yasmādaṇutaraṃ nāsti yasmānnāsti bṛhattaram /
yena viśvamidaṃ vyāptamajena jagadādinā //

The birds spoke:
“Having paid adoration to Viṣṇu, the lord of the gods, the pre-eminent, the universal soul, the immeasurable, the eternal, and the changeless; to him who subsists in four forms, possessed of the three qualities, and devoid of qualities, the most choice, the most venerable, the most excellent, and the immortal; to him than whom there is nothing more minute, than whom there is nothing more immense, by whom—the unborn one, the beginning of the worlds—this universe is permeated,—this universe which, characterized by appearance and disappearance, by visibility and invisibility, has, men say, been created and also been destroyed in the end: and having paid adoration with profound meditation to Brahmā, the creator, who purifies the three worlds with his mouths as he utters the Ṛc and Sāma hymns: also having prostrated ourselves before the lord, conquered by one of whose arrows the bands of the Asuras do not interrupt the sacrifices of the sacrificers: we will declare the whole doctrine of Vyāsa, who was wonderful in his actions, by whom, in delivering the Mahābhārata, justice and the other virtues were made manifest.
