All the sages uttered with great respect: O unconquerable enjoyer of all sacrifices, all glories and all victories unto You! You are moving in Your form of the personified Vedas, and in the hair holes of Your body the oceans are submerged. For certain reasons [to uplift the earth] You have now assumed the form of a boar.
Purport
The Lord can assume any form He likes, and in all circumstances He is the cause of all causes. Since His form is transcendental, He is always the Supreme Personality of Godhead, as He is in the Causal Ocean in the form of Mahā-Viṣṇu. Innumerable universes generate from the holes of His bodily hairs, and thus His transcendental body is the Vedas personified. He is the enjoyer of all sacrifices, and He is the unconquerable Supreme Personality of Godhead. He is never to be misunderstood to be other than the Supreme Lord because of His assuming the form of a boar to lift the earth. That is the clear understanding of sages and great personalities like Brahmā and other residents of the higher planetary systems.

Translation
The sages said: O unconquerable Lord! O source of sacrifice! We offer respects to the boar who shakes his body made of the three Vedas, in whose hair pores the oceans merge. We offer respects to you, who have the form of a boar, the source of the universe.
The demon has been conquered by you (te jitam). O unconquerable Lord, glory to you (ajita)! Protector of sacrifices (yajña-bhāvana)! You are the cause of all sacrifices. You are the three Vedas (trayīm). O cause of all universes!

Personal Guidance
The verse insists on the Lord's specific identity — not an idea of God but a person with name, form, and intent. Vague spirituality cannot reach what only personal address can. The pivot here is Supreme Personality of Godhead.
Reflection Questions
- Where does your idea of God blur into a generic 'higher power' that asks nothing of you?
- What would change if you treated one possession this week as belonging to the Lord and on loan to you?
