prá tád viṣṇú stávate vīryèṇa mṛgó ná bhīmáḥ kucaró giriṣṭhā́ḥ | yásyorúṣu triṣú vikrámaṇeṣv adhikṣíyanti bhúvanāni víśvā
Translation
അതുകൊണ്ട് വിഷ്ണു തന്റെ വീര്യത്താൽ സ്തുതിക്കപ്പെടുന്നു—ഭീകര മൃഗംപോലെ സഞ്ചരിക്കുന്നവൻ, പർവതങ്ങളിൽ വസിക്കുന്നവൻ; കാരണം അവന്റെ വിശാലമായ മൂന്ന് വിക്രമങ്ങളിൽ സർവ്വ ഭുവനങ്ങളും അധിവസിക്കുന്നു.
