The Glory of Gokarṇa: Description of Nandikeśvara’s Boon and the Assembly of Deities on Mount Muñjavat
विधाता भगवान्विष्णुः प्रभुस्त्रिभुवनेश्वरः ॥ अभ्यधावंस्ततः सोऽथ स हि जानाति हृद्गतम् ॥
vidhātā bhagavān viṣṇuḥ prabhus tribhuvaneśvaraḥ || abhyadhāvaṃs tataḥ so 'tha sa hi jānāti hṛdgatam ||
फिर सब भगवान विष्णु के पास गए। विष्णु तीन दुनिया के मालिक हैं। वो दिल की बात जानते हैं।
