Chapter on the Sacred Hill Episode: Satyatapā and the Marvel of Varāha
अदर्शनं गतौ देवो सोऽपि तत्र व्यवस्थितः ॥ लब्ध्वा वरं सत्यतपा ब्रह्मभूतोऽभवद्धृदि ॥
adarśanaṁ gatau devo so 'pi tatra vyavasthitaḥ || labdhvā varaṁ satyatapā brahmabhūto 'bhavad dhṛdi ||
«Cuando la deidad se apartó de la vista, él también permaneció allí firmemente establecido. Habiendo obtenido el don, Satyatapā se volvió semejante a Brahman en su corazón.»
