The Hierarchy of the Trimūrti and the Manifestation of the Goddess Trikalā
एवमुक्त्वा स्वयं ब्रह्मा वीक्षां चक्रे पिनाकिनम् । नारायणं च मनसा सस्मार परमेश्वरम् । ततो नारायणो देवो द्वाभ्यां मध्ये व्यवस्थितः ॥
evam uktvā svayaṁ brahmā vīkṣāṁ cakre pinākinam | nārāyaṇaṁ ca manasā sasmāra parameśvaram | tato nārāyaṇo devo dvābhyāṁ madhye vyavasthitaḥ ||
यह कह के ब्रह्मा ने शिव की तरफ देखा। उसने अपने मन में नारायण को याद किया। फिर नारायण उन दोनों के बीच में आ गया।
