Hymn to Varāha and Pṛthivī’s Inquiry
Prelude to the Sanatkumāra Dialogue
जयश्च विजयश्चासि गृहेषु गृहदेवताः ॥ सर्वात्मकः सर्वगतश्चेतनो मन एव च ॥
jayaś ca vijayaś cāsi gṛheṣu gṛhadevatāḥ || sarvātmakaḥ sarvagataś cetano mana eva ca ||
ତୁମେ ଜୟ ଓ ବିଜୟ; ଗୃହଗୃହେ ତୁମେ ଗୃହଦେବତା। ତୁମେ ସର୍ବାତ୍ମକ, ସର୍ବବ୍ୟାପୀ ଚେତନା—ମନ ମଧ୍ୟ ତୁମେ।
