“I praise Lord Vishnu who is the Lord of all the worlds and the destroyer of the ills of this earthly life. Lord Vishnu has a calm appearance and is reclined on a snake bed. He is the Lord of all the gods and has a lotus stalk emanating from his naval. He is the very foundation of this universe and presents an expansive look like the skies. He wears a dark complexion like the clouds and appears in auspicious looks. He is the attractor of Goddess Lakshmi. The lotus-eyed Lord is constantly meditated upon by the sages and saints.
