drstah—just seen; angustha—thumb; sirah—tip; matrah—only; ksanat—
immediately; ganda-sila—large stone; samah—like; api svit—whether;
bhagavan—the Personality of Godhead; esah—this; yajiah—Visnu; me—my;

TRANSLATION
First of all this boar was seen no bigger than the tip of a thumb, and
within a moment He was as large as a stone. My mind is perturbed. Is He
the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Visnu?
PURPORT
Since Brahma is the supermost person in the universe and he had never
before experienced such a form, he could guess that the wonderful appear-
ance of the boar was an incarnation of Visnu. The uncommon features
symptomatic of the incarnation of Godhead bewilder even the mind of
Brahma.
