ध्रुव: सर्वाणि भूतानि विष्णु: पाति जनार्दन: । महाराज! राक्षस
Translation
Wahai Maharaja! Dhruva menopang segenap makhluk, dan Vishnu—Janardana—memelihara semuanya. Para raksasa, pishacha, dan guhyaka menjaga Giriraja Himalaya serta gunung Gandhamadana; sedangkan Bhagavan Janardana, yang tak binasa dan meliputi segala, menanggung pemeliharaan seluruh makhluk hidup. (Namun atas negeri Vāhīka tiada anugerah khusus dari dewa mana pun.)
