Meaning / Translation

I bow to Lord Vishnu, who has a peaceful appearance, who rests on a serpent, who has a lotus emerging from His navel, and who is the Lord of the gods. He is the support of the universe, vast as the sky, dark as a cloud, and possesses auspicious limbs. He is the consort of Lakshmi, has lotus-like eyes, and is attained by yogis through meditation. I salute the Lord of all worlds, who removes the fear of worldly existence.

Salutations to You, O Lord of Yoga, the sole Lord of all worlds. Salutations to You, O Vishnu, the destroyer of all obstacles. Salutations to You, O Lord of the Universe, who is dear to all devotees. Salutations to the one dear to Vishnu, the beautiful and radiant one.
