Becoming Shesha it is I who support (on my head) this earth bounded by the four seas and decked by Meru and Mandara.

यजन्ते मां तथा वैश्याः स्वर्गलोकजिगीषया। चतु:समुद्रपर्यन्तां मेरुमन्दरभूषणाम्॥ शेषो भूत्वाहमेवैतांधारयामि वसुन्धराम। वाराहं रूपमास्थाय मयेयं जगती पुरा॥ मज्जामाना जले विप्र वीर्येणासीत् समुद्धृता। अग्निश्च वडवावक्त्रो भूत्वाहं द्विजसत्तम॥
