Srimad Bhagavatam — Tritiya Skandha, Shloka 31
The Slaying of Hiraṇyākṣa and the Triumph of Varāha
मैत्रेय उवाच एवं हिरण्याक्षमसह्यविक्रमं स सादयित्वा हरिरादिसूकर: । जगाम लोकं स्वमखण्डितोत्सवं समीडित: पुष्करविष्टरादिभि: ॥ ३१ ॥
maitreya uvāca evaṁ hiraṇyākṣam asahya-vikramaṁ sa sādayitvā harir ādi-sūkaraḥ jagāma lokaṁ svam akhaṇḍitotsavaṁ samīḍitaḥ puṣkara-viṣṭarādibhiḥ
弥勒耶说道：如此诛灭勇力难当的希兰尼亚克沙后，至上主哈利——原初野猪化身阿底·瓦拉哈——回到祂自有的圣境，那里庆典永不断绝。以梵天为首的诸天齐声赞颂祂。
The Lord is spoken of herewith as the origin of the boar species. As stated in the Vedānta-sūtra (1.1.2), the Absolute Truth is the origin of everything. Therefore it is to be understood that all 8,400,000 species of bodily forms originate from the Lord, who is always ādi, or the beginning. In Bhagavad-gītā Arjuna addresses the Lord as ādyam, or the original. Similarly, in the Brahma-saṁhitā the Lord is addressed as ādi-puruṣam, the original person. Indeed, in Bhagavad-gītā (10.8) the Lord Himself declares, mattaḥ sarvaṁ pravartate: “From Me everything proceeds.”
FAQs
This verse says that after defeating Hiraṇyākṣa, Hari as Ādi-Sūkara (Varāha) returned to His own realm, described as a place of uninterrupted celebration, while Brahmā and others offered praise.
Puṣkara-viṣṭara refers to Brahmā as the lotus-born (associated with the lotus seat), indicating his exalted status among those who glorify the Lord after His victory.
Remember that arrogance and violence (as exemplified by Hiraṇyākṣa) are ultimately overcome by divine order; a devotee cultivates humility and regularly glorifies the Lord, especially after receiving protection or relief.
