2.5.15

nārāyaṇaparā vedā devā nārāyaṇāṅgajāḥ /
nārāyaṇaparā lokā nārāyaṇaparā makhāḥ //

15. The Vedas have Narayana for their cause; the gods have sprung from the limbs of Narayana; the worlds such as Swarga are Narayana (i.e., are the causes of his Bliss); (all) the sacrificial acts tend towards (are intended to propitiate) Narayana.
