Prelude to the Sanatkumāra Dialogue
साङ्गस्त्वं विद्युतिनां च वैद्युतानां महाद्युतिः ॥ युगे मन्वन्तरे चापि वृक्षाणां च वनस्पतिः ॥
sāṅgas tvaṃ vidyutināṃ ca vaidyutānāṃ mahādyutiḥ || yuge manvantare cāpi vṛkṣāṇāṃ ca vanaspatiḥ ||

Pṛthivī (default, hymn-voice addressing Varāha/Viṣṇu in dialogue frame)
