MEN come not nigh thy majesty who growest beyond all bound and measure with thy body. Both thy two regions of the earth, O Vishṇu, we know: thou God, knowest the highest also.

O Vishṇu, unto thee my lips cry Vashaṭ! Let this mine offering, Ṣipivishṭa, please thee. May these my songs of eulogy exalt thee. Preserve us evermore, ye Gods, with blessings.
