गजेन्द्रो भगवत्स्पर्शाद्विमुक्तोऽज्ञानबन्धनात् ।

प्राप्तो भगवतो रूपं पीतवासाश्चतुर्भुजः ॥
 

Released from the bond of nescience at

the touch of the Lord, the elephant-king

attained God's own form, with yellow

garment and four arms.
 

 
स वै पूर्वमभूद्राजा पाण्ड्यो द्रविडसत्तमः ।

इन्द्रद्युम्न इति ख्यातो विष्णुव्रतपरायणः ॥

Previously, he had been a Pandyan

king, the most eminent among the

Dravidas, Indradyumna by name, con-

stantly devoted to the worship of Vishnu.
 

 
स एकदाऽऽराधनकाल आत्मवान्

गृहीतमौनव्रत ईश्वरं हरिम् ।

समर्चयामास यदृच्छया मुनिः

समागमच्छिष्यगणैः परिश्रितः ॥
 

Once, during the time of worship, that

Indradyumna, of self-possession, had

undertaken a vow of silence and was

worshipping Lord Hari when, by chance,

the sage (Agastya) arrived (there)

surrounded by his disciples.
