Nīlakaṇṭha-nāmotpatti-kathana
Origin of the Epithet “Nīlakaṇṭha”
तस्यैव च प्रसादेन आदौ सिद्धत्वमागतः / पुरा तमसि चाव्यक्ते त्रैलोक्ये ग्रसिते मया
tasyaiva ca prasādena ādau siddhatvamāgataḥ / purā tamasi cāvyakte trailokye grasite mayā
By His grace alone I attained perfection at the beginning; long ago, when in unmanifest darkness the three worlds were swallowed up by me.
