Lokakalpanā / The Ordering of the Worlds
Cosmogony and Earth’s Retrieval
सत्त्वोद्रेकान्निषिद्धस्तु शून्यं लोकमवैक्षत / इमं चोदाहरन्त्यत्रर् श्लोकं नारायणं प्रति
sattvodrekānniṣiddhastu śūnyaṃ lokamavaikṣata / imaṃ codāharantyatrar ślokaṃ nārāyaṇaṃ prati
Stirred by the upsurge of sattva, he beheld the world as void; and here this verse is recited in reverence to Nārāyaṇa.
