Bhṛgu Tests the Trimūrti; Kṛṣṇa and Arjuna Visit Mahā-Viṣṇu and Recover the Brāhmaṇa’s Sons
दर्शये द्विजसूनूंस्ते मावज्ञात्मानमात्मना । ये ते न: कीर्तिं विमलां मनुष्या: स्थापयिष्यन्ति ॥ ४५ ॥
darśaye dvija-sūnūṁs te māvajñātmānam ātmanā ye te naḥ kīrtiṁ vimalāṁ manuṣyāḥ sthāpayiṣyanti
Aku akan memperlihatkan kepadamu anak-anak Brahmana itu; maka janganlah engkau memandang hina dirimu sendiri. Orang yang kini mencela kita, merekalah yang segera akan menegakkan kemasyhuran kita yang suci tanpa noda.
