Brahmacarya-Upāya: Jñāna, Śauca, and the Mind’s Role in Desire (शान्ति पर्व, अध्याय २०७)
आदित्यानदितिर्ऊज्ञेि देवश्रेष्ठानू महाबलान् | तेषां विष्णुर्वामनो5भूद् गोविन्दश्वा भवत् प्रभु:
ādityān aditir ūje devāśreṣṭhān mahābalān | teṣāṃ viṣṇur vāmano 'bhūd govindaś ca bhavat prabhuḥ ||
毗湿摩说道：阿底提凭借其神圣威力，诞生了强大的阿底提耶诸神——为众天之最胜者。在这些阿底提耶之中，遍一切处的毗湿奴亲自以侏儒仙（婆摩那）之形示现；他即是瞿文达，至上的主宰。

Educational Q&A
The supreme Lord may manifest in a seemingly small or humble form (Vāmana) while remaining all-pervading and sovereign (Govinda/Prabhu). Ethical strength lies in righteous purpose and divine order, not merely external magnitude.
Bhīṣma describes Aditi giving birth to the powerful Ādityas and notes that among them Viṣṇu manifested as Vāmana, identifying him as Govinda, the Lord—linking the Āditya lineage with the Vāmana avatāra tradition.
