विष्णुं॒ स्तोमा॑सः पुरुद॒स्मम॒र्का भग॑स्येव का॒रिणो॒ याम॑नि ग्मन् । उ॒रु॒क्र॒मः क॑कु॒हो यस्य॑ पू॒र्वीर्न म॑र्धन्ति युव॒तयो॒ जनि॑त्रीः
viṣṇuṃ stomāsaḥ purudasmamarkā bhagasyeva kāriṇo yāmani gman urukramaḥ kakuho yasya pūrvīrna mardhanti yuvatayo janitrīḥ
Vishnu, worshipped in songs, the bright slayer of foes, went along the nights like the doer of the Lord’s will. His mighty stride—whose belly they do not crush—was before; the young women do not offend him.
May (our) praises and prayers, the causes of good fortune, attain at this sacrifice Viṣṇu, the object of many rites; he, the wide-stepping; whose commands the many-blending regions of space, the genitive rators (of all beings), do not disobey.
To Visnu rich in marvels, songs And praises shall go as singers on the road of Bhaga,- The Chieftain of the Mighty Stride, whose Mothers, the many young Dames, never disregard him.
