तृतीयस्य समुद्योगं यदा चक्रे स चक्रधृक् । तदा भिन्नं द्विजश्रेष्ठा ब्रह्मांडं लघुतां गतम्
tṛtīyasya samudyogaṃ yadā cakre sa cakradhṛk | tadā bhinnaṃ dvijaśreṣṭhā brahmāṃḍaṃ laghutāṃ gatam
Khi Đấng cầm đĩa (cakra) chuẩn bị bước sải thứ ba, bấy giờ, hỡi bậc tối thượng trong hàng lưỡng sinh, quả trứng vũ trụ (brahmāṇḍa) bị xuyên thủng và như thể trở nên nhỏ lại.
Sūta
Tirtha: Trivikrama-pāda (contextual)
Type: kshetra
Listener: Ṛṣayaḥ
Scene: Trivikrama lifts for the third stride; the cosmos appears as an oval ‘egg’ shell cracking as the divine foot approaches, with stars and lokas compressed, devas astonished, sages in awe.
The divine is portrayed as limitless; cosmic boundaries themselves yield before the Lord’s stride—supporting the awe behind tirtha veneration.
The narrative supports the sanctity of Viṣṇupada-tīrtha by grounding it in the Trivikrama event.
None; it continues the cosmological origin account.
