Rahular Itihasa / M. N. Dutt · Shanti Parva Chapter 349 · Verse 59
Sanskrit Original
पाञ्चरात्रस्य कृत्स्नस्य वेत्ता तु भगवान् स्वयम्। सर्वेषु च नृपश्रेष्ठ ज्ञानेष्वेतेषु दृश्यते॥ यथागमं यथाज्ञानं निष्ठा नारायणः प्रभुः। न चैनमेवं जानन्ति तमोभूता विशाम्पते॥
The illustrious Narayana is himself the promulgator of the religion, contained in the Pancharatra Scriptures. In all these religions, O foremost of kings, it is seen that the powerful Narayana is the one sole object of exposition. According to the scriptures of these religions and the extent of knowledge they contain, Narayana is the one sole object of adoration they preach. Those persons whose vision, O king, blinded by darkness, cannot understand that Narayana is the Supreme Soul pervading the entire universe.
