"Then, having performed another austerity, twice as great again, greater still — he filled the space between heaven and earth with his radiance. He, by that austerity, O dear one, when he became Brahman, then beheld the lord of the universe, the source, the master of all the world, exceedingly hard to see, the Lord hard to see even for all the gods, smaller than the smallest and greater than the great — Rudra, Ishana, the bull-lord, the knowing one, the unborn, the supreme, dwelling in the one who goes and the one who stands, abiding in the heart of all beings."

Through his austerity Narayana attains the vision of Rudra — "smaller than the smallest and greatest of the great," abiding in the heart of all beings. It is telling that beholding the highest is granted only to one who has "become Brahman": the eye of spirit opens through purity. The verse teaches that the Lord is all-pervading and unmeasurable — equally in the smallest and the greatest, in motion and in rest; and His hidden contemplation is opened not by effort of the senses but by the transformation of the seer himself.
