tvaṃ brahmā tvaṃ hṛṣīkeśastvaṃ śakrastvaṃ hutāśanaḥ | tvaṃ yajñastvaṃ vaṣaṭkārastvamindustvaṃ divākaraḥ
تو ہی برہما ہے، تو ہی ہریشیکیش ہے؛ تو ہی شکر (اِندر) ہے، تو ہی ہُتاشن (اگنی) ہے۔ تو ہی یَجْن ہے، تو ہی وَشَٹ کار ہے؛ تو ہی اِندو (چاند) ہے، تو ہی دیواکر (سورج) ہے۔

Scene: A hymn of identifications: the Lord appears as a composite cosmic figure—four-faced Brahmā crown, Viṣṇu’s conch/discus, Indra’s vajra, Agni’s flames—while sun and moon hover as eyes; below, a yajña-kuṇḍa with the vaṣaṭ-cry visualized as a golden syllable rising in smoke.
