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.
Srimad Bhagavata Purana
श्रीमद्भागवतमहापुराणम्
मूल श्लोकः
तस्मै नमो भगवते पुरुषाय भूम्ने विश्वाय विश्वगुरवे परदैवतायै । नारायणाय ऋषये च नरोत्तमाय हंसाय संयतगिरे निगमेश्वराय
tasmai namo bhagavate puruṣāya bhūmne viśvāya viśvagurave paradaivatāyai | nārāyaṇāya ṛṣaye ca narottamāya haṃsāya saṃyatagire nigameśvarāya
