Translation

The Lord appeared in His original form, with ornaments and weapons in His hands. Although this ever-existing form is not visible in the material world, He nonetheless appeared in this form. Then, in the presence of His father and mother, He assumed the form of Vāmana, a brāhmaṇa-dwarf, a brahmacārī, just like a theatrical actor.

यत् तद् वपुर्भाति विभूषणायुधै— रव्यक्तचिद् व्यक्तमधारयद्धरि:। बभूव तेनैव स वामनो वटु: सम्पश्यतोर्दिव्यगतिर्यथा नट:॥ १२

हिन्दी टीका-पाठ

परीक्षित्! भगवान् स्वयं अव्यक्त एवं चित्स्वरूप हैं। उन्होंने जो परम कान्तिमय आभूषण एवं आयुधोंसे युक्त वह शरीर ग्रहण किया था, उसी शरीरसे, कश्यप और अदितिके देखते-देखते वामन ब्रह्मचारीका रूप धारण कर लिया—ठीक वैसे ही, जैसे नट अपना वेष बदल ले। क्यों न हो, भगवान् की लीला तो अद्भुत है ही॥ १२॥

स्रोत-खंड सीमा · यह हिन्दी अंश गीता प्रेस डिजिटल पाठ में इस दृश्य श्लोक-इकाई के बाद आता है; इसे स्वतः एक-से-एक टीका या संस्करण-समानता नहीं माना गया है।
