Oṃ, homage be to you, Lord Nārāyaṇa, Vāsudeva, primal Person, great Person, of great might, supremely auspicious, supremely benign, supremely compassionate, one alone, support of the world, sole master of the worlds, lord of all, husband of Lakṣmī: you are he who, by the highest absorption in the yoga of the Self practised by paramahaṃsa wanderers, and by the fully manifest dharma of the paramahaṃsas which they have realized, in the mind whose door-panels of darkness are thrown open, in the uncovered realm of the Self, is himself found as the experience of one's own innate bliss.

For there is no contradiction in both (alternatives) being (true) in the Lord, in whom the host of qualities is unlimited, whose greatness cannot be fathomed, in whom there is no occasion for the disputes of those who argue from stubborn misapprehension, resting on minds muddled by recent conceits, conjectures, speculations, semblances of proof, and treatises of bad reasoning — in him in whom all māyā has ceased, who, one alone, having withdrawn his own māyā within, has any purpose that could be as it were hard to accomplish? For there is in him no second nature.

The sons of Diti and the sons of Danu and the rest are likewise your own manifested powers. Thinking, 'This is the time for proceeding against them,' by the māyā of your own self, with forms of gods, men, beasts, mixed forms, and water-dwellers, you have inflicted punishment in accordance with the offence, O bearer of the rod. So slay this son of Tvaṣṭā too, O Lord, if indeed you think fit.

And then, O Lord — for you, whose divine sport of māyā becomes the cause of the origination, maintenance and dissolution of the entire world; who, within the hearts of all the hosts of living beings and outside as well, in the form of Brahman the inner self and in the form of the pradhāna, experience (things) according to the particular differences of place, time, body and condition, being the apprehender of them together with their material cause; who are the witness of all cognitions, whose body is space, who are directly the supreme Brahman, the Supreme Self — what particular matter here could there be that needs to be made known to you, as though by sparks and the like to the golden-seeded fire?

For this very reason, arrange that yourself for us who have come to the shade of the hundred-petalled lotus of the feet of you, the Lord, the supreme teacher — that shade which stills the fatigue of a saṃsāra of manifold miseries — that for the desire of which we have been brought here.
