Slokam 8

The ocean in which the Earth was submerged is inhabited by crocodiles and whales.  The crocodiles and whales are agitated and scamper in fear of Varaha.  Symbolically,  the crocodiles and whales are the barriers to discovering the treasure that is submerged in the form of the Earth.

Varaha explores the depths of the ocean to recover the submerged treasure. The ocean of ignorance is vast and earth is a tiny speck, resting on the bed of the ocean.

This is very comparable to the vastness of the consciousness and inner self that is shrouded in ignorance. We have to use the Paramathma’s help in  wading through the layers and layers of ignorance and discovering the treasure of infinite tranquility, peace and knowledge within us.

May we be blessed to invoke the Paramathma’s guidance in the search for the treasure that is hidden deep within us.
