hṛtpuṇḍarīkasuṣire yogināṃ saṃsthitaḥ sadā vadanti sūrayaḥ santaṃ paraṃ brahmasvarūpiṇam
Ipinahahayag ng mga pantas na ang Kataas-taasan—na laging nananahan sa guwang ng lotus ng puso ng mga yogin—ay ang Mapalad na Si Śiva, na ang likas ay ang transendenteng Brahman. Siya ang Pati na nagliliwanag sa paśu sa kalooban at nagpapaluwag sa mga tali ng pāśa.
Suta Goswami (narrating the teaching to the sages of Naimisharanya)
