Manifesting Himself with thousands of hands, the Lord then appeared on the summit of Mandara Mountain, like another great mountain, and held Mandara Mountain with one hand.

Purport

To balance Mandara Mountain while it was being pulled from both sides, the Lord Himself appeared on its summit like another great mountain. Lord Brahmā, Lord Śiva and King Indra then expanded themselves and showered flowers on the Lord.

Translation
Situated in another form, like another huge mountain with a thousand hands, the Lord caught Mandara Mountain with one hand and stood on top of it. From the sky, the associates of Viṣṇu showered flowers upon him. When he saw the mountain rising up, the Lord then took action. The phrase brahma-bhavendra-mukhyair (by the main persons among Brahmā, Śiva and Indra) indicates the followers of Viṣṇu. Or it can mean the devatās were at the milk ocean and their expansions remained in the sky to shower flowers.
