Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 10, Verse 12

अर्जुन उवाच । परं ब्रह्म परं धाम पवित्रं परमं भवान् । पुरुषं शाश्वतं दिव्यमादिदेवमजं विभुम्

arjuna uvāca | paraṃ brahma paraṃ dhāma pavitraṃ paramaṃ bhavān | puruṣaṃ śāśvataṃ divyamādidevamajaṃ vibhum

Translation

The Supreme Brahman, the Supreme Light, the Supreme Purifier art Thou. All the Ṛṣis declare Thee as Eternal, Divine Puruṣa, the Primal God, Unborn, Omnipresent; so said the divine sage Nārada, as also Asita, Devala and Vyāsa; and Thou Thyself also sayest (so) to me.

— Alladi Mahadeva Sastri
