त्वमादिदेवः पुरुषः पुराणस्- त्वमस्य विश्वस्य परं निधानम् | वेत्तासि वेद्यं च परं च धाम त्वया ततं विश्वमनन्तरूप
tvamādidevaḥ puruṣaḥ purāṇasa- tvamasya viśvasya paraṃ nidhānam . vettāsi vedyaṃ ca paraṃ ca dhāma tvayā tataṃ viśvamanantarūpa
您是原始之神，古老之原人；您是此宇宙的至高依歸。您是知者，亦是所知，更是至高居所。無限形相者啊，宇宙由您遍佈！
You are the primal Deity, the ancient Person; You are the supreme Resort of this world. You are the knower as also the object of knowledge, and the supreme Abode. O You of infinite forms, the Universe is pervaded by You!
原始之神（Primal God），因為主是宇宙的創造者。原人（Puruṣa），因為主居於身體（Puri Sayanat）。依歸（Nidhaanam），指世界在大洪水或宇宙毀滅時所依止之處。陶罐由黏土而生，亦歸於黏土。同樣地，世界由主而生，亦在主中溶解或歸隱。因此，主是世界的物質因。所以，祂是原始之神，也是至高庇護所。知者（Vetta），知曉一切可知之事。由於主是全知者，祂知曉世間萬物，祂是此世界的工具因或有效因。至高居所（Param Dhama），毗濕奴的至高居所。正如繩子（疊加之蛇的基質）遍佈蛇身，梵天或毗濕奴亦透過其存在-知識-至樂的絕對本性遍佈整個宇宙。此外——
Primal God? because the Lord is the creator of the universe.Purusha? because the Lord lies in the body (Puri Sayanat).Nidhaanam That in which the world rests during the great deluge or cosmic dissolution.The pot comes out of the clay and gets merged in clay. Even so the world has come out of the Lord and gets dissolved or involved in the Lord. So the Lord is the material cause of the world. Therefore? He is the primal God and the supreme refuge also.Vetta Knower of the knowable things. As the Lord is omniscient? He knows all about the world? and He is the instrumental or the efficient cause of this world.Param Dhama Supreme Abode of Vishnu. Just as the rope (the substratum for the superimposed snake) pervades the snake? so also Brahman or Vishnu through His Nature as ExistenceKnowledgeBliss Absolute pervades the whole universe.Moreover --
