Hymn to Varāha and Pṛthivī’s Inquiry
Prelude to the Sanatkumāra Dialogue
धनुषां च पिनाकोऽसि साङ्ख्ययोगोऽसि चोत्तमः ॥ परम्परोऽसि लोकानां नारायणः परायणः ॥
dhanuṣāṃ ca pināko 'si sāṃkhyayogo 'si cottamaḥ || paramparo 'si lokānāṃ nārāyaṇaḥ parāyaṇaḥ ||
വില്ലുകളിൽ നീ തന്നെയാണ് പിനാകം; നീ തന്നെയാണ് പരമ സാംഖ്യവും യോഗവും. ലോകങ്ങളുടെ പരമ്പരാ-ക്രമത്തിന്റെ അധാരവും നീ; നീ നാരായണൻ, പരമാശ്രയം.
