Mantras
Mantra 1
परो मात्रया तन्वा वृधान न ते महित्वमन्वश्नुवन्ति । उभे ते विद्म रजसी पृथिव्या विष्णो देव त्वं परमस्य वित्से ॥
Vishnu bhagwan ki body ke hisaab se koi had nahi hai. Unka badai itna hai ki koi us tak nahi pahunch sakta. Hum jaante hain dono jagah, aasmaan aur dharti. Vishnu dev, tum sabse bade ho aur sabse upar wali cheez ko jaante ho.
Mantra 2
न ते विष्णो जायमानो न जातो देव महिम्नः परमन्तमाप । उदस्तभ्ना नाकमृष्वं बृहन्तं दाधर्थ प्राचीं ककुभं पृथिव्याः ॥
Vishnu, tum paida hoke bhi paida nahi hue. Tumhari badai ki koi had hi nahi. Tumne upar wala bada aasmaan pakad ke rakha hai. Aur tumne dharti ke poorab wale hisse ko bhi pakad ke rakha hai.
Mantra 3
इरावती धेनुमती हि भूतं सूयवसिनी मनुषे दशस्या । व्यस्तभ्ना रोदसी विष्णवेते दाधर्थ पृथिवीमभितो मयूखैः ॥
Yeh dharti paani se bhari hai aur doodh deti hai jaise gaay. Isme achha ghaas hai aur insaan ke kaam aati hai. Vishnu ne dono duniya ko alag kiya, aasmaan upar, dharti neeche. Aur unhone dharti ko roshni se charo taraf se pakad ke rakha hai.
Mantra 4
उरुं यज्ञाय चक्रथुरु लोकं जनयन्ता सूर्यमुषासमग्निम् । दासस्य चिद्वृषशिप्रस्य माया जघ्नथुर्नरा पृतनाज्येषु ॥
Dono ne yeh duniya bada bana diya yagya ke liye. Suraj, subah aur aag paida ki. Ek dushman tha jiska naam Dasa tha, usne bahut dhoka diya tha. Dono ne uski chaal ko maara aur ladai mein use hara diya.
Mantra 5
इन्द्राविष्णू दृंहिताः शम्बरस्य नव पुरो नवतिं च श्नथिष्टम् । शतं वर्चिनः सहस्रं च साकं हथो अप्रत्यसुरस्य वीरान् ॥
Indra aur Vishnu, tum dono mein bahut taakat hai. Tumne Shambara naam ke dushman ki 99 qile tod diye. Uske sau aur hazaar sipahi the, sabko ek saath maara. Tumne use hara ke roshni ki raastaa saaf kar di.
Mantra 6
इयं मनीषा बृहती बृहन्तोरुक्रमा तवसा वर्धयन्ती । ररे वां स्तोमं विदथेषु विष्णो पिन्वतमिषो वृजनेष्विन्द्र ॥
Yeh badi soch hai, bade aur taqatwar bhagwan. Vishnu, tumhare bade kadam ke saath yeh soch badh rahi hai. Sabke saamne Vishnu, tum dono ke liye ek gaana ban gaya hai. Indra, humare kaam mein hume taqat aur khana de do.
Mantra 7
वषट् ते विष्णवास आ कृणोमि तन्मे जुषस्व शिपिविष्ट हव्यम् । वर्धन्तु त्वा सुष्टुतयो गिरो मे यूयं पात स्वस्तिभिः सदा नः ॥
Main Vishnu ke liye yeh puja kar raha hoon. Mera yeh bhent qubool karo. Meri tareef aur baatein tumhari taqat badha dein. Tum hamesha hume apni shakti se bacha ke rakhna.
