Atithi-prāpti and the Brāhmaṇa’s Deliberation on Triadic Dharma (अतिथिप्राप्तिः धर्मत्रयविचारश्च)
महाभूताधिपतये रुद्राणां पतये तथा । आदित्यपतये चैव वसूनां पतये तथा,वे ही महाभूतोंके अधिपति तथा रुद्रों, आदित्यों और वसुओंके स्वामी हैं। उन्हें नमस्कार करो
mahābhūtādhipataye rudrāṇāṁ pataye tathā | ādityapataye caiva vasūnāṁ pataye tathā ||
Vyāsa said: “Offer reverence to Him who is the sovereign of the great elements, the lord of the Rudras, the lord of the Ādityas, and likewise the lord of the Vasus.”
