Maitreya said: Diti, possessing the power of Prajapati, bore a hundred years, fearing the destruction by the gods.

In the world, by that, the guardians of the worlds were defeated. They reported the overwhelming darkness to the creator.

The gods said: O Lord, you know this, we are greatly disturbed. The path of the unmanifested Lord is not touched by time.

O Lord of Lords, jewel of the world, you are the essence of all beings.

Salutations to the one of scientific prowess, who is to be approached through illusion. Salutations to you, the unmanifest source of all qualities.

Those who meditate on you with unwavering devotion, perceiving the essence of the self, realize the supreme reality that transcends both existence and non-existence.

For those who have perfected their yoga and conquered their senses, there is no downfall whatsoever, having received your grace.

Whose words control all beings, like cows tethered by a rope. To that supreme being, we offer our salutations.

You, O Lord, establish a peaceful earth, free from the actions of those who are obscured by ignorance, with a pure and clear vision.

This is the energy of the womb of Diti, offered to Kashyapa. It illuminates all directions, like fire in the darkness.

Maitreya said: The great-armed Lord, who is beyond words, revealed himself to the gods with a pleasing voice.

Brahma said: My sons, the mind-born ones, are the ancestors like Sanaka and others. They wander the worlds, free from desires.

Once, the Lord of Vaikuntha, the pure soul, went to the abode of Vaikuntha, honored by all worlds.

Wherever men embody the forms of Vaikuntha, they worship Hari with devotion, without any cause.

Where the Supreme Lord, who is the essence of sound, resides, the pure beings do not disturb the tranquility.

Where the forest named 'Naiḥśreyasa' is filled with wish-fulfilling trees, it shines with the glory of all seasons, resembling a form of liberation.

Where the celestial beings sing the glories of the Lord, the waters bloom with the fragrance of honey, and even the distracted minds are swept away by the breeze.

Where the cranes, swans, and other birds rest, and the high sounds of bees resonate like the singing of Hari's glories.

In the presence of fragrant flowers like Mandāra, Kunda, and Champaka, where Tulasi is worshipped, the place is honored by many who perform austerities.

Those who, with their minds absorbed in the feet of the Lord, do not take on the burden of worldly affairs, are like the magnificent palaces adorned with emeralds and gold, and they are not disturbed by the smiles of those who are attached to material desires.

The beautiful goddess, adorned with lotus-like feet, free from all faults, is seen in the abode of the Lord, as she cleanses the crystal-like abode with her grace, without any other effort.

In the ponds, where the waters are red like corals, accompanied by the Lord of Tulasi, she worships the Lord, observing the beauty of his face, which is adorned with a smile that captivates the hearts of the devotees.

Those who do not engage in sinful discussions and do not listen to the wicked tales of others, but instead, those who have heard the glories of the Lord, are freed from the darkness of ignorance and are uplifted.

Those who, even when requested, do not abandon their path, and who understand the essence of knowledge and righteousness, are indeed enchanted by the Lord, who is beyond illusion.

Those who, with unblinking eyes, are engaged in the path of righteousness, are indeed the ones who are worthy of our desire, as they are filled with the qualities of their lord, and their bodies are made ecstatic by the tears of love arising from their devotion to his glorious narratives.

That which is honored by the entire universe, which is divine and unique, and which the sages attain through the power of yoga, is indeed the abode of the Supreme, filled with the glory of the celestial beings.

In that place, the sages, having transcended the six stages of existence, are seen as equal in age and are adorned with divine ornaments, holding maces and wearing armlets, crowns, and splendid attire.

In the midst of the four-fold arms adorned with a garland of bees, he is seated, with a crooked brow and a face that emanates beauty, holding a red-eyed gaze that captivates the heart.

The sages entered through the doors of the two, having asked the question, just as the ancient door of the diamond gate was opened. They, with their unwavering vision, move everywhere without fear, free from all doubts.

Seeing those four clever boys, who were elderly and well-versed in the essence of the self, the Lord, with a smile, made them tremble with his staff.

They, being forbidden by the two doorkeepers, were unable to see the supreme Lord, even though they were friends of the Lord.

The sages said: Who among you, having come here to serve the Lord, can remain unaffected by the nature of the difficult dharma?

Indeed, the wise do not see any difference in the Lord, who is the essence of all beings, just as they do not see the sky as separate from the sky.

Let us meditate on the supreme Lord of Vaikuntha, who is the best among the best, and who sees the world through the eyes of the wise.

Those who are tormented by the fear of the terrible Brahma's rod, may they be freed from it by the weapons of the Lord. Immediately, may they take refuge at the feet of the Lord, who is the protector of His devotees.

May the punishment inflicted by the Lord, which is capable of removing all sins, not cause you regret, nor lead you downwards. May you not be caught in the illusion that destroys the remembrance of the Lord.

Thus, at that very moment, the Lord with lotus-like navel, having awakened His devotees, moved along with Goddess Lakshmi, seeking the feet of the supreme saints and great sages.

He who has come, may He be recognized by the seers, as He is the embodiment of the essence of meditation. He is the one who brings auspiciousness and is like the moonlight on the lotus of the heart.

With the grace of the entire universe, He is the one who is worthy of affection, and He touches the heart with the glance of love. He is like a beautiful gem, shining in the earth, adorned with the glory of wealth.

In a yellow garment, with a broad posterior, adorned with shining ornaments, and surrounded by the forest garlands, she, with her graceful waist, holds a lotus in her hand, while her other hand is raised in a playful manner.

With lightning-like earrings, a crest jewel worthy of a makara, and a face resembling a raised gem, he bears the Kaustubha gem on his shoulder, adorned with a splendid neck.

Here, with a smile, the goddess Indira is adorned with the thoughts of her devotees, creating great beauty. For me and for you, who worship the divine, the sight of her is never enough, as those with unfulfilled desires gaze upon her with joy.

The breeze, mixed with the nectar of tulasi, from the lotus-eyed one, creates a disturbance even in the minds of those who are absorbed in the imperishable.

They, having seen the beautiful smile of the lotus-faced one, are blessed, and upon seeing her feet, they meditate on the red nails, which are like jewels.

The path of yoga leads to the ultimate goal of mankind, which is filled with various opinions and is pleasing to the eyes. It reveals the divine form of the Supreme Being, who is adorned with the eightfold opulences.

The young ones said: Although You are hidden in the heart of the wicked, You are today the very essence of our sight, O infinite one. You, who have entered the cave of the ear, are described by our ancestors.

We know You, O Lord, as the Supreme Truth, who, through pure devotion, creates attachment in the hearts of the sages. Those who are aware of this, with their firm devotion, are free from worldly attachments.

Do not underestimate Your grace, even if others are proud. Those who take refuge at Your feet, O Lord, are skilled in the art of narrating Your glories and are revered by the world.

O Lord, if You do not delight in our words, then we are bound to suffer in hell due to our desires. May our ears be filled with the beauty of Your feet, if they are adorned with Your qualities.

O Puruhuta, you have manifested this form; by your grace, we have attained liberation from our vision. Therefore, we bow to you, O Bhagavān, who is beyond the self and is the supreme Lord.
