Sanskrit Original
यतः पतिः स भगवान प्रजेशानां प्रजापतिः। भावनः सर्वभूतानां सर्वात्मा नीललोहितः।।
yataḥ patiḥ sa bhagavān prajeśānāṃ prajāpatiḥ| bhāvanaḥ sarvabhūtānāṃ sarvātmā nīlalohitaḥ||
Sūta said: Since the lord is the master of the lords of subjects, since he is Prajāpati, since he is the conceiver of all living beings, since Nīlalohita is the soul of all, since Rudra resuscitates the fading and declining medicinal herbs again and again; since at the time when medicinal herbs decline, the lord is worshipped by the Devas, the leader of whom is Prajāpati and who seek fruits eagerly desired by them—(He is worshipped by offering Puroḍāśa in three Kapālas) otherwise called Three Ambakas—So the lord is called Tryambaka.
