Nāga-āyatana-darśana-pratīkṣā — The Brāhmaṇa’s Request and Waiting on the Gomatī
तेडर्चयन्ति सदा देवं तै: सार्थ रमते च सः । प्रियभक्तो हि भगवान् परमात्मा द्विजप्रिय:
te 'rcayanti sadā devaṃ taiḥ sārthaṃ ramate ca saḥ | priyabhakto hi bhagavān paramātmā dvijapriyaḥ ||
Mereka senantiasa memuja Tuhan, dan Tuhan pun, bergembira, bermain dalam kebersamaan mereka. Sebab Sang Bhagavān—Diri Tertinggi—sangat menyayangi para bhakta yang penuh kasih, dan Ia juga mengasihi kaum dwija (brahmana).
