यदासौ नागतश् चान्तं तस्य देहस्य भो द्विजाः तदा तं वरदं देवं शरणं गतवान् मुनिः
When he could not find the limit of that body, O Brahmins, then the sage sought refuge in that boon-giving god.
ततो ऽसौ सहसा विप्रा वायुवेगेन निःसृतः महात्मनो मुखात् तस्य विवृतात् पुरुषस्य सः
Then, O Brahmins, he suddenly emerged by the force of wind from the mouth of that great-souled person, which was open.
स निष्क्रम्योदरात् तस्य बालस्य मुनिसत्तमाः पुनश् चैकार्णवाम् उर्वीम् अपश्यज् जनवर्जिताम्
Having exited from his belly, O eminent sages, he again saw the earth as a single ocean, devoid of people.
पूर्वदृष्टं च तं देवं ददर्श शिशुरूपिणम् शाखायां वटवृक्षस्य पर्यङ्कोपरि संस्थितम्
He saw again that god, as previously seen, in the form of a child, seated on a couch atop a branch of a banyan tree.
श्रीवत्सवक्षसं देवं पीतवस्त्रं चतुर्भुजम् जगद् आदाय तिष्ठन्तं पद्मपत्त्रायतेक्षणम्
He saw the god with the mark of Śrīvatsa on his chest, wearing yellow garments, four-armed, holding the universe, with eyes wide like lotus petals.
सो ऽपि तं मुनिम् आयान्तं प्लवमानम् अचेतनम् दृष्ट्वा मुखाद् विनिष्क्रान्तं प्रोवाच प्रहसन्न् इव
That god, seeing the sage approaching, floating and unconscious, emerging from his mouth, spoke to him, smiling.
कच्चित् त्वयोषितं वत्स विश्रान्तं च ममोदरे भ्रममाणश् च किं तत्र आश्चर्यं दृष्टवान् असि
Child, did you rest in my belly, and while wandering there, did you see anything wondrous?
भक्तो ऽसि मे मुनिश्रेष्ठ श्रान्तो ऽसि च ममाश्रितः तेन त्वाम् उपकाराय संभाषे पश्य माम् इह
You are my devotee, O best of sages, weary and sheltered by me; therefore, I speak to you for your benefit—look upon me here.
श्रुत्वा स वचनं तस्य संप्रहृष्टतनूरुहः ददर्श तं सुदुष्प्रेक्षं रत्नैर् दिव्यैर् अलंकृतम्
Hearing his words, his body hair stood on end with joy; he saw that one, difficult to behold, adorned with divine jewels.
प्रसन्ना निर्मला दृष्टिर् मुहूर्तात् तस्य भो द्विजाः प्रसादात् तस्य देवस्य प्रादुर्भूता पुनर् नवा
His gaze became clear and pure in a moment, O Brahmins, by the grace of that god, and a new vision appeared again.
रक्ताङ्गुलितलौ पादौ ततस् तस्य सुरार्चितौ प्रणम्य शिरसा विप्रा हर्षगद्गदया गिरा
Then, he bowed with his head to the god's feet, red at the tips of the toes and worshipped by the gods, and spoke with a voice choked with joy.
कृताञ्जलिस् तदा हृष्टो विस्मितश् च पुनः पुनः दृष्ट्वा तं परमात्मानं संस्तोतुम् उपचक्रमे
With hands joined in reverence, delighted and amazed again and again, seeing that Supreme Self, he began to praise him.
देवदेव जगन्नाथ मायाबालवपुर्धर त्राहि मां चारुपद्माक्ष दुःखितं शरणागतम्
O God of gods, Lord of the universe, bearing the form of a magical child, protect me, O beautiful lotus-eyed one, who am suffering and have come for refuge.

I am tormented, O best of gods, by the fire called Saṃvartaka, and frightened by the rain of embers; protect me, O Supreme Person.
