एकान्तिधर्म-प्रश्नः (Inquiry into Ekāntin Dharma) / The Origin and Practice of Single-Pointed Nārāyaṇa-Centered Discipline
उस शास्त्रके आरम्भमें ही ३>कार स्वरका प्रयोग किया गया है। ऋषियोंने सबसे पहले जहाँ उस शास्त्रको सुनाया, वहाँ वे करूणामय भगवान् विराजमान् थे ।।
tataḥ prasanno bhagavān anirdiṣṭa-śarīra-gaḥ | ṛṣīn uvāca tān sarvān adṛśyaḥ puruṣottamaḥ ||
随后，吉祥的主——安住于不可名状之身——垂恩施惠。虽仍不可见，那至上之人、普鲁沙奥塔玛却对诸圣仙一一开示。此段以神圣慈悲为启示之源：教法以圣音“唵”为始，而超越凡常感知的主，为利众生而引导诸仙。

Educational Q&A
Sacred knowledge is presented as divine revelation grounded in compassion: the Lord, though beyond description and ordinary visibility, initiates and authorizes the śāstra (signaled by the opening Praṇava, Oṃ) and instructs the sages for the moral and spiritual uplift of beings.
Bhīṣma recounts that, after the sages first heard the teaching, the Supreme Lord became pleased and—remaining unseen—spoke to them. The scene emphasizes the Lord’s transcendence (indescribable form, invisibility) alongside his active guidance of the ṛṣis.
