Srimad Bhagavatam — Dashama Skandha, Shloka 10
The Prayers of the Personified Vedas (Śruti-stuti) and the Indescribable Absolute
श्वेतद्वीपं गतवति त्वयि द्रष्टुं तदीश्वरम् । ब्रह्मवाद: सुसंवृत्त: श्रुतयो यत्र शेरते । तत्र हायमभूत् प्रश्नस्त्वं मां यमनुपृच्छसि ॥ १० ॥
śvetadvīpaṁ gatavati tvayi draṣṭuṁ tad-īśvaram brahma-vādaḥ su-saṁvṛttaḥ śrutayo yatra śerate tatra hāyam abhūt praśnas tvaṁ māṁ yam anupṛcchasi
那时你正前往白岛（Śvetadvīpa）拜见那位至上主；在宇宙毁灭之际，诸吠陀皆在祂之中安息。阇那洛迦的圣者们遂兴起热烈辩论，探究绝对真理的本性；当时出现的正是你如今问我的同一问题。
