the Vaiṣṇava Creation Narrative
युगे युगे सर्वगोऽयं वेदान्ते पुरुषो ह्यसौ । न हीनबुद्ध्या वक्तव्यो मनुष्योऽयं कदाचन ॥ ३१.२० ॥
yuge yuge sarvago ’yaṃ vedānte puruṣo hy asau | na hīnabuddhyā vaktavyo manuṣyo ’yaṃ kadācana || 31.20 ||
ในทุกยุคสมัย บุรุษผู้นี้แผ่ซ่านทั่วสรรพสิ่ง; ในเวทานตะก็สอนว่าเป็นปรุษะสูงสุด. ด้วยความเข้าใจต่ำ อย่าได้กล่าวถึงพระองค์ว่าเป็นเพียงมนุษย์เลย.
