स्तुतिमनूब्रूत दैवीभिर्गीर्भिस्त्ववहितेन्द्रियः ॥
 

With his faculties in attention, Brahma

sang a hymn in divine words:

'स त्वं नो दर्शयात्मानमस्मत्करणगोचरम् ।

यथा हि स्कन्धशाखानां तरोर्मूलावसेचनम् ।

एवमाराधनं विष्णोत्सर्वेषामात्मनश्च हि ।

नमस्तुभ्यमनन्ताय दुर्वितर्क्यात्कर्मणे ॥'
 

"Manifest yourself in a form com-

prehensible to our faculties. Even as the

watering of the roots is the feeding of

the boughs and the branches, the

propitiation of Vishnu is the gratification

of all and of oneself too. Obeisance unto

you, the eternal Lord whose acts are
.

inscrutable."
 

 
एवं स्तुतस्सुरगणैर्भगवान्हरिरीश्वरः ।

तेषामाविरभूद् [राजन् ] सहस्रार्कोदयद्युतिः ॥
 

Thus extolled by the gods, Lord Hari,

the Master, manifested Himself to them,

with the splendour of the rising of a

thousand suns.
