Shloka 44
Arjuna Marries Subhadrā; Kṛṣṇa Honors Two Devotees in Mithilā (Śrutadeva and Bahulāśva)
श्रुतदेव उवाच नाद्य नो दर्शनं प्राप्त: परं परमपूरुष: । यर्हीदं शक्तिभि: सृष्ट्वा प्रविष्टो ह्यात्मसत्तया ॥ ४४ ॥
śrutadeva uvāca nādya no darśanaṁ prāptaḥ paraṁ parama-pūruṣaḥ yarhīdaṁ śaktibhiḥ sṛṣṭvā praviṣṭo hy ātma-sattayā
Śrutadeva disse: Não é que apenas hoje tenhamos obtido a visão do Purusha supremo; na verdade, desde que Ele criou este universo com Suas energias e depois nele entrou com Sua existência transcendental, desde então temos estado em Sua companhia.
