अहमेवासमेवाग्रे नान्यद् यत् सदसत् परम् । पश्चादहं यदेतच्च योऽवशिष्येत सोऽस्म्यहम् ॥
aham evāsam evāgre nānyad yat sad-asat param | paścād ahaṁ yad etac ca yo'vaśiṣyeta so'smy aham ||
Translation: I alone existed prior to creation; nothing else — neither the manifest nor unmanifest — was present. I am that which exists as this cosmos, and whatever remains after dissolution, that too am I. (Chatushloki Bhagavata 2.9.33)
धर्मः प्रोज्झितकैतवोऽत्र परमो निर्मत्सराणां सतां वेद्यं वास्तवमत्र वस्तु शिवदं तापत्रयोन्मूलनम् ।
dharmaḥ projjhitakaitavo'tra paramo nirmatsarāṇāṁ satāṁ vedyaṁ vāstavam atra vastu śivadaṁ tāpatrayonmūlanam |
Translation: Completely rejecting all religious activities motivated by material desires, this Bhagavata Purana propounds the highest truth, understandable only by non-envious devotees, uprooting the three-fold miseries of life.
