Guru’s Instruction on Dream, Mind, Guṇas, and Knowing Brahman

Svapna–Manas–Guṇa–Brahma-vicāra

वराहरूपिणं देवमधृष्यममरैरपि । “वे दानव वर पाकर बल और अभिमानसे मत्त हो उठे हैं। वे मूढ़ दैत्य अव्यक्तस्वरूप भगवान्‌ विष्णुको नहीं जानते

varāharūpiṇaṃ devam adhṛṣyam amarair api |

毗湿摩说道:“他们不识那位超越一切显现的神圣主宰,纵使诸天亦不能胜之。祂示现为野猪之身——婆罗诃(Varāha)——依旧不可攻破、不可撼动;然而那些被力量与傲慢灌醉的迷妄达那婆,却终究不知祂。”

Educational Q&A

Power and pride can blind beings to the highest reality: the Lord may be beyond ordinary perception and yet decisively present. The verse warns that arrogance (mada) and delusion (moha) prevent recognition of the divine, who remains unconquerable even to the gods.

Bhīṣma describes how the Dānavas, swollen with strength and self-conceit, fail to understand the unmanifest Lord (implicitly Viṣṇu) who has taken the Varāha form. He emphasizes the Lord’s invincibility—‘unassailable even by the gods.’
