word Parovarīya means "greater than the greatest". The example here is of the worshipers of Ugītha in relation to Parovarīya. Here someone may object: Is it not so that the ekāntīs and svaniṣṭhas are both called devotees of the Lord and therefore they must both meditate on all the Lord's qualities just as they who call themselves brāhmaṇas must all meditate on the Gāyatrī-mantra? If this is said, then the author of the sūtras gives the following reply.

In the Ṛg Veda (1.154.1) it is said: viṣṇor nu kaṁ vīryāṇi pravocaṁ "How can I describe all the glories and powers of Lord Viṣṇu?" In the Smṛti-śāstra it is said:
