Varaha Purana 113.56 — Adhyaya 113, Shloka 56
Hymn to Varāha and Pṛthivī’s Inquiry
Prelude to the Sanatkumāra Dialogue
जयश्च विजयश्चासि गृहेषु गृहदेवताः ॥ सर्वात्मकः सर्वगतश्चेतनो मन एव च ॥
jayaś ca vijayaś cāsi gṛheṣu gṛhadevatāḥ || sarvātmakaḥ sarvagataś cetano mana eva ca ||
ທ່ານແມ່ນ ຊະນະ ແລະ ວິຊະນະ; ໃນເຮືອນທັງຫຼາຍ ທ່ານແມ່ນເທວະຜູ້ຄຸ້ມຄອງເຮືອນ. ທ່ານເປັນສະພາບຂອງທຸກສິ່ງ ແຜ່ຊາຍທົ່ວ; ທ່ານແມ່ນຈິດຮູ້—ແລະເປັນໃຈເອງດ້ວຍ.
