तस्य पुत्रः स्वयं जज्ञे रामनामाऽसुतो बली । चतुर्द्धा सोऽव्ययो विष्णुः परितुष्टो महामुने । एतदैहिकमाख्यातं पारत्रिकमतः शृणु ॥ ४५.८ ॥
tasya putraḥ svayaṃ jajñe rāmanāmā suto balī | caturddhā so'vyayo viṣṇuḥ parituṣṭo mahāmune | etadaihikam ākhyātaṃ pāratrikam ataḥ śṛṇu || 45.8 ||
Daripadanya lahir seorang putera daripada dirinya sendiri—seorang putera gagah bernama Rāma. Viṣṇu Yang Tidak Binasa, yang menzahirkan diri dalam empat rupa, berkenan hati, wahai mahamuni. Ini ialah hal yang berkaitan dengan dunia kini; sekarang dengarlah tentang hal yang berkaitan dengan alam akhirat.
