While Brahmā was deliberating with his sons, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Viṣṇu, roared tumultuously like a great mountain.
Purport
It appears that great hills and mountains also have their roaring power because they are also living entities. The volume of the sound vibrated is in proportion to the size of the material body. While Brahmā was guessing about the appearance of the Lord’s incarnation as a boar, the Lord confirmed Brahmā’s contemplation by roaring with His gorgeous voice.

Translation
While Brahmā deliberated in this way with his sons, the Lord, master of sacrifices, large as huge mountain, roared.

Personal Guidance
Pastimes here are described as the actual means by which the Lord is known. Cold philosophy can only carry the soul so far before relationship takes over. The pivot here is Supreme Personality of Godhead.
Reflection Questions
- Which pastime of the Lord, when you sit with it, actually moves you — and which leaves you cold?
- What pastime would you want to enter, even as a tiny servant in the background?
