Brahmā’s Yogic Vision of Sadyōjāta in the Śvetalohita Kalpa

Devanagari script

तस्माद्विश्वेश्वरं देवं ये प्रपद्यन्ति वै द्विजाः प्राणायामपरा भूत्वा ब्रह्मतत्परमानसाः

Transliteration

tasmādviśveśvaraṃ devaṃ ye prapadyanti vai dvijāḥ prāṇāyāmaparā bhūtvā brahmatatparamānasāḥ

Translation

Kaya nga, ang mga dvija na sumisilong sa Panginoong Viśveśvara—Diyos ng sansinukob—na nagiging masigasig sa prāṇāyāma at itinatatag ang isip sa Kataas-taasang Brahman, ay tumutungo kay Pati (Śiva) bilang tiyak na paraan upang lumuwag ang pāśa, ang gapos na bumibigkis sa pashu, ang indibidwal na kaluluwa.
