Chapter One.
Opening Benediction.
May that pair of lotus feet of Hari purify you, / which is suited to destroying the distress caused by fear of worldly existence, / and which, having attained them, is deeply worshipped by yogins of purified minds— / the feet which, manifesting their stride, traversed earth, atmosphere, and heaven.
0.p3
May he protect you, skilled in shattering all sins, / whose form rests upon the coils of the serpent in the depths of the Milk Ocean, / and through contact with whom the ocean seems to dance, / fearsome with particles of spray stirred up by his breaths.
0.p4
Having bowed to Nārāyaṇa and Nara, the best of men, / and to the goddess Sarasvatī and Vyāsa, one should then proclaim the Jaya.
