Devanagari script
एतद्विष्णुपदं दिव्यं तृतीयं व्योम्नि भास्वरम् / यत्र गत्वा न शोचन्ति तद्विष्णोः परमं पदम् / धर्मध्रुवाद्यास्तिष्ठन्ति यत्र ते लोकसाधकाः
Transliteration
etadviṣṇupadaṃ divyaṃ tṛtīyaṃ vyomni bhāsvaram / yatra gatvā na śocanti tadviṣṇoḥ paramaṃ padam / dharmadhruvādyāstiṣṭhanti yatra te lokasādhakāḥ
Translation
ਇਹ ਵਿਸ਼ਣੁਪਦ ਦਿਵ੍ਯ ਹੈ—ਆਕਾਸ਼ ਵਿੱਚ ਤੀਜਾ, ਪ੍ਰਕਾਸ਼ਮਾਨ; ਉੱਥੇ ਜਾ ਕੇ ਕੋਈ ਸ਼ੋਕ ਨਹੀਂ ਕਰਦਾ—ਉਹੀ ਵਿਸ਼ਣੁ ਦਾ ਪਰਮ ਪਦ ਹੈ। ਜਿੱਥੇ ਧਰਮ, ਧ੍ਰੁਵ ਆਦਿ ਲੋਕ-ਸਾਧਕ ਟਿਕੇ ਰਹਿੰਦੇ ਹਨ।
