Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 1.12.8
Blended reading (Sanskrit + English inline)
Though the Lord extends in all directions, he arranged to become the size of the thumb simply because he became situated in the womb. Actually he saw the Lord of that size in that particular place only by the inconceivable power of the Lord. There is no other reason for this. Later one it is said:
sa eṣa loke vikhyātaḥ parīkṣid iti yat prabhuḥ | pūrvaṁ dṛṣṭam anudhyāyan parīkṣeta nareṣv iha ||
Because he constantly remembered the Lord whom he had seen in the womb and searched for him among all men, he was famous Parīkṣit in this world. SB 1.12.39
He would not look among men to find that form if it had actually only been the size of a thumb.
The form he saw was most beautiful (apīvya-darśanam). He wore a gold crown. Maulin is formed from mauli (crown) in the class of words like vrīhī. He was dark in complexion and wearing cloth shining like lightning. This indicates that his form, like a rain cloud ornamented with lightning, had suddenly appeared in the sky of Uttarā’s womb to save the young elephant Parīkṣit who was being burned by the forest fire of the brahmāstra.

- Where am I expecting the Lord too big when He might come small?
- What small form of His have I missed because I was looking for grandeur?
