Varaha Purana 69.26: Adhyaya 69, Shloka 26
Agastya’s Vision of Varuṇa as Nārāyaṇa in Ilāvṛta
दृष्टं मत्कमिदं देवैर्भुवनं यन्न दृश्यते । त्वत्प्रियार्थं मया लोको दर्शितः स द्विजोत्तम ॥ ६९.२६ ॥
dṛṣṭaṃ matkam idaṃ devair bhuvanaṃ yan na dṛśyate | tvatpriyārthaṃ mayā loko darśitaḥ sa dvijottama || 69.26 ||
यह दुनिया मेरी है। देवता लोग इस्से देख चुके हैं, लेकिन नॉर्मल में यह दिखती नहीं। मैं तुम्हारे लिए यह दुनिया दिखाया। तुम बहुत बड़े पंडित हो, इसलिए मैंने तुम्हे यह सब दिखा दिया।
