त्रिविक्रमो हरिरूप्यन्तरिक्षे सर्वजातावनन्तरूपी हरिश्च / हरेर्न वर्णोस्ति न गोत्रमस्ति न जातिरीशे सर्वरूपे विचित्रे
trivikramo harirūpyantarikṣe sarvajātāvanantarūpī hariśca / harerna varṇosti na gotramasti na jātirīśe sarvarūpe vicitre
在虚空的中域,诃利以“三步遍行者”(特里维克拉玛)之形安住;诃利属于一切众生,具无尽诸相。诃利无有种姓之色(varṇa),无有族系(gotra),亦无固定生类(jāti)——主宰奇妙,能现一切形。

This verse teaches that the Supreme (Hari) transcends social and birth-based identities; devotion and realization focus on the all-pervading Lord rather than external classifications.
By calling Hari ‘anantarūpī’ and ‘sarvajātaḥ’, it states that the Lord appears as all beings and manifests infinitely, indicating omnipresence and the capacity to assume any form.
Practice seeing the divine presence in all beings, reduce discrimination based on birth or lineage, and cultivate bhakti and ethical conduct grounded in the idea of one Lord manifesting as many.
