembawa dan wahana korban suci (yajña). Para resi tertinggi menyatakan bahawa seluruh alam semesta ini terbit olehmu.

Educational Q&A
The verse presents a Vedic-theological vision: the divine is understood in an eightfold manifestation and is identified as the sustaining power of yajña (sacrificial order) and as the ultimate creator of the cosmos.
Mandapāla addresses a divine principle (implicitly Agni/the sacrificial fire as cosmic power), praising it as the yajña-bearer conceived in eight forms and affirming, on the authority of the highest seers, that the whole universe originates from it.
