The Consecration (Anointing) of Indra
सर्वदैत्यविनाशार्थे भूभारहरणाय च । वासुदेवाख्यस्ते पुत्रो भविष्यामि न संशयः
sarvadaityavināśārthe bhūbhāraharaṇāya ca | vāsudevākhyaste putro bhaviṣyāmi na saṃśayaḥ
تمام دَیتّیوں کے وِناش اور زمین کا بوجھ اُتارنے کے لیے، میں تمہارا بیٹا واسو دیو نام سے بنوں گا—اس میں کوئی شک نہیں۔
Vishnu (as the future Vāsudeva/Krishna), addressing Vasudeva
Concept: Bhagavān voluntarily incarnates to protect the world and destroy adharma; divine birth is purposeful, not karmically compelled.
Application: When overwhelmed by ‘burdens,’ remember dharma is upheld by higher order; act courageously in your sphere as an instrument of restoration rather than despairing.
