I worship Lord Viṣṇu, the embodiment of Peace, whose couch and canopy is thousand headed Śeṣa, from whose navel blossoms forth a lotus flower (from which the lord of creation Brahmā is born), who is the supporter of the universe, who is all pervading in ākāśa, the ether or atmosphere, whose complexion resembles that of clouds (rain bearing clouds are dark in colour), who pervades the heart of His consort Śrī Lakṣmī, who is lotus eyed, who is sought by yogi-s through meditation, one who is capable of eradicating the dreadfulness of transmigrations (transmigration is full of fear, miseries and pains) and the unparalleled Lord of the universe.

I bow down before the Lord of the universe Viṣṇu, who appears like dark clouds, who is adorned with yellow silk clothing, having a mole by name Śrīvatsa (Śrīvatsa has different interpretations. It is said to be a cluster of hair in His chest, which is an indication of His Supremacy and auspiciousness. There is also reference which says that it is the Abode of His consort Śrī Lakṣmī. It also means a mark on His chest. According to ancient tradition, sage Bhṛgu struck Lord Viṣṇu with his feet on the chest of the Lord as the Lord had not shown due respect to the sage. The Lord is said to carry this mark as a mark of repentance and this mark is known as Śrīvatsa), His body radiating with kaustubha jewel (a celebrated jewel obtained with thirteen other precious things at the churning of the ocean and suspended on the chest Viṣṇu), with wide eyes like lotus flowers and surrounded by men of moral excellence (it is said that virtuousness is the primary duty of a man and Viṣṇu is the Lord of virtuousness).
