Hymn to Varāha and Pṛthivī’s Inquiry
Prelude to the Sanatkumāra Dialogue
ब्रह्मपुत्रवचः श्रुत्वा पृथिवी वाक्यमब्रवीत् ॥ धरण्युवाच ॥ यद्गुह्यं स मया पृष्टो यच्च मे सम्प्रभाषितम् ॥
brahma-putra-vacaḥ śrutvā pṛthivī vākyam abravīt || dharaṇy uvāca || yad guhyaṃ sa mayā pṛṣṭo yac ca me samprabhāṣitam ||
Brahma ke bete ki baat sun ke dharti ne jawab diya. Dharti ne kaha, maine unse jo baat poochhi thi, aur jo unhone mujhe bataya, woh yeh hai.
Pṛthivī (Dharaṇī)
