The Prayers of the Personified Vedas (Śruti-stuti) and the Indescribable Absolute
श्वेतद्वीपं गतवति त्वयि द्रष्टुं तदीश्वरम् । ब्रह्मवाद: सुसंवृत्त: श्रुतयो यत्र शेरते । तत्र हायमभूत् प्रश्नस्त्वं मां यमनुपृच्छसि ॥ १० ॥
śvetadvīpaṁ gatavati tvayi draṣṭuṁ tad-īśvaram brahma-vādaḥ su-saṁvṛttaḥ śrutayo yatra śerate tatra hāyam abhūt praśnas tvaṁ māṁ yam anupṛcchasi
その時、汝は白島（シュヴェータドヴィーパ）へ赴き、宇宙の滅尽の時にヴェーダがその中に憩う至上主を拝しに行っていた。ジャナローカでは至上絶対真理の本性をめぐり活発な論議が起こり、まさに汝が今わたしに問うている同じ問いがそこで生じた。
