TRANSLATION

When the great sages and thinkers who are residents of Janaloka,
Tapoloka and Satyaloka heard the tumultuous voice of Lord Boar, which
is the all-auspicious sound of the all-merciful Lord, they chanted auspicious
chants from the three Vedas.

PURPORT

The word mdydmaya is very significant in this verse. Mayd means
mercy, specific knowledge and also illusion. Therefore Lord Boar is
everything; He is merciful, He is all knowledge, and He is illusion also.
The sound which He vibrated as the boar incarnation was answered by the
Vedic hymns of the great sages in the planets of Janaloka, Tapoloka and
Satyaloka. The highest intellectual and pious living entities live in those
planets, and when they heard the extraordinary voice of the boar, they
could understand that the specific sound was vibrated by the Lord and no
one else. Therefore they replied by praying to the Lord with Vedic hymns.
The earth planet was submerged in the mire, but on hearing the sound of
the Lord, the inhabitants of the higher planets were all jubilant because they
knew that the Lord was there to deliver the earth. Therefore Brahma and
all the sages, such as Bhrgu and Brahma’s other sons, and other learned
brahmanas, were enlivened, and they concertedly joined in praising the
Lord with the transcendental vibrations of the Vedic hymns. The most
important is the Brhan-ndradiya Purana verse Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna,
Krsna Krsna, Hare Hare/ Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare.
