He who is full of blazing effulgence. He who removed the afflictions of His adorers. He who assumed the form of a Swan for communicating the Vedas to the Grandfather Brahman. He who has Garuda, the prince of birds for his vehicle. He who is the foremost of snakes on account of His identity with Shesha or Ananta who upholds on his head the vast Earth. He whose navel is as beautiful as gold; He who practised the severest austerities in the form of Narayana at Badari on the breast of Himavat. He whose navel resembles a lotus. He who is the Lord of all creatures. (189-197)
मरीचिर्दमनो हंसः सुपर्णो भुजगोत्तमः। हिरण्यनाभः सुतपाः पद्मनाभः प्रजापतिः॥
