haris tāmś ca dvijottamān
SYNONYMS
brahmānam — unto Brahmā; harshayām āsa — enlivened; harih — the Personality of Godhead; tān — all of them; ca — also; dvija-uttamān — highly elevated brāhmanas; sva-garjitena — by His uncommon voice; kakubhah — all directions; pratisvanayatā — which echoed; vibhuh — the omnipotent.
TRANSLATION
The omnipotent Supreme Personality of Godhead enlivened Brahmā and the other highly elevated brāhmanas by again roaring with His uncommon voice, which echoed in all directions.
PURPORT
Brahmā and other enlightened brāhmanas who know the Supreme Personality of Godhead are enlivened by the appearance of the Lord in any of His multi-incarnations. The appearance of the wonderful and gigantic incarnation of Vishnu as the mountainlike boar did not fill them with any kind of fear, although the Lord's resounding voice was tumultuous and echoed horribly in all directions as an open threat to all demons who might challenge His omnipotency.
