brahmarṣervacanāttasya papāta na vibhurdivaḥ tataḥ prabhākaretyuktaḥ prabhuratrirmaharṣibhiḥ

Par la parole du Brahmarṣi, le puissant ne tomba pas du ciel. C’est pourquoi le vénérable Atri, seigneur parmi les sages, fut ensuite appelé par les grands ṛṣis « Prabhākara », le porteur de clarté — dont le tapas protège l’ordre cosmique soutenu par le Pati (Śiva).
