For
this
His
mighty
deed
is
Vishnu
praised,
who
like
some
wild
lion,
dread,
prowling,
roams
the
mountains.
He
within
whose
three
wide-‐extending
paces
all
living
creatures
have
their
existence.

the
earth.

Through
all

whole
was

in
His
footstep's
dust.

O
Jataveda!
O
Agni!
Invite
for
my
sake,
the
Goddess
of
good
fortune,
the
golden-‐hued
dame,
the
doe-‐like,
moon-‐like
maiden
wreathed
in
gold
and
silver.

I
seek
refuge
in
the
brilliant
Goddess
who
is
generous
and
delightful.
This
Goddess
of
prosperity
is
assiduously
sought
after
by
devas.
May
her
opposite
-‐
alakshmi-‐
denoted
by
desire,
anger,
greed,
penury,
unhappiness
and
misfortune
be
utterly
destroyed.
