नारायणपरं सत्यमृतं नारायणात्मकम् । नारायणपरो धर्म: पुनरावृत्तिदुर्लभ:,सत्यके परम लक्ष्य नारायण ही हैं। ऋत नारायणका ही स्वरूप है। जिसके आचरणसे पुनर्जन्मकी प्राप्ति नहीं होती, उस निवृत्तिप्रधान धर्मके भी चरम लक्ष्य भगवान् नारायण ही हैं
Transliteration
Vaiśaṃpāyana uvāca: nārāyaṇaparaṃ satyam ṛtaṃ nārāyaṇātmakam | nārāyaṇaparo dharmaḥ punarāvṛttidurlabhaḥ ||
Translation
Vaiśaṃpāyana said: Truth finds its highest ground in Nārāyaṇa; the cosmic order (ṛta) is of Nārāyaṇa’s very nature. Even the dharma of renunciation, which makes return to rebirth difficult, has Nārāyaṇa as its supreme end.
