Slokam 6
At this point Mandara, being unsupported except by the coil of Vasuki, around it, began to sink into the ocean. The devas found it difficult to churn with Mandara sinking. The Paramathma, assumes the role of Kurma, a giant tortoise and rests on the ocean floor with Mandara on His back.
The many forms that the Paramathma takes to support the progress and evolution of man are infinite. The slokam illustrates the extent of support provided by the Paramathma, without which Mandara will sink into the ocean. This is a figurative illustration of the support of the Paramathma without which the churning of the ocean of life will not be possible and we will be permanently locked into the cycle of births and deaths.
Let us always invoke the help of theParamathma in overcoming obstacles and transcend the ocean of life.
