Brahmā said: In (that descent) the Endless One, rising up to lift the surface of the earth, bearing a boar's body composed of all sacrifices, tore with his tusk that primeval demon who had come at him within the great ocean, as the wielder of the thunderbolt splits a mountain.

Born as Suyajña, the son of Ākūti, of Ruci, he begot the Suyamas, gods, in Dakṣiṇā; because he took away the great affliction of the three worlds, he was called Hari by Manu Svāyambhuva.

And he was born, O twice-born one, in Kardama's house of Devahūti, together with nine women; he told his own mother the way to the self, by which, shaking off in this (world) the stain of the self, the mire of attachment to the qualities, she attained Kapila's state.

To Atri, who longed for offspring, he, being pleased, said, "I have given myself," and so that Lord is Datta; those whose bodies were purified by the pollen of his lotus feet — the Yadus, the Haihayas and others — attained the twofold richness of yoga.

Austerity was practised by me at the beginning out of a wish to create the various worlds; from that austerity of mine he became the fourfold Sana (Sanaka and his brothers); he rightly declared here the truth of the self, which had been lost in the flood at the end of the previous kalpa, and which the sages then beheld within themselves.

Nārāyaṇa was born, together with Nara, of Mūrti, Dakṣa's daughter and (wife) of Dharma — his greatness (came) from his own austerity; but the goddesses, an army of the Bodiless One (Kāma), seeing that (this would mean) the breaking of the Lord's own vow, were unable to bring it about.

Accomplished men do indeed burn up lust with an angry glance, yet they do not burn that unbearable anger which burns (them). But this same lust is afraid even to enter within him; how then could it ever take shelter in his mind?

Pierced by the arrow-like words uttered by (his father's) co-wife in the king's presence, though only a boy he went off to the forests for austerity; and (the Lord), pleased with him as he sang his praise, gave him the unmoving station (dhruva-gati), above and below which the celestial sages sing their praises.

When Vena, gone astray from the path, his manly fortune scorched by the thunderbolt of the brahmins' words, was falling into hell, (the Lord) being petitioned rescued him, and also attained in this world the status of his son — he by whom the earth was milked of all her treasures.

This Ṛṣabha, son of Nābhi by Sudevī, was he who, of even vision, practised the yoga-discipline of one who appears dull-witted — that state which the sages call the state of the supreme swan: self-abiding, with the senses wholly quieted, entirely free of attachment.

At my sacrifice the Lord appeared with a horse's head, and he was directly the Person of sacrifice, of the colour of gold, consisting of the metres, consisting of the rites, the self of all the gods; and from his nostrils, as he breathed, came forth the lovely (Vedic) words.

He, the remover of the great fear of the dwellers in heaven, took the form of a man-lion, its face made terrible by rolling brows and fangs; and when the lord of the Daityas rushed at him from close by with a club, he swiftly threw him down on his thigh and tore him apart with his nails as he thrashed about.

This was no loss for Bali, who bore on his crest the water that had washed the feet of Urukrama — (the loss of) sovereignty over the gods; for he who wished to do nothing other than what he had promised, dear one, in his mind counted his very self as given over to Hari.

That deed of his is as if divine: when at night, as the forest of śuci (the dry season) blazes all around with a wildfire, he — of unapproachable might, together with Bala — will make the people of Vraja, who lie asleep and whose last hour has thus been reckoned, close their eyes and will lead them out.
