Vaṃśānuvārṇana and the Transition to the Fourth (Upasaṃhāra) Pada
वेदे स्मृतौ पुराणे च सर्वे ते प्रभविष्णवः / प्रजानां पतयः सर्वे भूतानां पतयः स्थिताः
vede smṛtau purāṇe ca sarve te prabhaviṣṇavaḥ / prajānāṃ patayaḥ sarve bhūtānāṃ patayaḥ sthitāḥ
In the Veda, the Smṛti, and the Purāṇas, they are all spoken of as Prabhaviṣṇu; they stand as lords of the peoples and rulers of all beings.
