Meaning
Of peaceful form, reclining on the serpent, lotus-navelled Lord of the gods,
support of the universe, vast as the sky, cloud-hued, of auspicious limbs,
beloved of Lakshmi, lotus-eyed, reached by yogis in meditation,
I bow to Vishnu, remover of the fear of worldly life, the one Lord of all worlds.
