Nāradasya Viṣṇu-stavaḥ
हृदि स्थितोऽपि यो देवो मायया मोहितात्मनाम् । न ज्ञायेत परः शुद्धस्तमस्मि शरणं गतः ॥ ३५ ॥
hṛdi sthito'pi yo devo māyayā mohitātmanām | na jñāyeta paraḥ śuddhastamasmi śaraṇaṃ gataḥ || 35 ||
แม้พระผู้เป็นเจ้าจะสถิตอยู่ในดวงใจ แต่สำหรับผู้มีจิตถูกมายาลวงย่อมไม่อาจรู้จักพระองค์—พระองค์ผู้สูงสุดและบริสุทธิ์นิรันดร์ ข้าพเจ้าขอถึงสรณะในพระองค์
