Description of Hiraṇyapura and the Nivātakavacas
अण्डमेतज्जले न्यस्तं दीप्पमानमिव श्रिया । आ प्रजानां निसर्गाद् वै नोद्धिद्यति न सर्पति
aṇḍam etaj jale nyastaṃ dīptamānam iva śriyā | ā prajānāṃ nisargād vai noddhidyati na sarpati ||
এই ডিমটি জলে স্থাপিত, যেন শ্রীতে দীপ্তিমান। সৃষ্টির আদিকাল থেকে আজ পর্যন্ত এটি না ফেটে বেরিয়েছে, না নিজের স্থান থেকে সরে গেছে।

Nārada describes a remarkable object: an egg placed in water, glowing with splendor, which has remained intact and motionless since the beginning of the creation of beings.
