[Advaita-l] Looking for the source of a passage

[Venkatraghavan S]

Namaste Subbuji,
I was going to respond saying that it was from the paippalAda samhitA when
I saw your email. Thanks for the complete reference and the link to the
entire sUkta - it is a beautiful description of vishvarUpa darshana /
sarvAtma bhAva.

नमः ककुभाय निषङ्गिणे स्तेनानां पतये नमो नमो निषङ्गिण इषुधिमते तस्कराणां पतये
नमो नमो वञ्चते परिवञ्चते स्तायूनां पतये नमो नमो निचेरवे परिचरायारण्यानां
पतये नमो नमः सृकाविभ्यो जिघासद्भ्यो मुष्णतां पतये नमो नमोऽसिमद्भ्यो नक्तं
चरद्भ्यः प्रकृन्तानां पतये नमो नमः

Regards,
Venkatraghavan
