Nāga-āyatana-darśana-pratīkṣā — The Brāhmaṇa’s Request and Waiting on the Gomatī
तेडर्चयन्ति सदा देवं तै: सार्थ रमते च सः । प्रियभक्तो हि भगवान् परमात्मा द्विजप्रिय:
te 'rcayanti sadā devaṃ taiḥ sārthaṃ ramate ca saḥ | priyabhakto hi bhagavān paramātmā dvijapriyaḥ ||
Nārada dit : «Ils vénèrent sans cesse le Seigneur, et le Seigneur, ravi, se divertit en leur compagnie. Car le Bienheureux—le Soi suprême—chérît tout particulièrement les dévots aimants, et Il est aussi l’ami des “deux-fois-nés” (les brahmanes).»
