Sri Dasam Granth Sahib Verse
ਇਸੋ ਕਉਣ ਬੀਯੋ ਧਰੇ ਭਾਰੁ ਪਬੰ ॥
इसो कउण बीयो धरे भारु पबं ॥
ਉਠੇ ਕਾਪ ਬੀਰੰ ਦਿਤ੍ਯਾਦਿਤ੍ਯ ਸਬੰ ॥
Now they reflected on this idea as to who can be the mighty hero, who can endure the load of the mountain (because a base was required for the purpose)? Hearing this Ditya, Aditya etc., the heroes shuddered, faltering in absurd prattle.
उठे कांप बीरं दि्तयादि्तय स्बं ॥
ਤਬੈ ਆਪ ਹੀ ਬਿਸਨ ਮੰਤ੍ਰੰ ਬਿਚਾਰਿਯੋ ॥
तबै आप ही बिसन मंत्रं बिचारयो ॥
ਤਰੇ ਪਰਬਤੰ ਕਛਪੰ ਰੂਪ ਧਾਰਿਯੋ ॥੫॥
Then observing this difficulty of both the gods and demons, Vishnu himself thought about it and transforming himself in the form of Kachh (tortoise), seated himself at the base of the mountain.5.
तरे परबतं क्छपं रूप धारयो ॥५॥
