ध्रुव: सर्वाणि भूतानि विष्णु: पाति जनार्दन: । महाराज! राक्षस
Translation
“Tiyak ang kapalaran ng lahat ng nilalang; si Vishnu—si Janārdana—ang nag-iingat sa sangkatauhan. O Mahārāja! Ang mga rākṣasa, piśāca, at guhyaka ang nagbabantay sa hari ng mga bundok na Himalaya at sa bundok na Gandhamādana; at ang di-nasisirang, nasa lahat ng dako na Panginoong Janārdana ang nag-aaruga sa lahat ng may buhay (ngunit sa lupain ng Vāhīka, walang sinumang diyos na nagkakaloob ng natatanging biyaya).”
