तां भूताविकृतिं दृष्ट्वा देवाः सेंद्रा भयावहाः । मनसा शरणं जग्मुर्वासुदेवं जगत्पतिम्
tāṃ bhūtāvikṛtiṃ dṛṣṭvā devāḥ seṃdrā bhayāvahāḥ | manasā śaraṇaṃ jagmurvāsudevaṃ jagatpatim
اس ہولناک بگاڑ کو دیکھ کر، اِندر سمیت دیوتا خوف زدہ ہو گئے۔ دل ہی دل میں انہوں نے واسو دیو، جگت پتی، کی پناہ لی۔
Lomaharṣaṇa (Sūta) to the sages (deduced)
Scene: Devas with Indra, frightened, close their eyes and fold hands; a subtle vision of Vāsudeva appears in their hearts/sky—calm, radiant, stabilizing the chaos.
In overwhelming crisis, even the gods practice śaraṇāgati—taking inner refuge in the Supreme Lord.
No tīrtha is specified; the verse glorifies Vāsudeva as universal refuge.
Implicitly, mental surrender (mānasa-śaraṇa) is shown; no formal rite is prescribed.
