Verse 14

¹⁴And coming again to the session of the sages who speak of Brahman, king, Bhrgu set out in full what he had himself gone through. ¹⁵Hearing it, the sages were astonished, their doubt loosed, and they put their trust in Visnu as the greater, from whom peace comes and from whom fearlessness comes; ¹⁶from whom dharma itself comes, and knowledge, and the detachment that goes with it, and the eightfold lordship, and the fame that carries away the stain of the self; ¹⁷whom they call the highest going of the sages who have laid down the rod, who are at peace, whose minds are even, who have nothing, who are good; ¹⁸whose dear form is clarity and whose chosen gods are the brahmins; whom those at peace worship with nothing asked for, and whom those of skilled understanding worship too.

¹⁹His shapes are of three kinds, raksasas and antigods and gods, sent forth by a maya that has the strands; and of them clarity is the means to that ford. ²⁰So the brahmins of the Sarasvati, for the putting away of men's doubt, went by their service at the Person's lotus feet to the going that is his. ²¹So this praise of the supreme Person, the nectar with the scent of the lotus mouth of the sage's son, which cuts the fear of becoming: a traveller who drinks it again and again with the cups of his ears leaves behind the weariness of his wandering on the road.
