Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam · Text 12.8.47
Who is speaking and story frame
तस्मै नमो भगवते पुरुषाय भूम्ने
विश्वाय विश्वगुरवे परदैवताय ।
नारायणाय ऋषये च नरोत्तमाय
हंसाय संयतगिरे निगमेश्वराय ॥ ४७ ॥
tasmai namo bhagavate puruṣāya bhūmne
viśvāya viśva-gurave para-daivatāya
nārāyaṇāya ṛṣaye ca narottamāya
haṁsāya saṁyata-gire nigameśvarāya
I offer my humble obeisances to Him, the Supreme Personality of Godhead. He is the all-pervading and all-inclusive form of the universe, as well as its spiritual master. I bow down to Lord Nārāyaṇa, the supremely worshipable Deity appearing as a sage, and also to the saintly Nara, the best of human beings, who is fixed in perfect goodness, fully in control of his speech, and the propagator of the Vedic literatures.
