Shāntākāram Bhujaga Shayanam, Padma Nābham Suresham, Vishvādhāram Gagana Sadrisham, Meghavarnam Shubhāngam, Lakshmī Kāntam Kamala Nayanam, Yogibhir Dhyāna Gamyam, Vande Vishnum Bhava Bhaya Haram, Sarva Lokaikanātham The supreme Lord has a serene appearance. He is reclining on Adishesh, the great thousand-headed serpent. A lotus emanates from His navel and He is the Lord of all demi-gods. He is the substratum of the entire universe. He is infinite like the sky. His complexion resembles that of a dark blue rain cloud. He is the source of all-auspiciousness. He is the beloved consort of Goddess Lakshmī. His eyes are beautiful like lotus petals. The great Yogis seek Him in their heart through meditation. My salutations to the omnipresent Lord Who removes the fears of worldly existence and is the supreme Lord of the entire universe. 1) O Lord, You travel on the great eagle, the Garuda. Please let Your Lotus Feet always shine in my mind. O Lord, please remove my sufferings. O Lord, please wipe out all my sins. 2) O Lord with lotus eyes, Your Lotus Feet are worshipped by Indra (the killer of Namuchi), Lord Brahma, Lord Shiva and other Devas. 3) O Lord, You recline on the serpent Adishesh. You are the Father of the Cupid. You remove the fears of birth and death. 4) O Lord, You hold the conch and the disc weapon. You destroy the wicked demons. You are the refuge of all beings. 5) O Lord of infinite noble attributes, You are the refuge of the forsaken. You are the destroyer of the expanded enemies of the demigods. 6) O Lord, You protect Your great devotees with utmost compassion. My Satgurudev, You are the embodiment of the supreme Lord. Please protect me.
