निबद्धच नावं तच्छृङ्गे तुष्टाव मधुसूदनम् ।
मत्स्यरूपी महांभोधौ विहरंस्तत्त्वमब्रवीत् ।
पुराणसंहितां दिव्यामात्मगुह्यमशेषतः ॥
 
Tying the ark to His snout, Satyavrata
extolled the Lord. Sporting in the great
ocean, the Lord in the form of the Fish
imparted (to Satyavrata) the Truth as
also the divine (Matsya) Purana and
everything about the secret knowledge of
the soul.
 
अतीतप्रलयापाय उत्थिताय स वेधसे ।
हत्वाऽसुरं हयग्रीवं वेदान्प्रत्याहरद्धरिः ॥
 
When the time of deluge-destruction
had passed, Lord Hari killed the demon
Hayagriva and restored the Vedas to
Brahma, who had risen from his slumber.
