I bow to Vishnu, Who is in an immense state of rest, Who lies on a serpent bed, Who has a lotus burgeoning from His navel, Who is the leader of demi-gods , Who is the support of the world, Who is immeasurable like sky, Who has a body of cloud-like-blue color, Who has auspicious organs, Who is adorned by the lustre of Lakshmi, Who has red-lotus like eyes, Who is achieved by knowledge-seekers during meditation, Who absolves the fear of cycle of life and death, and Who is the Only Lord of the world.
