I bow to Lord Vishnu, who has a peaceful countenance, who rests on a serpent, from whose navel springs the lotus, and who is the Lord of all gods. He who supports the universe, who is as vast as the sky, who has the color of dark clouds, and possesses beautiful limbs. He who is the beloved of Lakshmi, whose eyes are like lotuses, who is attained by yogis through meditation, and who destroys the fear of worldly existence, the sole Lord of all worlds.
