Translation (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)

While the descendants of Bhṛgu speculated in the this way, the Supreme Lord, holding in his hands a rod, umbrella and a pot full of water, entered the arena of the horse sacrifice. Just as the priests speculated, so the descendents of Bhṛgu (other brāhmaṇas) speculated about Vāmanadeva. Hayamedha-vāṭam means the pavilion for the horse sacrifice.
