Nārada’s Account of a Former Birth and a Hymn to Nārāyaṇa
दिनादिर्यो हि देवस्य ब्रह्मणोऽव्यक्तजन्मनः । स सृष्ट्यादिः समस्तानां देवादीनां न संशयः ॥ ३.२७ ॥
dinādīr yo hi devasya brahmaṇo ’vyaktajanmanaḥ | sa sṛṣṭyādiḥ samastānāṃ devādīnāṃ na saṃśayaḥ || 3.27 ||
అవ్యక్తమునుండి జన్మించిన దేవ బ్రహ్మకు ‘దిన’ ఆది ఎవరో, ఆయనే దేవాదులనుండి ప్రారంభమయ్యే సమస్త జీవుల సృష్ట్యాది—ఇందులో సందేహం లేదు।
