Varaha Purana 3.27: Adhyaya 3, Shloka 27
Nārada’s Account of a Former Birth and a Hymn to Nārāyaṇa
दिनादिर्यो हि देवस्य ब्रह्मणोऽव्यक्तजन्मनः । स सृष्ट्यादिः समस्तानां देवादीनां न संशयः ॥ ३.२७ ॥
dinādīr yo hi devasya brahmaṇo ’vyaktajanmanaḥ | sa sṛṣṭyādiḥ samastānāṃ devādīnāṃ na saṃśayaḥ || 3.27 ||
ब्रह्मा के दिन का जो शुरू है, वही सबकी शुरू है। ब्रह्मा किसी ऐसी जगह से आया जो दिखता नहीं। उससे ही सब देवता और दूसरी चीज़ें बनी। इसमें कोई शक नहीं।
