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
وہ جس کی فطرت ہی تمام جہانوں کی بھلائی ہے—اُس نے اپنے دانت (دَنت) سے زمین کو اُٹھا لیا۔ پھر زمین کے دھارک نے زمین کو اُس کے اپنے مقام پر لا کر دوبارہ قائم کر دیا۔
