Shloka 2
नाग उवाच आश्षर्याणामनेकानां प्रतिष्ठा भगवान् रवि: । यतो भूता: प्रवर्तन्ते सर्वे त्रैलोक्यसम्मता:,नागने कहा--ब्रह्मन! भगवान् सूर्य तो अनेकानेक आश्वर्योके स्थान हैं; क्योंकि तीनों लोकोंमें जितने भी प्राणी हैं, वे सब उन्हींसे प्रेरित होकर अपने-अपने कार्योँमें प्रवृत्त होते हैं
nāga uvāca āścaryāṇām anekānāṁ pratiṣṭhā bhagavān raviḥ | yato bhūtāḥ pravartante sarve trailokya-sammatāḥ ||
Nāga berkata: “Wahai Brahmana, Surya yang diberkati itulah asas dan sandaran yang teguh bagi tidak terhitung keajaiban. Kerana daripadanyalah semua makhluk—yang diakui di seluruh tiga alam—digugah untuk bergerak dan menjalankan tugas masing-masing.”
