The Rakshashas, the Daityas, the Rudras, the Brahma himself, O ruler of men, having their senses subdued and having performed austere asceticism for one thousand years. In order to secure the grace of Vishnu, cooked Charu here and gratified Keshava (Vishnu) with oblation (offered), each time uttering seven Riks (the verse of three Vedas).
ऋषयः पितरो देवा गन्धर्वापसरसां गणाः। गुह्यकाः किन्नरा यक्षाः सिद्धा विद्याधरा नराः॥ राक्षसा दितिजा रुद्रा ब्रह्मा च मनुजाधिप। नियतः परमां दीक्षामास्थायाब्दसहस्रिकीम्॥ विष्णोः प्रसादनं कुर्वश्चरुं च श्रपयंस्तथा। सप्तभिः सप्तभिश्चैव ऋग्भिस्तुष्टाव केशवम्॥
