THE STORY OF THE BOAR-INCARNATION
 
भगवानेक आसेदमग्र आत्माऽऽत्मनां विभुः ।
सा वा एतस्य सन्द्रष्टुः शक्तिस्सदसदात्मिका ।
माया नाम [महाभाग] ययेदं निर्ममे विभुः ॥
In the beginning of this universe, there
was the Lord alone, the all-pervasive
soul of all beings. There was also the
mystic power of this Lord, the spectator,
the power known as Maya which is of the
form of cause and effect and with which
the all-pervading Lord created this
universe.
 
उदाप्लुतं विश्वमिदं तदाऽऽसीत्
यन्निद्रयाऽमीलितदृङ न्यमीलयत् ।
अहीन्द्रतल्पेऽधिशयान एक:
कृतक्षणः स्वात्मरतौ निरीहः ॥
