Who will narrate the greatness of Lord
Vishnu? Who is there to count the the sand particles of the universe? The three
strides of His feet alone measured the three worlds, and the worlds are full of
joy with wealth and prosperity because of the touch of His feet. He alone is
the support of the worlds. His supreme abode is dear to me and may I attain it,
where Thy devotees enjoy divine bliss there and there is flow of nectar in that
place.

That devotee ,who with devotion in his mind
worships throughYagnyas and worship by offering oblations in Homa,That great
Vishnu who existed much before the creation of the world,Who created the world
, who is new every moment of time, who is Lord of all majesties, or a devotee
who describes the incarnations of Lord, like that of Krishna, which is the
greatest, he alone will be happy and full of renown, and at the end of his life
will quickly attain the abode which is to be attained in the end - Thy abode.

O you poets, who sing the praise of the
kings women etc., in whatever way you know, sing the praise of the Lord who is
clear essence of all the Vedas, narrating His deeds in various incarnations.
Understand that the chanting of His names confers limitless happiness, and so
chant them whole heartedly. O Lord Vishnu! by chanting the names of Thee The
Great, I will attain the knowledge of the Truth.

One should always meditate on the great
deeds of Lord Mahaa Vishnu, by which He established righteousness, and by which
He helped Indra sometimes as a servant, and some times as a friend, bringing
welfare to him and to the whole world. The Lord's supreme state and well
illumined Pure Consciousness is experienced by Yogis and Siddhas. Whose
greatness great holy men and scholars try to expound by composing many hymns of
praise.

Oh God Vishnu , all those who are already
born and also those ,Who are going to be born have not yet found the limit of
your greatness, And understanding their greatness , I again and again chant
your names,I also praise you with several prayers, you who live in Vaikunta,Which
is shining above all these three worlds.

O Lord of the Universe! At first, at the
beginning of the creation water came into existence and held Thee into
themselves. O Lord Reclining on the Waters! All the jeevas then were merged and
held in Thy being. On Thee the Birthless Lord! There rose one lone lotus from
Thy naval with eight petals representing the eight quarters and the golden
mountain (Mahaameru) as its pericarp representing all the worlds.

Oh World , you do not know that this world
was created by Lord Vishnu,And also that within your heart there is another
image of Vishnu,And in spite of that fact you spend your time , With your minds
covered with the mist of Maayaa, you are infatuated by names and shapes, With
the mind and body satisfied with pleasure of senses,And with interest in
rituals like Yaga but with no interest in Vishnu.

Oh Lord you have thousands of heads, eyes
and feet,And though you are everywhere in the world and also outside it,You
shine well even in the mind with a very small opening,And Oh Lord who is the
divine Purusha,You are all that is past and all that is going to happen,And not
only that , though you are pervading in body and senses,You are much above them
and enjoy the supreme bliss of liberation

O Infinite Being! Having taken on the form
of the three worlds, Thou You exist outside it as the endless and purest
knowledge ,And your greatness is indeed wonderful for only a very small part of
yourself,Is seen occupying all the three worlds and the rest of it,Which is
nearly three fourth of the whole shines above the three worlds,Oh Lord my
salutations to you who is like that.

I find it difficult to understand that abstract form of
yours which is not clear,But find it very easy to comprehend that pure Sathva
form of yours,Which is equivalent to the waves of the great ocean of nectar,And
due to that greater than everything that I perceive here,And very pleasant to
my mind and I surrender to that form of yours,Oh Lord of Guruvayur , Oh
Krishna, save me from all diseases
