नग्न-परिभाषा तथा देव-स्तोत्रपूर्वक मायामोह-उत्पत्ति
Defining ‘Nagna’ and the Devas’ Hymn Leading to Māyāmoha
प्रधानबुद्ध्यादिमयाद् अशेषाद् यद् अन्यद् अस्मात् परमं परात्मन् रूपं तवाद्यं न यद् अन्यतुल्यं तस्मै नमः कारणकारणाय
pradhānabuddhyādimayād aśeṣād yad anyad asmāt paramaṃ parātman rūpaṃ tavādyaṃ na yad anyatulyaṃ tasmai namaḥ kāraṇakāraṇāya
O höchstes Selbst! Jenseits der Gesamtheit von Pradhāna, Intellekt und allen abgeleiteten Prinzipien steht die höchste Wirklichkeit; diese uranfängliche Gestalt ist allein die Deine, ohne Gleiches. Verehrung Dir, Ursache aller Ursachen.
Sage Parāśara (teaching Maitreya; part of a cosmological/theological eulogy to the Supreme—Vishnu)
It asserts Vishnu as the ultimate source behind all secondary causes—beyond primordial matter (pradhāna) and cosmic intellect (buddhi)—making Him the supreme ground of creation and order.
By stating that the Lord’s primordial nature is “other than” and “higher than” the totality of pradhāna, buddhi, and all derived principles, Parāśara frames Vishnu as transcendent to the Sāṃkhya cosmological stack.
Vishnu is presented as the unequalled Supreme Self whose essence is not comparable to anything in creation—supporting a devotional Vedāntic reading where the highest reality is personal and sovereign.
