Translation

The demigods said: Dear Lord, formerly, when there was a devastation, You conserved all the different energies of material manifestation. At that time, all the inhabitants of the higher planets, represented by such liberated souls as Sanaka, were meditating on You by philosophical speculation. You are therefore the original person, and You rest in the water of devastation on the bed of the Śeṣa snake. Now, today, You are visible to us, who are all Your servants. Please give us protection.

देवताओंने कहा— देव! आप आदिपुरुष हैं। पूर्वकल्पका अन्त होनेपर अपने कार्यरूप इस प्रपंचको उदरमें लीनकर आपने ही प्रलयकालीन जलके भीतर शेषनागकी उत्तम शय्यापर शयन किया था। आपके आध्यात्मिक स्वरूपका जनलोकादिवासी सिद्धगण भी अपने हृदयमें चिन्तन करते हैं। अहो! वही आप आज हमारे नेत्रोंके विषय होकर अपने भक्तोंकी रक्षा कर रहे हैं॥ ४२॥
