यस्यांशात्सात्त्विकं दिव्यं बिभ्रद्विष्णुः सनातनः । विश्वं बिभर्त्ति भूतात्मा शिवोऽस्माभिः स पूज्यते
yasyāṃśātsāttvikaṃ divyaṃ bibhradviṣṇuḥ sanātanaḥ | viśvaṃ bibhartti bhūtātmā śivo'smābhiḥ sa pūjyate
Mula sa Kaniyang bahagi, taglay ng walang-hanggang Viṣṇu ang banal na lakas na sāttvika, at bilang Kaluluwa sa loob ng lahat ng nilalang ay inaalalayan Niya ang sansinukob—si Śiva, Siya ang sinasamba namin.

Scene: A cosmic hymn-scene: sages or devas praising Śiva; Viṣṇu shown bearing a luminous sāttvika aura emanating from Śiva’s aṃśa; the universe upheld as a mandala within the divine field.
