Ambarīṣa said: “O lord, O lord of the worlds, O my lord, be pleased. O Kṛṣṇa, O Viṣṇu, O lord of the Universe, bowed to by the worlds, you are the primordial lord; you have no beginning. You are the eternal Puruṣa; you are lord Viṣṇu the incomprehensible lord. You are Govinda, the lotus-eyed lord. You are born of the body of Maheśvara. A lotus is grown up from your umbilicus. You sojourn the skies.[3] You stride over the firmament; you are the Kapālin carrying the kavya[4] offerings. You are the wind-god conveying the havya offerings. You are the primordial lord delighted in holy rites. You are the great Ātman stationed, within the Ātman. O Govinda, I have resorted to you. O son of Devaki, be victorious. O lord, be victorious, O lord of the Universe, O lotus-eyed one, save me. I have no other goal but you. You alone are my refuge.”
