इह चैवागतस्तेन विसृष्ट: परमात्मना । एवं मे भगवान् देव: स्वयमाख्यातवान् हरि: । आसिष्ये तत्परो भूत्वा युवाभ्यां सह नित्यश:,यहाँ भी मैं उन्हीं परमात्माके भेजनेसे आया हूँ। स्वयं भगवान् श्रीहरिने मुझसे ऐसा कहा था। अब मैं उन्हींकी आराधनामें तत्पर हो आप दोनोंके साथ यहाँ नित्य निवास करूँगा
iha caivāgatastena visṛṣṭaḥ paramātmanā | evaṃ me bhagavān devaḥ svayam ākhyātavān hariḥ | āsiṣye tatparo bhūtvā yuvābhyāṃ saha nityaśaḥ ||
“Aku juga datang ke sini, diutus oleh Diri Tertinggi itu. Demikianlah Tuhan yang mulia, Hari, sendiri menyatakannya kepadaku. Maka, dengan sepenuh tumpuan dalam pemujaan kepada-Nya, aku akan tinggal di sini senantiasa bersama kamu berdua.”

Educational Q&A
