विष्णुमाह जगन्नाथं जगन्मयमजं विभुम् अंभसाभ्युक्ष्य तं विष्णुं विश्वरूपं महामुनिः
viṣṇumāha jagannāthaṃ jaganmayamajaṃ vibhum aṃbhasābhyukṣya taṃ viṣṇuṃ viśvarūpaṃ mahāmuniḥ
Tras rociarlo con agua, el gran sabio se dirigió a Viṣṇu—Señor del universo, inmanente en todos los mundos, no nacido y omnipenetrante—, a Viṣṇu de forma cósmica. En la comprensión śaiva, este honor a Viṣṇu obra como rito de concordia, preparando la mente del paśu (alma atada) para la bhakti hacia el único Pati, Śiva, regente interior de todas las formas.
Suta Goswami (outer narration; the verse reports a great sage addressing Vishnu)
