Devata: Viṣṇu
Chandas: Triṣṭubh (probable; requires metrical verification)

न ते विष्णो जायमानो न जातो देव महिम्नः परमन्तमाप । उदस्तभ्ना नाकमृष्वं बृहन्तं दाधर्थ प्राचीं ककुभं पृथिव्याः ॥

ná te víṣṇo jā́yamāno ná jātó deva mahimnáḥ paramám ántam āpa | úd astabhnāḥ nā́kam ṛṣvám bṛhántam dā́dhartha prācī́ṃ kakúbhaṃ pṛthivyā́ḥ ||

Ni en naissant ni étant né, ô Viṣṇu, ô dieu, tu n’as atteint l’ultime limite de ta grandeur. Tu as soutenu là-haut le ciel élevé et vaste ; tu as affermi la hauteur orientale et le sommet de la terre.
