tam - Him; vaá¹um - the brahmacÄrÄ«; vÄmanam - dwarf; dṛṣá¹vÄ - seeing; modamÄnÄḥ - in a happy mood; mahÄ-ṛṣayaḥ - the great saintly persons; karmÄṇi - ritualistic ceremonies; kÄrayÄm Äsuḥ - performed; puraská¹›tya - keeping in front; prajÄpatim - KaÅ›yapa Muni, the PrajÄpati.
When the great sages saw the Lord as the brahmacÄrÄ«-dwarf VÄmana, they were certainly very pleased. Thus they placed before them KaÅ›yapa Muni, the PrajÄpati, and performed all the ritualistic ceremonies, such as the birthday ceremony.
According to Vedic civilization, when a child is born in the family of a brÄhmaṇa, the birthday ceremony, known as jÄta-karma, is first performed, and then other ceremonies are also gradually performed. But when this vÄmana-rÅ«pa appeared in the form of a vaá¹u, or brahmacÄrÄ«, His sacred thread ceremony was also performed immediately.
