Varaha Purana 73.24: Adhyaya 73, Shloka 24
Rudra’s Hymn: Vision of Nārāyaṇa, the Emergence of the Ādityas, and the Mutual Boon of Hari and Hara
एकं भवन्तं प्रकृतेः परस्ताद् यो वेत्त्यसौ सर्वविदादिबोध्धा । गुणा न तेषु प्रसभं विभेद्या विशालमूर्तिर्हि सुसूक्ष्मरूपः ॥ ७३.२४ ॥
ekaṁ bhavantaṁ prakṛteḥ parastād yo vetty asau sarvavidādiboddhā | guṇā na teṣu prasabhaṁ vibhedyā viśālamūrtir hi susūkṣmarūpaḥ || 73.24 ||
जो तुम्हे एक मानता है, प्रकृति से परे, वो सब कुछ जान जाता है। वो दूसरों को भी समझ देता है। गुण तुम्हे अलग नहीं कर सकते, जबरदस्ती भी नहीं। तुम्हारा रूप बहुत बड़ा है, पर तुम्हारा असली स्वरूप बहुत छोटा है, जैसे सूक्ष्म।
