तमालोक्यासुरास्सर्वे कलशं तरसाऽहरन् ।

नीयमानेऽसुरैस्तस्मिन् कलशेऽमृतभाजने ।

विषण्णमनसो देवा हरिं शरणमाययुः ॥

Seeing Dhanvantari, all the Asuras

snatched the jar (of nectar) forcibly.

When the jar of nectar was being carried

away by the demons, the depressed gods

went to Hari for refuge.
 

 
मा खिद्यत मिथोऽर्थथं वः साधयिष्ये स्वमायया ।'

इत्युक्त्वा सान्त्वयन्देवांस्तत्रैवान्तर्दधे हरिः ॥
 

" Feel not miserable; secretly and

through my Maya, I shall accomplish

your object." Having said So, Hari

consoled the gods and disappeared at

that very place.
 

 
मिथः कलिरभूत्तेषां तदर्थे तर्षचेतसाम् ॥
 

There was mutual quarrel among the

demons who were covetous of the nectar
 

 
एतस्मिन्नन्तरे विष्णुस्सर्वोपायविदीश्वरः ।

योषिद्र रूपमनिर्देश्यं दधार परमाद्भुतम् ।

सत्व्रीडस्मितविक्षिप्त भूभ्रूविलासावलोकनैः ।

दैत्ययूथपचेतस्सु काममुद्दीपयन्मुहुः ॥
