You alone are Viṣṇu, Brahmā, and eulogised by them; you are the great lord (pareśvara), the sages Sanaka etc. You are Nārada the great saint. You alone are the lord of all the worlds, the soul of the universe. You are converging in everything and different from everything; you alone are greater than Prakṛti. [...]”.
