चिंतयित्वा क्षणं देवः सर्वभूतैश्च भूषितः । भूतत्रासनमात्रं तु रूपं स जगृहे विभुः ॥ ८ ॥
ciṃtayitvā kṣaṇaṃ devaḥ sarvabhūtaiśca bhūṣitaḥ | bhūtatrāsanamātraṃ tu rūpaṃ sa jagṛhe vibhuḥ || 8 ||
ایک لمحہ غور کرنے کے بعد، تمام مخلوقات سے آراستہ وہ دیوتا، ہمہ گیر وِبھو، صرف جانداروں کو دہشت زدہ کرنے کے لیے ایک ہیبت ناک صورت اختیار کر گیا۔
Narada (narration within the Uttara-Bhaga mahatmya context)
Vrata: none
Rasa: {"primary_rasa":"bhayanaka","secondary_rasa":"adbhuta","emotional_journey":"From brief contemplation to a sudden, awe-tinged manifestation: the Lord assumes a fearsome form intended to terrify beings."}
It highlights the Lord’s sovereignty: He can freely assume a form suited to the situation—here, a fearsome appearance—to restore order and protect the world, while remaining the all-pervading Vibhu.
Bhakti is strengthened by trust that the Lord actively intervenes for the welfare of beings; even a terrifying divine form is an expression of compassionate protection for devotees and for dharma.
No specific Vedanga (like Vyakarana or Jyotisha) is taught directly; the practical takeaway is dharmic discernment—understanding context (desha-kala) and purpose (prayojana) behind divine actions in mahatmya narratives.
