The Origin Account of Saptamūrti Svara and the Emergence of Saṃbhūti through Vibhūti
एवं कृते शरीरं तु ददर्श स पुनः प्रभुः । स्वकीयमेवाकाश्यन्तः पितरं नृपसत्तम ॥ ५३.२२ ॥
evaṃ kṛte śarīraṃ tu dadarśa sa punaḥ prabhuḥ | svakīyam evākāśy antaḥ pitaraṃ nṛpasattama || 53.22 ||
जब यह सब हो गया, तो भगवान ने फिर से शरीर देखा। आसमान में उसने अपने बाप को देखा, राजा लोगों में सबसे बड़े।
