Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.

Thou defendest the four directions; thou shinest abroad with brightness (çocis) unto the two firmaments (nábhas); thou pursuest (anusthā) all these beings; thou, knowing, followest (anu-i) the way of righteousness.—Thine, O Vishṇu etc. etc.
