Rudra’s Hymn: Vision of Nārāyaṇa, the Emergence of the Ādityas, and the Mutual Boon of Hari and Hara
एकं भवन्तं प्रकृतेः परस्ताद् यो वेत्त्यसौ सर्वविदादिबोध्धा । गुणा न तेषु प्रसभं विभेद्या विशालमूर्तिर्हि सुसूक्ष्मरूपः ॥ ७३.२४ ॥
ekaṁ bhavantaṁ prakṛteḥ parastād yo vetty asau sarvavidādiboddhā | guṇā na teṣu prasabhaṁ vibhedyā viśālamūrtir hi susūkṣmarūpaḥ || 73.24 ||
