nū marto dayate saniṣyan yo viṣṇava urugāyāya dāśat | pra yaḥ satrācā manasā yajāta etāvantaṃ naryam āvivāsāt ||
Ne'er doth the man repent, who, seeking profit, bringeth his gift to the far-striding Visnu. He who adoreth him with all his spirit winneth himself so great a benefactor.
Thou, Visnu, constant in thy courses, gavest good-will to all men, and a hymn that lasteth, That thou mightst move us to abundant comfort of very splendid wealth with store of horses.
trir devaḥ pṛthivīm eṣa etāṃ vi cakrame śatarcasam mahitvā | pra viṣṇur astu tavasas tavīyān tveṣaṃ hy asya sthavirasya nāma ||
Three times strode forth this God in all his grandeur over this earth bright with a hundred splendours. Foremost be Visnu, stronger than the strongest: for glorious is his name who lives for ever.
vi cakrame pṛthivīm eṣa etāṃ kṣetrāya viṣṇur manuṣe daśasyan | dhruvāso asya kīrayo janāsa urukṣitiṃ sujanimā cakāra ||
Over this earth with mighty step strode Visnu, ready to give it for a home to Manu. In him the humble people trust for safety: he, nobly born, hath made them spacious dwellings.
pra tat te adya śipiviṣṭa nāmāryaḥ śaṃsāmi vayunāni vidvān | taṃ tvā gṛṇāmi tavasam atavyān kṣayantam asya rajasaḥ parāke ||
To-day I laud this name, O gipivista, I, skilled in rules, the name of thee the Noble. Yea, I the poor and weak praise thee the Mighty who dwellest in the realm beyond this region.
kim it te viṣṇo paricakṣyam bhūt pra yad vavakṣe śipiviṣṭo asmi | mā varpo asmad apa gūha etad yad anyarūpaḥ samithe babhūtha ||
What was there to be blamed in thee, O Visnu, when thou declaredst, I am Sipivista? Hide not this form from us, nor keep it secret, since thou didst wear another shape in battle.
वषट् ते विष्णव् आस आ कृणोमि तन् मे जुषस्व शिपिविष्ट हव्यम् । वर्धन्तु त्वा सुष्टुतयो गिरो मे यूयम् पात स्वस्तिभिः सदा नः ॥
vaṣaṭ te viṣṇav āsa ā kṛṇomi tan me juṣasva śipiviṣṭa havyam | vardhantu tvā suṣṭutayo giro me yūyam pāta svastibhiḥ sadā naḥ ||
O Visnu, unto thee my lips cry Vasat! Let this mine offering, Sipivista, please thee. May these my songs of eulogy exalt thee. Preserve us evermore, ye Gods, with blessings.
