पितृयज्ञे नारायणतत्त्वम् — The Nārāyaṇa Grounding of Ancestral Offerings
तस्य ब्रद्यार्षिपुत्रस्य विस्मयं ययतु: परम् । अहो बुद्धिसमाधान वेदाभ्यासरते द्विजे
tasya bradyārṣiputrasya vismayaṃ yayatuḥ param | aho buddhisamādhāna vedābhyāsarate dvije ||
ব্রহ্মর্ষি ব্যাসের পুত্রের সেই উত্তম গতি দেখে তারা দু’জন পরম বিস্ময়ে অভিভূত হল। তারা পরস্পর বলল—“আহা! বেদাভ্যাসে নিবিষ্ট এই দ্বিজের বুদ্ধিতে কী আশ্চর্য একাগ্রতা!”
