Srimad-Bhagavatam: Canto 8 - Chapter 1 - Verse 30


Sanskrit:

छाया त्वधर्मोर्मिषु यैर्विसर्गोनेत्रत्रयं सत्त्वरजस्तमांसि ।साङ्ख्यात्मन: शास्त्रकृतस्तवेक्षाछन्दोमयो देव ऋषि: पुराण: ॥ ३० ॥

ITRANS:

chāyā tv adharmormiṣu yair visargonetra-trayaṁ sattva-rajas-tamāṁsisāṅkhyātmanaḥ śāstra-kṛtas tavekṣāchandomayo deva ṛṣiḥ purāṇaḥ

Translation:

O lord, your shadow is seen in irreligion, which brings about varieties of irreligious creations. The three modes of nature — goodness, passion and ignorance — are your three eyes. All the Vedic literatures, which are full of verses, are emanations from you because their compilers wrote the various scriptures after receiving your glance.

Purport:
