Shloka 2
नाग उवाच आश्षर्याणामनेकानां प्रतिष्ठा भगवान् रवि: । यतो भूता: प्रवर्तन्ते सर्वे त्रैलोक्यसम्मता:
nāga uvāca āścaryāṇām anekānāṁ pratiṣṭhā bhagavān raviḥ | yato bhūtāḥ pravartante sarve trailokya-sammatāḥ ||
Nāga berkata: “Wahai Brahmana, Sang Surya yang mulia adalah landasan dan penopang tetap bagi tak terhitung keajaiban. Dari dialah semua makhluk—yang diakui di tiga dunia—tergerak dan menjalankan tugasnya masing-masing.”
