नरनारायणावेतौ पुराणावृषिसत्तमौ । अनियम्यौ नियन्तारावेतौ तस्मात् परंतपौ
nara-nārāyaṇāv etau purāṇāv ṛṣi-sattamau | aniyamyau niyantārāv etau tasmāt paraṃtapau ||
সঞ্জয়ে ক’লে—এই দুজনেই প্ৰাচীন ঋষিশ্ৰেষ্ঠ নৰ আৰু নাৰায়ণ। এঁহতৰ ওপৰত কাৰো নিয়ন্ত্ৰণ নচলে; বৰং এঁহতেই সকলোৰে নিয়ন্তা। সেয়ে এঁহত শত্রুক দগ্ধ কৰি দমন কৰিবলৈ সক্ষম পৰন্তপ।
