SV 2 8104.1

किमित्ते विष्णो परिचक्षि नाम प्र यद्ववक्षे शिपिविष्टो अस्मि । मा वर्पो अस्मदप गूह एतद्यदन्यरूपः समिथे बभूथ

kimitte viṣṇo paricakṣi nāma pra yadvavakṣe śipiviṣṭo asmi | mā varpo asmadapa gūha etadyadanyarūpaḥ samithe babhūtha

What of yours, Viṣṇu, is it that you made known as a name, when you declared, "I am Śipiviṣṭa"? Do not hide this form from us, since in the encounter you have been of another shape.

What, Vishnu, is the name that thou proclaimest when thou declaredst, I am Sipivishta? Hide not this form from us, nor keep it secret, since thou didst wear another shape in battle.
