देवादिसृष्टिकथनम् (वसिष्ठशोकः, पराशरजन्म, एकलिङ्गपूजा, रुद्रदर्शनम्)

Devanagari script

प्रसादाद्वैष्णवं चक्रे पुराणं वै पराशरः षट्प्रकारं समस्तार्थसाधकं ज्ञानसंचयम्

Transliteration

prasādādvaiṣṇavaṃ cakre purāṇaṃ vai parāśaraḥ ṣaṭprakāraṃ samastārthasādhakaṃ jñānasaṃcayam

Translation

Dengan rahmat ilahi, Parāśara benar-benar menyusun Purāṇa Vaiṣṇava—dihuraikan dalam enam ragam—sebagai himpunan pengetahuan yang membebaskan, mampu menyempurnakan seluruh tujuan hidup manusia; dan menurut pemahaman Śaiva, rahmat kitab suci itu akhirnya masak menjadi bhakti kepada Pati (Śiva), yang menanggalkan paśa daripada paśu.
