Sanskrit Original
प्र विष्ण॑वे शू॒षमे॑तु॒ मन्म॑ गिरि॒क्षित॑ उरुगा॒याय॒ वृष्णे॑ । य इ॒दं दी॒र्घं प्रय॑तं स॒धस्थ॒मेको॑ विम॒मे त्रि॒भिरित्प॒देभिः॑
pra viṣṇave śūṣametu manma girikṣita urugāyāya vṛṣṇe ya idaṃ dīrghaṃ prayataṃ sadhasthameko vimame tribhiritpadebhiḥ
May Vishnu come to the dry place; may he, who measures mountains, support the mighty people. He who, striving long, traversed the fixed path with three firm steps.
May acceptable vigour attend Viṣṇu, who abides in prayer, the hymned of many, the showerer (of benefits), who alone made, by three steps, this spacious and durable aggregate (of the three worlds).
Let the hymn lift itself as strength to Visnu, the Bull far-striding, dwelling on the mountains, Him who alone with triple step hath measured this common dwelling-place, long, far extended.
