निबद्धचध्य 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.
