Varaha Purana 4.36: Adhyaya 4, Shloka 36
On Nārāyaṇa’s Ten Avatāras and Eightfold Manifestations, and the Account of King Aśvaśirā
किन्तु सर्वशरीरस्थः परमात्मा जगत्पतिः । स्वदेहे दृश्यते भक्त्या नैकस्थानगतस्तु सः ॥ ४.३६ ॥
kintu sarvaśarīrasthaḥ paramātmā jagatpatiḥ | svadehe dṛśyate bhaktyā naikasthānagatas tu saḥ || 4.36 ||
Jednakże Paramatman, Pan świata, przebywa we wszystkich ciałach. Przez bhakti jest postrzegany we własnym ciele; lecz nie jest ograniczony do żadnego pojedynczego miejsca.
