Narada Purana — Purva Bhaga, Shloka 63
The Characteristics of Devotion to Hari
अद्यापि च मुनिश्रेष्ठ ब्रह्माद्या अपि देवताः । यत्प्रभावं न जानन्ति तं याहि शरणं मुने ॥ ६३ ॥
adyāpi ca muniśreṣṭha brahmādyā api devatāḥ | yatprabhāvaṃ na jānanti taṃ yāhi śaraṇaṃ mune || 63 ||
Ainda hoje, ó melhor dos sábios, até mesmo os deuses, começando por Brahmā, não conhecem plenamente o Seu poder. Portanto, ó muni, vai e toma refúgio n’Ele.
