From the Narasimha Purana. After the gods have addressed a hymn to Lord Hari, he reveals himself to their presence,
yusmaabhih samstuto devaa
naamabhih kevalaih shubhaih/
ata eva prasanno'smi
kimartham karavaani vah//
(the Illustrious one said)
Ye gods! the hymn of praise you have addressed,
Fraught with my names and fervently expressed,
Hath pleased me much, therefore I do inquire
What can I do to fulfil your desire.
deva-deva hrisikesa
pundarikaaksa maadhava/
tvameva jaanaasi hare
kim tasmaat pariprcchasi//
'Oh God of gods', the deities replied,
'Madhava, Hrishikesh, Oh Lotus-eyed!
You know all things Hari, we ask you why,
You lay before us this inquiry?'
N.P. Ch. XL. 54-55
