Nārada’s Hymn to Viṣṇu
Nāradasya Viṣṇu-stavaḥ
यतो भिन्नमिदं सर्वं समुद्भूतं स्थितं च वै । यस्मिन्नेष्यति पश्चाच्च तमस्मि शरणं गतः ॥ ३३ ॥
yato bhinnamidaṃ sarvaṃ samudbhūtaṃ sthitaṃ ca vai | yasminneṣyati paścācca tamasmi śaraṇaṃ gataḥ || 33 ||
ഏതിൽ നിന്നാണ് ഈ സമസ്ത വ്യത്യസ്തമായ ജഗത്ത് ഉദ്ഭവിച്ചത്, ഏതിൽ അത് നിലകൊള്ളുന്നു, ഒടുവിൽ ഏതിലേക്കാണ് ലയിക്കുന്നത്—അവനിൽ ഞാൻ ശരണം പ്രാപിച്ചിരിക്കുന്നു.
