Commentary

|
Bhagavän’s tortoise incarnation is being described. “Not only did you draw this earth (Mandaräcala) through the waters of devastation, you also supported it upon your back.” Bhagavän is present beneath the earth in his tortoise incarnation. The earthly realm is situated like a small toy ball upon his huge back, where it has made a permanent impression. “This scar is your ornament. May you be victorious.” Jaya jagadéça hare ! The whole verse is likened to the upper lid of the jewelled casket of this refrain. |
