तं सन्निरीक्ष्य भगवान् सहसोत्थितश्री- पर्यङ्कत: सकलधर्मभृतां वरिष्ठ: । आनम्य पादयुगलं शिरसा किरीट- जुष्टेन साञ्जलिरवीविशदासने स्वे ॥ १४ ॥

Als der Herr Bhagavān, der höchste Träger des Dharma, Nārada erblickte, erhob Er sich sogleich vom Lager der Göttin Śrī. Mit der gekrönten Stirn verneigte Er sich vor Nāradas Füßen, faltete die Hände und setzte den Weisen auf Seinen eigenen Sitz.
