O best of Bharata race, here is the sacred and extensive Badari, celebrated all over the worlds, which is the highly holy hermitage of him who is the Present, the Past and the Future, who is called Narayana, the lord Vishnu, who is eternal and who is the foremost of Purushas.
यः स भूतं भविष्यच्च भवच्च भरतर्षभ। नारायणः प्रभुर्विष्णुः शाश्वतः पुरुषोत्तमः॥ तस्यातियशसः पुण्यां विशालां बदरीमनु। आश्रमः ख्यायते पुण्यस्त्रिषु लोकेषु विश्रुतः॥
