That which is indestructible, immutable, supreme, the origin of the universe, uniform, and the supreme actor, that which is above all pairs of opposites, and inactive, has, chosing to be shown, been pleased to assume this one blessed form. This Nara and Narayana have taken birth in the race of Dharma.
यदक्षरमथाव्यक्तमीशं लोकस्य भावनम्॥ कूटस्थं कर्तृ निर्द्वन्द्वमकर्तेति च यं विदुः। व्यक्तिभावगतस्यास्य एका मूर्तिरियं शुभा॥ नरो नारायणश्चैव जातौ ,धर्मकुलोद्वहौ।
