While Brahman was saying these words, O best of kings, the resolution suddenly arose in his mind, O foremost of intelligent persons, for singing the praises of Hari in these words. The powerful Brahman then, with hands joined in reverence, and seizing the feet of his progenitor, sang this highest of hymns in honour of Narayana.
इत्येवं भाषमाणस्य ब्रह्मणो नृपसत्तम॥ हरेः स्तोत्रार्थमुद्भूता बुद्धिर्बुद्धिमतां वर। ततो जगौ परं जप्यं साञ्जलिप्रग्रहः प्रभुः॥
