of the sword (named Nandaka). Thou art Vishnu (the
pervader of all); blue in colour: of great might; the commander of armies;
and lord of villages. Thou art truth. Thou art embodied intelligence,
forgiveness, control over the senses, creation, and destruction. Thou art
Upendra(1167) and Madhusudana.(1168) Thou art the creator of Indra, the
ruler over all the world, Padmanabha,(1169) and destroyer of enemies in
the battle. The divine Rishis call thee shelter of refugees, as well as
the giver of shelter. Thou hast a thousand horns,(1170) a hundred
heads.(1171) Thou art respected of the respected; and the lord and first
creator of the three worlds. Thou art the forefather and shelter of
Siddhas,(1172) and Sadhyas.(1173) Thou art sacrifices; Vashatkara,(1174)
Omkara.(1175) Thou art beyond those who are beyond our senses. There is

time of thy incarnation named Vamana, thou didst pervade the three worlds
with thy three steps; and Mahendra was made the king of paradise by thee
having confined the fearful Bali.(1178) Sita (thy wife) is Lakshmi; and
thou art the God Vishnu,(1179) Krishna,(1180) and Prajapati. To kill Ravan
thou hast assumed the form of a man; therefore, O best of the virtuous,
thou hast completed this task imposed by us (gods). O Rama, Ravana has
been killed by thee: now being joyful (i.e. having for some time reigned
