Prelude to the Sanatkumāra Dialogue
तां सर्वानानयामास यत्र देवी व्यवस्थिताः ॥ सनत्कुमारः पूतात्मा प्रत्युवाच महीṃ प्रति
tāṃ sarvān ānayāmāsa yatra devī vyavasthitāḥ || sanat-kumāraḥ pūtātmā pratyuvāca mahīṃ prati
Los condujo a todos al lugar donde la Diosa estaba establecida. Entonces Sanatkumāra, de alma purificada, respondió a Mahī (la Tierra).
