Parīkṣit Confronts Kali: Dharma (Bull) and Bhūmi (Cow) at the Dawn of Kali-yuga
इयं च भूमिर्भगवता न्यासितोरुभरा सती । श्रीमद्भिस्तत्पदन्यासै: सर्वत: कृतकौतुका ॥ २६ ॥
iyaṁ ca bhūmir bhagavatā nyāsitoru-bharā satī śrīmadbhis tat-pada-nyāsaiḥ sarvataḥ kṛta-kautukā
اس زمین کا بھاری بوجھ یقیناً بھگوان نے (اور دوسروں نے بھی) کم کیا؛ جب وہ اوتار کی صورت میں موجود تھے تو اُن کے مبارک قدموں کے نشانوں سے ہر سو خیر و برکت پھیلتی تھی۔
This verse says the earth becomes auspicious and joyfully transformed by the Lord’s foot-imprints, indicating His presence purifies and sanctifies creation.
The earth is burdened by irreligion and sinful rulers; the Lord’s intervention and His sacred presence relieve that burden and restore auspiciousness.
By honoring the Lord’s feet through bhakti—hearing, chanting, and pilgrimage to His līlā-sthānas—one brings sanctity and spiritual joy into one’s surroundings.
