सर्वार्थास् त्वम् अज विकल्पनाभिर् एतद् देवाद्यं जगद् अखिलं त्वम् एव विश्वम् विश्वात्मंस् त्वम् इति विकारभावहीनः सर्वस्मिन् न हि भवतो ऽस्ति किंचिद् अन्यत्
sarvārthās tvam aja vikalpanābhir etad devādyaṃ jagad akhilaṃ tvam eva viśvam viśvātmaṃs tvam iti vikārabhāvahīnaḥ sarvasmin na hi bhavato 'sti kiṃcid anyat
Engkaulah segala tujuan dan segala makna, wahai Yang Tidak Lahir. Oleh pembezaan fikiran, seluruh jagat—bermula dari para dewa—tampak beraneka; namun pada hakikatnya hanyalah Engkau. Engkaulah alam semesta; Engkaulah Ātman di dalamnya. Maka walau disebut pelbagai, Engkau tetap tanpa perubahan; kerana dalam segala sesuatu tiada apa pun selain Engkau.
Sage Parāśara (teaching Maitreya; verse within a theological praise describing Viṣṇu as the all-pervading Supreme)
