देवदेवेन सड्डम्य विष्णुना प्रभविष्णुना । ऊचुश्नैनं समुद्विग्ना वाक्यं वाक्यविशारदा:,फिर बातचीतमें कुशल देवगण सम्पूर्ण जगत्की उत्पत्तिके कारणभूत देवाधिदेव
devadevena ṣaḍḍamya viṣṇunā prabhaviṣṇunā | ūcuś cainaṃ samudvignā vākyaṃ vākyaviśāradāḥ ||
Sa pagkabalisa at pangamba, ang mga diyos—na bihasa sa maingat at timbang na pananalita—ay nagsalita sa kanya, tinatawag si Viṣṇu, ang Diyos ng mga diyos, ang makapangyarihang pinagmumulan ng lahat ng pagpapakita sa daigdig.
