He knows that Narayana is the Supreme Soul, that He is the Supreme Lord, that He is Creator of Brahman himself. Narada recited this very ancient narrative which is perfectly consistent with the Vedas, to that assembly of Rishis crowned with ascetic success that came to the abode of Brahman. The gods Surya, having heard that narrative from those Rishis crowned with ascetic success, repeated it to the sixty-six thousands of Rishis, O king, of purified souls, that follow in his train.
परमात्मानमीशानमात्मनः प्रभवं तथा॥ ये त्वन्ये ब्रह्मसदने सिद्धसंघाः समागताः। तेभ्यस्तच्छावयामास पुराणं वेदसम्मितम्॥ तेषां सकाशात् सूर्यस्तु श्रुत्वा वै भावितात्मनाम्। आत्मानुगामिनां राजन् श्रावयामास वै ततः॥ षट् षष्टिर्हि सहस्राणि ऋषीणां भावितात्मनाम्।
