The Greatness of Stutasvāmi: Varāha’s Disclosure of the Bhūtagiri Sacred Landscape and Its Ethical Discipline
श्रीवराह उवाच ॥ अहं नारायणो देवः सर्वधर्मव्यपाश्रयः ॥ मात्सर्यं चैव मे नास्ति तेनाहं परमः प्रभुः
śrīvarāha uvāca || ahaṁ nārāyaṇo devaḥ sarvadharmavyapāśrayaḥ || mātsaryaṁ caiva me nāsti tenāhaṁ paramaḥ prabhuḥ
श्री वराह ने कहा, मैं नारायण हूँ, मैं ही भगवान हूँ। सारे धरम मेरे सहारे हैं। मेरे अंदर जलन बिल्कुल नहीं है, इसलिए मैं सबसे बड़ा प्रभु हूँ।
