Sleep, black and lovely-eyed, knowing the time of the end of the worlds, having the form of Time, waited upon that great-souled one, the lord of the whole universe, Nārāyaṇa, the seed of the universe.

And his ancient deeds are heard of even among the gods; beginning from the Great Purāṇa there is nothing beyond him. Apart from that Purāṇa, his deeds are not known at all.

Since the gods were not able to look upon him, the unfallen one, when asleep—therefore he sleeps at the end of the hot season and wakes when the rain-clouds cease. For he is the sacrifices and the Vedas and all the members of sacrifice; and what is called the course of sacrifice, that is this Supreme Person. When he sleeps, the rites of sacrifice hallowed by mantras do not proceed; for Madhusūdana, whose sacrifices begin in autumn, wakes (then). For from autumn onward the sacrifices are awake, when Hari the bearer of Śrī is awake. This yearly cycle the lord of the waters causes to be carried out; and when Viṣṇu sleeps, Puraṃdara performs Viṣṇu's work.

Arise, hundred-petal-eyed one, lotus-navelled, of great brilliance! Some occasion has arisen because of the weight of the gods' business. Cast off sleep for the sake of the world, Keśava, lord, Janārdana; when you sleep the world sleeps, when you wake it is awake. Cause the gods to meet (you), god of gods, lord of the world. Why do you sleep, Govinda, now that the world is ruined? See the world, with its gods, asuras and men, all but destroyed. Then, drawing the whole world together, rending the flood of darkness, Hṛṣīkeśa rose up, blazing with supreme splendour.
