वाराहावतारः (भूम्युद्धारः) — Varāha, the Raising of the Earth and the Recommencement of Creation
ज्ञानस्वरूपम् अखिलं जगद् एतद् अबुद्धयः अर्थस्वरूपं पश्यन्तो भ्राम्यन्ते मोहसंप्लवे
jñānasvarūpam akhilaṃ jagad etad abuddhayaḥ arthasvarūpaṃ paśyanto bhrāmyante mohasaṃplave
یہ سارا جہان حقیقت میں شعور و علم کی ہی صورت ہے؛ مگر نادان لوگ اسے محض اشیاء کی صورت سمجھ کر دیکھتے ہیں اور فریب کے سیلاب میں بھٹکتے رہتے ہیں۔
Sage Parāśara (teaching Maitreya in the Vishnu Purana’s main dialogue frame)
It frames the cosmos as grounded in conscious reality rather than independent materiality, urging the reader toward right knowledge that sees all as dependent on the Supreme.
He attributes भ्रम to abuddhi—lack of discernment—by which one mistakes the world’s basis and treats it as merely ‘objecthood’ (artha-svarūpa), falling into moha.
The verse supports the Purana’s stance that ultimate reality is one supreme ground (identified with Vishnu), while mistaken perception of separateness fuels bondage and confusion.
