ब्रह्मनारायणस्तवः — शिवस्य प्रभवत्व-प्रतिपादनम्
अप्रसंख्येयतत्त्वस्य यथा विद्मः स्वशक्तितः कीर्तितं तव माहात्म्यम् अपारस्य महात्मनः
aprasaṃkhyeyatattvasya yathā vidmaḥ svaśaktitaḥ kīrtitaṃ tava māhātmyam apārasya mahātmanaḥ
O great-souled Lord, whose true principle (tattva) is beyond all reckoning and whose nature is without limit—only so far as we can know by our own limited power have we proclaimed Your greatness, O boundless Mahātman.
Suta Goswami (narrating the Purana; voice of the tradition praising Shiva’s ananta-mahima)
