Brahmā’s Puṣkara Sacrifice: Kokāmukha Tīrtha, Varāha’s Aid, and the Arrival of Gāyatrī
सर्वलोकहितात्मा यो दंष्ट्रयाभ्युज्जहारगाम् । ततः स्वस्थानमानीय पृथिवीं पृथिवीधरः
sarvalokahitātmā yo daṃṣṭrayābhyujjahāragām | tataḥ svasthānamānīya pṛthivīṃ pṛthivīdharaḥ
సర్వలోకహితస్వరూపుడైన ఆయన తన దంష్ట్రతో భూమిని పైకి ఎత్తెను. ఆపై భూమిధరుడు ఆమెను స్వస్థానమునకు తీసికొని వచ్చి మళ్లీ స్థాపించెను.
