Transmission of Bhāgavata Wisdom and Brahmā’s Vision of the Supreme Lord on Ananta
चराचरौको भगवन्महीध्र- महीन्द्रबन्धुं सलिलोपगूढम् । किरीटसाहस्रहिरण्यशृङ्ग- माविर्भवत्कौस्तुभरत्नगर्भम् ॥ ३० ॥
carācarauko bhagavan-mahīdhram ahīndra-bandhuṁ salilopagūḍham kirīṭa-sāhasra-hiraṇya-śṛṅgam āvirbhavat kaustubha-ratna-garbham
Подобно великой горе, Господь стоял как обитель всех движущихся и неподвижных существ. Он — друг змеев, ибо Ананта-Шеша Его спутник и слуга. Как гора с тысячами золотых вершин, так виднелись капюшоны Ананты в золотых шлемах; и как гора, полная самоцветов, Его трансцендентное тело было украшено драгоценностями. В водах пралая Он порой являлся погружённым.
This verse describes Bhagavān manifesting from within the waters, revealing His cosmic, mountain-like form as the shelter of all beings—signifying His transcendence and His role as the source and support of creation.
The Kaustubha jewel is a distinctive mark of Viṣṇu’s supreme divinity; its mention emphasizes that the appearing form is not ordinary but the fully opulent Personality of Godhead.
Use the imagery for meditation: remember the Lord as the inner support of all life, and cultivate steadiness in bhakti by contemplating His protective presence even when He seems “hidden,” like within the waters.
