Only Brahmanas of pious mode of life, when purged of their sins and liberated from the influence of grief's obtain a sight of him, in their mind. Through the merits of his severe ascetic austerities Narayana beheld that undeteriorating, that most venerable one, that Being having the universe for his form. Beholding that best receptacle of all kinds of splendour, that divinity with a garland of Akshasas round his neck, Vasudeva with gratified soul became filled with delight, which he tried to express by his words, heart and understanding and body. Then Narayana worshipped that divine Lord, that primordial cause of the universe.
यं पश्यन्ति ब्राह्मणाः साधुवृत्ताः क्षीणे पापे मनसा वीतशोकाः। तं निष्पतन्तं तपसा धर्ममीड्यं तद्भक्त्या वै विश्वरूपं ददर्श। दृष्ट्वा चैनं वामनोबुद्धिदेहै: संहष्टात्मा मुमुदे वासुदेवः॥ अक्षमालापरिक्षिप्तं ज्योतिषां परमं निधिम्। ततो नारायणो दृष्ट्वा ववन्दे विश्वसम्भवम्॥
