The Supreme god Narayana is the Lord of all the foremost of Rishis, and of the three worlds. He is the upholder of Earth herself of huge proportions. He is the receptacle of the Shruti's and of the quality of humility. He is the great receptacle of all those ordinances that should be practised for acquiring tranquillity of heart, as also of all those who go by the name of Yama. He is always accompanied by the foremost of twice-born ones. Let that great god be your refuge.
स हि परमगुरुर्जनभुवनपतिः पृथुधरणिधरः श्रुतिविनयनिधिः। स्तव भवतु गतिर्हरिरमरहितः॥
