विशालानगरीप्रवेशः
Entry toward Viśālā and the Indra–Kṣīrodamathana Legend
यदा क्षयं गतं सर्वं तदा विष्णुर्महाबल:।अमृतं सोऽहरत्त्तूर्णं मायामास्थाय मोहिनीम्।।।।
yadā kṣayaṃ gataṃ sarvaṃ tadā viṣṇur mahābalaḥ |
amṛtaṃ so 'harat tūrṇaṃ māyām āsthāya mohinīm ||
当一切都陷入败亡之时,大力的毗湿奴以摩耶的迷幻之力化作摩希尼,迅速夺取并携走了不死甘露(阿姆利塔)。
When everything was destroyed completely, the exceedingly powerful Visnu assuming the form of Mohini a charming woman (elusive form) with the power of illusion quickly stole away the nectar.
Dharma is upheld by restoring rightful order when chaos prevails; the narrative frames divine strategy as a means to prevent adharma from seizing what would worsen imbalance.
As the conflict devastates all sides, Viṣṇu takes the form of Mohinī through Māyā and removes the amṛta from the battlefield.
Protective wisdom (rakṣaṇa-buddhi): power guided by discernment acts to preserve world-order rather than to dominate.
