Rahular Itihasa / M. N. Dutt · Shanti Parva Chapter 339 · Verse 90
Sanskrit Original
लोककार्याणि कृत्वा च पुनः स्वां प्रकृतिं गताः। न ह्येतद् ब्रह्मणा प्राप्तमीदृशं मम दर्शनम्॥ यत् त्वया प्राप्तमद्येह एकान्तगतबुद्धिना। एतत् ते सर्वमाख्यातं ब्रह्मन् भक्तिमतो मया॥ पुराणं च भविष्यं च सरहस्यं च सत्तम।
Having secured the good of the worlds in those forms in which I appeared, they have reentered into my own Nature. Brahman (the Creator) himself never saw me in this form of mine, which you, O Narada, have seen to-day on account of your entire devotion to me. I have now said to you, who are devoted to me wholly, everything, O Brahmana. . I have described to you my ancient appearances and future ones also, O best of inen, together with ail their mysteries.
