Shloka 31
अन्धक-हिरण्याक्ष-प्रसङ्गः, वराहावतारः, दंष्ट्राभूषणं च
Devanagari script
ब्रह्मणश् च तथान्येषां देवानामपि लीलया विभुरङ्गविभागेन भूषितो न यदि प्रभुः
Transliteration
brahmaṇaś ca tathānyeṣāṃ devānāmapi līlayā vibhuraṅgavibhāgena bhūṣito na yadi prabhuḥ
Translation
もし遍満する主宰なる至上主が、神聖なるリーラーにおいて、梵天および他の神々の職分と働きの差別によって飾られていなかったなら、その神々自身はまったく行為する力を持たないであろう。彼らの能力は、宇宙の役割を配分する主パティよりのみ生起するからである。
