Sanskrit Original
भक्तैस्तथा चन्द्रमसि भत्तया वन्द्यस्तु नामभिः। एवं यो वेत्ति तं देवं तनुभिर्नामभिश्च ह।।
bhaktaistathā candramasi bhattayā vandyastu nāmabhiḥ| evaṃ yo vetti taṃ devaṃ tanubhirnāmabhiśca ha||
Sūta replied: The lord is to be saluted and bowed to in those bodies with the respective names for each body. He should be saluted by devotees in the sun, the waters, the Earth, the wind, the fire, the Ether, the initiated one as well as the moon. He should be honoured with great devotion along with the names. He who knows that lord thus with the bodies and names acquires progeny and attains the Sāyujya (Identity) of Lord Bhava. Thus the esoteric fame of Bhīma has been recounted to you.
