tam - that; abṛṁhitam - not increasing; ālokya - seeing; prajā-sargam - the creation of the living entities; prajāpatiḥ - Dakṣa, the generator of living entities; vindhya-pādān - the mountains near the Vindhya mountain range; upavrajya - going to; saḥ - he; acarat - executed; duṣkaram - very difficult; tapaḥ - austerities.
