भीष्मस्योत्तरायणप्रतीक्षा तथा युधिष्ठिरागमनम् | Bhīṣma’s uttarāyaṇa moment and Yudhiṣṭhira’s arrival
ईश्वर उवाच पितामहादपि वर: शाश्वत: पुरुषो हरि: । कृष्णो जाम्बूनदा भासो व्यश्रे सूर्य इबोदित:
īśvara uvāca | pitāmahād api varaḥ śāśvataḥ puruṣo hariḥ | kṛṣṇo jāmbūnadābhāso vyaśre sūrya ivoditaḥ ||
自在天曰：“诸大牟尼！哈利乃永恒之至上人格，胜于祖父梵天（婆罗摩）亦复如是。彼奎师那以幽黑而润泽之光辉照耀，如精炼之阎浮那陀金；其威焰炽盛，如无云晴空中升起的太阳。”
ईश्वर उवाच
