The visva Roopam of this VirAD Purushan became manifested at the beginning<br />
of creation. I know this glorious form of the Lord with the radiance of the Sun<br />
and which is on the opposite shore of the darkness of nescience (Tamas). One,<br />
who knows this Purushan in this way, reaches immortality and there is no other<br />
path for Moksham.<br />
