He is praised, he is invoked for the Krishna-like upright one, Nāsatya along with Shachi’s men. Do not let the beast be lost to sight; Vishṇup, grant protection to all beings.
Nāsatyas, by your acts you restored to Viśvaka, the son of Kṛṣṇa, soliciting your protection, adoring you, and a lover of rectitude, hs son Viṣṇāpu, (welcome) to his sight as an animal that has been lost.
To Visvaka, Nasatyas! son of Krsna, the righteous man who sought your aid and praised you, Ye with your powers restored, like some lost creature, his son Visnapu for his eyes to look on.
