Translation
Bhīṣma said: “Then the brāhmaṇa (Nārada), having gathered his mind into one-pointed concentration, stood with arms uplifted and, composed in meditation, began to chant a hymn of praise to Nārāyaṇa—the Lord who is the Self of the universe, beyond all qualities yet also the very ground of all qualities.”
