Shloka 55
ध्रुवस्य निर्वेदः — मन्त्रोपदेशः (ॐ नमो वासुदेवाय) तथा विष्ण्वाराधनविधिः
एतज् जजाप भगवान् जप्यं स्वायम्भुवो मनुः पितामहस् तव पुरा तस्य तुष्टो जनार्दनः
etaj jajāpa bhagavān japyaṃ svāyambhuvo manuḥ pitāmahas tava purā tasya tuṣṭo janārdanaḥ
Chính thần chú đáng trì tụng này, thuở xưa Svāyambhuva Manu—tổ phụ của ngươi—đã trì niệm với tâm hướng về Bhagavān. Nhờ lòng sùng kính ấy, Janārdana (Viṣṇu) hoan hỷ và mãn nguyện với ông.

Vishnu as Janārdana is portrayed as the Supreme Lord who is personally responsive to devotion; his satisfaction is the decisive cause behind spiritual and cosmic well-being.
