There is no other excellent refuge but you in the three worlds, mobile and immobile, O lord, O gods of gods, O slayer of Madhu. You are the graceful, ever-existing Nārāyaṇa, having a lotus naval. By you the worlds have been settled and myself and Sakra, the lord of the celestials.
नह्यन्यो देवदेवेश त्वदृते मधुसूदन। गतिः परायणं चापि त्रैलोक्य सचराचरे।॥ त्वं हि नारायणः श्रीमान्पद्मनाभः सनातनः। त्वयेमे स्थापिता लोकाः शक्रश्चाहं सुरेश्वरः॥
