Library·Manu-Smrti·1·1.10
आपो नरा इति प्रोक्ता) आपो वै नरसूनवः । ता यद् अस्यायनं पूर्वं तेन नारायणः स्मृतः ॥
āpo narā iti proktā) āpo vai narasūnavaḥ | tā yad asyāyanaṃ pūrvaṃ tena nārāyaṇaḥ smṛtaḥ ||
Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
The waters are called narah, (for) the waters are, indeed, the offspring of Nara; as they were his first residence (ayana), he thence is named Narayana.
